Watch my Capra UTB18 Blow Your Mind

What difference do weighted wheels make on this little thing? Let's find out!

I started with an Axial Capra UTB18 1/18 RTR crawler. I wanted to replace my custom-built Mini 1.9 comp crawler. But though the UTB18 had potential, there was a considerable gap in capability between the two.

RCAWD supplied these wheels for review. They also are supporting our local club (Melbourne Comp Crawlers) and are very responsive on feedback and product development. Thanks, RCAWD, you guys are ace.

Update late May: RCAWD overdrive and underdrive portal gears are ready!
- 24/17 (1.4118:1 ratio) – 22.78% overdrive.
- 27/14 (1.9286:1 ratio) – a 10% underdrive
Combine both sets (24/17 front, 27/24 rear) for roughly 33% overdrive - perfect for competition crawling!
