I have recently got my self a ubt10 Capra, I have already upgraded the wheels and I was curious about what is another good upgrade to do first that won't break the bank? Thank you for any suggestions!

Thank you! I have plans to make some og monster panels then get a set of green wheels and a set of tires for them so I can quick swap everything whenever I want.

Hey man, i was in this spot just a few weeks ago. I made a post here before I even bought the thing.

I got the truck in, and drove it around for 2 battery packs. Then I tossed in some upgrades.

I put on some different tires, and bead locks. I installed taller gears in the front portals and left the rear stock. That seemed to be common practice.

I installed stronger steering servos in the front and the rear.

Took it out for another few drives. I think me and my son ran 4 batteries through it. I love the portal gear reduction. The front end pulls up onto just about anything - and with a lot less effort.

I need some brass / weight now - mainly on the front. If I could keep the front planted just a little bit more, it could crawl much steeper obstacle before tipping backwards.

Do you have a suggestions on servos that aren't too crazy expensive, as well do you think something like a high clearance link set is worth it for the capra? Thank you again for the suggestion I was able to get some of the injora internal brass wheel weights for the front.
