- [RCSparks] Ah, it's a perfect day outside
to go out and try the new build I've been working on,
the CAPO SIXER 1.
This is a 1/6th scale Samurai.
Now you've got it, it is missing it's top right now.
If fact, I thought this would be a good opportunity
to see how some of the animatronics work in here.
I did switch my gear shifter from the outcry of viewers
in my last video that don't understand a hobbyist
can set up his stuff however he sees fit.
But (laughs) I had it hooked up to steering
to help you guys even see and have it demonstrated easy.
Because you'll notice today,
when I have it hooked up to throttle, for example,
you'll barely see it moving, because with a crawler,
it's not like you're really hard on the trigger
and off the trigger.
Some of you guys said maybe hook it up to high and low gear,
and I totally encourage you guys
to hook up yours however you see fit.
Again, I don't really do a lot of shifting
when I'm out there.
And I think for filming purposes,
it's always easier to see it
when it's hooked up to steering.
But, just to get everybody untriggered,
(mechanical noise twisting back and forth)
there you go!
He's going to shift with the throttle.
I love that CAPO gave me an animated figurine.
It's very awesome.
Thank you to those guys.
It's been six years of amazing work of CAPO.
I will put the lid on in a few minutes
but I thought it would be great to kind of see this
out there rolling around, in the light,
and have a listen to how it sounds.
Now, one thing you'll hear rattling is this
old, plastic, World War II gas canister.
It's not secure in there so
you'll hear a little bit of rattling but not too much.
Open differential at the moment.
It is a remote locking diff.
Um, and if those of you that watched the build video
of the motor and internal transmission today,
you will get to see this in action, of course.
(motor whirring)
Very smooth, that belt-driven transmission,
I think it's absolutely a genius idea.
(remote control car sound)
Now, considering putting in a sound kit into this,
but for you guys today, of course,
considering how you guys love your new kits nice and quiet,
you can hear how it goes.
Listen to the smoothness.
(remote control car sound)
(mission music)
(exciting mission music)
I have it in low gear.
We're going to see how that suspension does today
for a scale truck.
Being 1/6th scale is nice because it's a little bit larger
and can handle more obstacles.
But here we go with the open diffs.
Yep, so I'm getting a little bit of slippage there.
Not a big surprise.
Let's get in and have a look at it.
Beautiful tires, guys. I love it.
Just do my shoulder check. Yeah, everything's fine.
Back up.
Okay, now I'm going to turn my diffs.
Lock them up on my dial.
You guys can check out the last build
where I assembled the electronics to see that in action.
Now, we should be able to climb up here.
(tires spinning)
At least the tires are spinning.
Ooh, it's steep. I'm getting into steeper zone here.
I should've used a little more wheel speed.
(remote control car engine revs)
There it is.
(remote control car sound)
Of course, get him coming down.
What a great crawl. Let's go get that lid on.
Now, this is pretty simple. It's just two screws.
So, there's two clip points in the front.
Right, here's one of them right here
and then another one over here.
It's like right in the frame.
These are aluminum or whatever the frame is made out of.
I think it's aluminum. And there's two right on the back.
And then what you do is, you take the lid
and you just slide it down into place.
And then there's two screws that attach it down here,
and that's it.
(exciting music)
Well, isn't it a beaut, eh?
I believe others call it a gemny,
if I read that right from the comments section.
I gotta say, that CAPO did an outstanding job
on the scale features of this vehicle.
Even working windshield wipers,
though they seem to scratch the windows.
I'm going to put a small layer of rubber on there
so I can actually clear water,
but let's get this thing out moving around.
So the crawling gear,
and I'll then I'll switch it up to the second gear. Woot!
That's a 40 turn brushed motor I have in there, right?
So that's got quite a bit of jam for a 40 turn on a 3 cell.
(remote control car sound)
You hear stuff rattling around in there. Belt driven.
(remote control car sound)
I like that. That sounds good.
Now, you guys are going to want me to do size comparisons
here pretty soon, hey?
I'm going to say this is the good, you know,
like it's wider than a 1/10th scale.
It's definitely not larger than my Kriegsman.
The jeep, the Kriegsman Jeep is bigger,
but the actual like inside,
everything about this vehicle, is large.
If it was a 1/10th scale,
I think it would have come off as too small.
But thankfully as a 1/6th scale, you can still blend into
the 1/10th scales or the 1/8th scales.
And, when you have locked diffs, you definitely do
that little crow-hopping as you go around the corner.
Look at that. (tires spinning)
So unlocked right there.
Look at how much articulation I have though.
So I don't mind leaving it open right now
just so you can see it.
And then look how much drop suspension I have in the back.
I did put a spring in the damper
just to kind of solidify it
with the extra weight of the back tire.
Now, this is simple right, can't get out.
Got a full, dry brake.
I'll just lock up that differential, and away you go.
Listen how quiet it is.
(remote control car hums quietly)
It's a simply, beautiful machine. Wow!
Ooh, got to watch it, hard body.
Big piece of metal right here that could take
a big chunk out of it if I wasn't careful.
Can we get it down? We're sidehilling.
(tumble sound) (laughs)
Just in time! (laughs)
See, always be aware of where your vehicle could fall down
when you're taking your lines, eh?
Be on the lookout. He wants to slide again.
But I think we're almost close enough to the bottom
if I turn into it and bring my nose down,
I should get out of this.
(remote control car moves back and forth)
Lock diffs for the win!
Let's get out of locked diffs. Completely unlocked.
And then switch into second gear.
(remote control car engine revs)
Woot hoot!
Well, there you go, guys!
There is your initial look at the CAPO SIXER 1.
No, I don't have any tint on my windows
or any kind of protective film,
shame on you guys for thinking that
I would've had that on there. (laughs)
What do you think of the CAPO SIXER 1?
Has it knocked your socks off?
Is this something that you would go out and seek out
and maybe try one out with your buddies on the trail?
Let me know in the comments section down below,
and pretty soon we'll head out on to the trail with this
and see how far it can go. Yeah!
Until next time, guys.
Get outside, and have fun with RC! Woot hoot!
(remote control car whirs)
Going for days.
(remote control car whirs loudly)
What do you think, Raven? Can we do a size comparison?
It's a pretty big truck.
