I really appreciate you looking at the affordable (read as Cheap Chinese Copy) parts for these trucks. I don't compete, and I barely get to drive twice a month, it is hard for me to justify $200+ for the good parts. It is nice to see realistic reviews of non premium parts by known good source.
Thanks! I’ve seen a 2-speed that is interesting as well.
@@ExocagedRC That would be nice. I am looking at replacing my gatekeeper transmission with that one. I have had a good experience with my Amazon cheap dig. I just stripped, shimmed, greased, trimmed, and added locktite. It has been acceptable, not $200 great, but $60 "it works".....
thats a sweet rig!
I love your builds.....super evident the experience you have in the hobby! Great Job....your a huge inspiration Exo!
Thanks man! I appreciate that
Maaaan... Your custom trucks are incredible!
Love it Joe nothing like a just for fun build to put a smile on everyone's face.
Yeah man. It’s just for fun and to see what it can do. Wait till I get to the Sidehill crawling video… oh man. Gotta get the Castle powered one up in a few days.
@@ExocagedRC can't wait to see it I've got something similar but different on my shelf. That castle system should wake it all the way up.
The castle hum is cool sounds better than the revolver that thing sounds nasty
I run that exact castle setup in my Capra and I love it. I played with the throttle curve a bit to tone down the power and it’s perfect for what I do with it.
Just fitted one of these dig units to my scx10 based caged beast along with some aliexspress wraith axles and it seems to work well but as with all things from China make sure all the bolts are tight because ln my excitement to get it fitted I forgot and the 3 bolts holding the spur gear on came lose and locked the gearbox up and stripped the teeth of the pinion gear not a problem when your at home but I was over a mile away and as the truck is full metal and weighs close to 8 1/2 lb not so much fun. Love your channel always very informative keep up the good work
This is my dream build! (with respect to my own customizations.) I love having an "analog" dial with a center bump for my rear steer as well as all the standard preset modes. Love the dig, love the 4ws, love the low CG, love the transmission. Great job on this build bro!
Thank you man!
Thor is gonna be a amazing rig 👍
Man ppl don't like that capra transmission but I really like it. Good to know that Amazon 3 gear works well too.
I do like it and run it in several comp trucks like Optimus 3 and Myolnir as well as the Creep 6 but I really wanted to try this and so far I like it.
Total beast of a truck 👍
Ya' know Joe, now you're gonna have to build a new pile of rocks just for this rig. Maybe start a new class for the winter series. ;p Great video!
LoL yeah it’s a bit large for the normal obstacles.
Hey y'all, really enjoy your Capra building. I've got a complete kit to build with all Treal metal axles. Dang they weight probably 2lbs each. Just my thoughts. What do you think about that? I know you are busy but some advice would be helpful. Thanks for your help and consideration boss!!! 👍
Yep
This thing is a beast. New comp class? :D
Congratulations on the 40k subs!
Thank you! Its taken me a long time to get here!!
That was really cool how you locked the rear and spun the front around.
i borrowed your idea n made a couple of my trucks on offroad outlaws 2 if u never played it try it im addicted to it its a game for your phone any way it worked very well
you gettn the new scx 6
That's a killer truck
I have the castle mamba x 2850kv in my brazin atl with trx4 sport trans and its crawls beautiful n the power/wheel speed is insane. The copper head is even better cuz its just as good and quiet.
Copperhead esc’s are quiet?
Just ordered this trans for my gen7 ModCat so will see how she works for me.
Amazing rig let’s see what you do with that Furitek scx24 next🧐😁
Nice!!! you need to get a another transfer case, it has a little hole in it, almost measure it carefully, (Thor) mod is getting good custom job on it, i'm very impressed! (Grade B+)
thor is very impressive bud
another great video.
I'm thinking that the new spectrum 2300 kv integrated motor with esc would be a good choice for this it's like the hobbywing fusion but with a higher kv.
Yeah and that has my interest. CCXRC has one so I’ll be waiting for his video on that
I'm sure you already know but Holmes Hobbies puller pro V2 2700kv/mambaX Will allow you to crawl nice and slow and give you all the wheel speed you need. You can even run that bad boy on 4S. I have that power system in my spare time hobbies chassis and my g-speed chassis. Love it.
Yeah I’ve already got a castle powered video done and up for the members as well as a Holmes powered with 2500kv revolver. I just don’t want to back to back release them as I have other stuff to get out. But in the end, I’m staying with a Revolver motor.
@@ExocagedRC I love my puller pro v2s but to be honest I'm definitely interested in trying out a revolver. I love having all that wheel speed though so I would get a higher KV revolver.
What trailing arm are you using?
u have gt5 and u should put ur rear servo on channel 6 to have complete control of it. not just crab steer or 4 steer complete supérate movement of the rear wheels
I can do that but then I’d have to change camera and drive with 2 hands. I drive with one hand and record with the other in almost all my videos.
Did you use the stock Ryft driveshafts? Is that why you had to clearance the transmission ?
That’s the same castle combo I have in trx4
Thor is what you'd get if a Creep6 had unprotected sex with a Superlite, a beast.
😂😂😂
I bought my capra used so go easy on me. But are the transmission I'm the capra 1 gear I notice the slow crawl is terrible even with the crawl master and hobbywing 1080 in it. And another question does it change gears on its own according to how fast you are driving or do you do it with your controller?
Love this build. Anyone make overdrive/underdrive for ryft? That could help with the front jacking. Stoked on the castle transplant! Keep it up bud. You're content is awesome.
Thanks! I’m hoping for some
Vitavon OD portal gears soon. That would help you’re right. Vanquish has underdrive ring and pinion available.
Vanquish also makes an underdrive ring and pinion for Ryft axles. It isn't much, but it is noticeable and does help.
They say it only works with the 'stock' axles housings, but the different size inner pinion bearing Vanquish uses still also fits the vitavon housings since the vitavon only up-sizes the outside pinion bearing.
@@ExocagedRC gonna have to take a trip to some red rock with that rig when it's all dialed in because you're gonna need a bigger place to play.
Soon we should have more options to run outrunners silently, Furitek is working on a 10th scale ESC.
Not sure if that is public but they did tell me in an email and i am no one special.
I am just hoping it is 60A and more available than the Holmes Crawlmaster that i see going for 160-200 for the unopened kit now.
Yeah he told me about that as well. Maybe I’ll get one and give it a try. The CM Minis are $100 now.
@@ExocagedRC I am all the way over in Norway so prices are way higher here.
Would you recommend this trans behind the hobbywing fusion pro in rock pirates capra build?
That’s probably what I’ll do when I get that chassis
Thanks for the quick response. I’m definitely gonna try it in my build as soon as I decide on which axles to use.
What pinion gear did you use?
Vanquish trans have the same clearance issue?
I don't know but I'd have to assume yeah
fixing to do this to my gspeed capra what size pinion did u use joe ?
If i remember right, THAT transmission (or 1 like it), was offered 5+ years ago as a scx10 (1 & 2) upgrade. Was all super cheaply made, plastic & a few metal gears, by a 'name brand' manufacturer who ended up going bust because their tranny was crap. (At the time, a friend bought 1. Was almost $200!😳) The dig unit was crap. NICE to see it upgraded by a (Chinese probably) company with cnc machinery make it better! 👍
Damn😳. I been into this crap way too long! Since 1979.
LoL well, your name checks out! 😀😀
speaking to different lines... you ever do the nasty backwards?
Yep
should have done some speed comparisons. so it can crawl but compared to what?
compared to a tortoise
@@ExocagedRC lol i meant it can crawl but how is it compared to stock. we will never know because you didnt do a comparison. how much top speed did you lose?
What Kimbro spurs fit it?
#129 and the others that are that same design
Is this with the 48p stock gear it came with? If so, what pinion gear are you using on the motor. I just put this same transmission in my capra. I have a 16 tooth on the motor and kinda think I need to go bigger. Im Using the stock 35t motor
This thing is awesome! Question now if u stretched and widened a Capra would they b the same? Just curious
Well, I did a build with a capra chassis trans and AR60 axles. It’s pretty awesome.
Any problems with the trans yet
As soon as you said 2850kv castle, I made the hell ya face 😜😝
LOL
I'm diggin this build - have you thought about slapping more axles under it? Make it a 6x6 or 8x8!!
I’d need a way to power those extra axles. There are no through pinion options that I know of.
Can you fit a 550 can with this trans
Do you have a video of how you setup your controls for your 4 wheel steering and radio your using??
I've got older videos on that look for GT3c or hacked radio 4ws etc.
@@ExocagedRC okay thanks
brotha...you should really pair that Mamba X with a 3500kv puller pro,you'd get way more bump and WAAAAY more low end smoothness than the Castle motor!!
Your gonna need an 1/8th scale body to fit the wheelbase
This one is ok for now.
9:36 O Yeah 👍
not seeing the link for the dig.
amzn.to/2WYF302
What pinion and spur are you using?
I have no idea but I think around a 16 in 48p
nice truck to bad the body is to small.
It’s the largest comp worthy body out there right now.
Sweet build. So... weight wise, how does this 3 gear with dig compare to the one you put in SV2?
I didn't weigh it but its heavier for sure with the metal case and big servo
@@ExocagedRC Would you put the micro99 on it like you did on SV2? You'd have to pick up that modified bracket... btw where'd you get that bracket for the SV2 dig?? ...Anyway, I'm probably gonna have to order this combo and give it a try. Seems like a great deal.
Pff...it runs alright 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Is it possible to build a ryft with all the features of this truck?
Well. I’m sure that’s possible. The suspension and all is kinda there. Just needs this trans put in there
Do you recomend this transmission
The way to get rid of the 'castle whine'...
Tekin. I refuse to use Castle ESC's until they update their firmware (and maybe hardware) to use a higher frequency control loop.
Granted - everyone has a different degree of annoyance with the noise they make. For me - it simply drives me crazy. I can't do it.
It’s rough on camera but not bad when out with the guys. I do wish they would do an update on that.
The new 3 gear trans did that change up the gear ratio much? Did you cover the clearance hole you created in the trans case?
Clearance hole? I didn’t modify the case at all that I remember and yeah it’s geared lower than the Capra trans is.
@@ExocagedRC the hole that was in the case u ground out did u end up covering it with anything
Would this fit a scx10 2 skidplate?
Can someone please point me in the right direction for a build sheet or something on this truck? I’ve been so torn between what to get.. this. This is what I want to build!
Very cool! Do you think 4 wheel steering is worth it on a bigger rig like a wraith or a Wroncho?
it depends on what you're after with it. Totally up to you, its fun for sure.
@@ExocagedRC I'm just rock crawling for fun.
I like Large scale crawlers . I want to see more . MY axial rift I HAVE NOW IS GOING TO BECOME MY LARGE SCALE CRAWLER and the default motor in it cogs yeah a little , but it still craws good . but i will be getting a better system for it later for now it good tho after shimming the diff better so it don't die like factory when i ran it for the first time on 3 s lipo.
get the low gear conversion, that helps
@@ExocagedRC will do the next time im on amein or at my local hobby shop
Who wants to see a thor vs creep 6 shoot out?
Hmmm. They are so very different it really depends on what the obstacles are, that could easily swing the win either way.
2850 and smaller pinion?
I tried that with the same 14t pinion it was ok but just didn’t feel right. I’ve got that video done and the Members have it right now.
What about a Hobbywing axe 3300kv?
That could probably fit with the 3gear in place.
4s?
I did for a little bit
If you was gonna compete with this, what class would it fit in? Or does it not fit in any class
I don't think there is a class where this would be good in lol
Hey!
Can you try this new Foams I see floating around in some forums?
They are called A.L.T Foams and are Designed and Made in Germany.
I am curious to see what you think about them 😁👍
And btw great Video as always 💪
Haven’t messed with them. I’m wanting to try the Anti Foams from 3brc soon.
Hey @exocagedrc I would love to see you drive Thor with a set of Mickey Thompson baja claws I’m lookin at them but not sure if I should get them or not I would like to see them crawl and think they could be good on Thor
I’ve had those before and they are a very good tire. I liked them but I sold them with my 1/6 Ford truck I had them on
Hi there, big fan of your channel. Do you think a HW fusion 1800 will fit this transmission? What is the maximum clearance between the motor mount and the trans servo?
I doubt the Fusion will fit, it will make contact with the dig servo.
Awesome car. I just need a little bit more speed.. when it drives like 20 mph it's more then enough. What's the total cost of that nice rig? 😊
Over $2k as it sits, maybe close to $2500
@@ExocagedRC damn that's a littl bit high for my wallet 🙈 nice build sir
Once you do water with it...an i mean...submarine it...the gears will rust and fail...it’s no good,the gears...
👍😁
Ok. Still dont understan this 3 gear transmission
Let’s see a deep hill climb you know just to see 😂
Why not just slap an AXE 550 3300kv into it?
Well with this setup I think it can fit, I'd have to see if I have a 48p pinion with a 5mm bore
good news everyone... exocaged is bad at crawling....
hes bad so he cheats and not uses stock systems...
Shouldn't shop on Amazon
