Axial 1/18 UTB18 Capra RC Trail Buggy RTR Overview
The Axial UTB18 Capra 4WS Unlimited Trail Buggy climbs to the summit of the mini RC crawler category with the best features for crawling on challenging indoor and outdoor trails. It's also fully ready-to-run, and at 1/18 scale, very affordable. Whether you're a veteran RC crawling enthusiast or a new modeler bringing home your first RC rig, the UTB18 Capra 4WS makes it easy to add adventure to your life almost anywhere.
No previous 1/18 scale RTR mini crawler has offered this level of performance and value. Four-wheel steering gives the UTB18 Capra 4WS impressive maneuverability, whether you're climbing rock ledges, flexing over obstacles, or squeezing through tight notches. Portal axles with Currie F9 housings provide the high clearance to navigate those rougher, tougher trails. Officially licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Pro X tires mounted to Pro-Line Holcomb Crawler Bead-Loc wheels supply the grip to get through extreme terrain.
The rig's 4-link suspension geometry provides smooth, consistent articulation without the bump steer found in 3-link designs. For increased performance and durability, the lower links are made of stainless steel. Add in the quick, strong steering of its axle-mounted, 1/10 scale servo, and the UTB18 Capra 4WS is ready to conquer challenges indoors and out – and even outperform some larger rock crawlers.
Then there's the UTB18 Capra 4WS 4-wheel steering system. It's never been easier to tightly follow the line that leads from “here” to “there”. Three steering modes – for no rear tire input, mirrored rear tire input, or “crab crawl” – can be activated from the included 3-channel Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz transmitter. These modes provide the flexibility you need to maneuver over or around almost anything in your way. All drivers gain new terrain conquering ability!
The scaled-down Capra tube chassis adds realistic trail buggy looks, with helmeted driver and passenger figures, LED headlights, rock lights, and light bar. Choose from two new paint scheme and livery options. One has a gray cage and blue body panels with licensed King Shocks livery. The other has a black cage and yellow body panels with licensed Mickey Thompson Tire livery.
The UTB18 Capra 4WS ready-to-run package includes high-quality Spektrum electronics for maximum value. The stand-alone Spektrum Firma 25A brushed ESC and Spektrum 5-channel SR515 dual protocol receiver accommodate additional lighting options and transmitter upgrades. The Spektrum Smart 650mAh 2S LiPo battery powers the rig through 30+ minutes of uninterrupted adventure. Recharge the battery quickly and easily with the supplied Spektrum Smart USB-C charger.
Whether you're looking for an inexpensive entry into RC crawling or want to add a mini to your collection of Axial rigs, prepare to be won over by the features, capabilities, looks, and value of the UTB18 Capra 4WS/4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy. Plus, many Axial UTB18 option parts are already available for when you're ready to add upgrades.

4-WHEEL STEERING
Equipped with 4-wheel steering and a 4WD drivetrain, the UTB18 4WS mini RC crawler dominates on challenging trails. Three steering modes – for no rear tire input, mirrored rear tire input, or “crab crawl” – can be activated from the included 3-channel Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz transmitter. The unmatched maneuverability lets you crawl with confidence on rock ledges, over obstacles, and through tight spots.
OFFICIALLY LICENSED TIRES
The officially licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Pro X tires have an aggressive stance and give the UTB18 Capra 4WS the grip to conquer rocky trails, rough dirt tracks, and most other indoor and outdoor crawling surfaces. The tires are mounted on Pro-Line Holcomb Internal Bead-Loc wheels.
SPEKTRUM ELECTRONICS
Adding to the value of the UTB18 Capra 4WS RTR package, Axial includes a 3-channel Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz transmitter plus a stand-alone 5-channel Spektrum SR515 receiver and Spektrum Firma 25A ESC. The receiver accommodates more lighting options and higher-level transmitters like the Spektrum DX series. Two Spektrum S664 25T steering servos, a Spektrum Smart 650mAh 2S LiPo battery, Spektrum Smart USB-C charger, and four AA transmitter batteries are also supplied.
CAPRA TUBE CHASSIS
Offering realistic trail buggy looks as well as optimum clearance over rugged terrain, the UTB tube chassis design has proven to dominate in 1/10 scale and 1/18 scale. In addition to its popular, well-known styling, the UTB18 cage is available in black (with the licensed Mickey Thompson Tire livery version) or gray (with the licensed King Shocks livery version).
VERSATILE 1/18 SCALE
Similar to the popular 1/10 scale Axial Capra 1.9 Unlimited Trail Buggy but 1/18 scale, the UTB18 Capra 4WS enables anyone to afford an exceptionally capable rig that offers the ultimate scale trail experience. Now you can adventure indoors or outdoors, and in locations with limited area for crawling – and with the advantage of 4-wheel steering for unrivaled maneuverability.
4-LINK SUSPENSION
Axial has made adjustments to the 4-link geometry to allow for 4-wheel steering without sacrificing the proven performance and durability of the UTB18 rig.
FULLY READY-TO-RUN
Fully assembled and finished, the UTB18 Capra 4WS comes with a factory-installed motor, Spektrum 5-channel SR515 dual protocol receiver, Spektrum Firma 25A brushed ESC, and two Spektrum S664 25T steering servos. Everything you need to start crawling is included in the box. Just charge the provided LiPo battery with the USB-C charger and hit the trails!
PORTAL AXLES
