Now I can finally use the parts off my dusty scaler.
I ran the GC-2 as a shaft truck and with Berg axles. Gatekeeper geometry just flat works

It did great , my driving was a little off but the chassis did amazing .I ran it as a belly drager but it did not seem to stop it at all,I will be testing it at many different setups to see what works best as an overall setup

Austin am I going to have to build a shafty rig now? Congrats on the new chassis. Looks like it may affect the shafty < moa ratio for a little bit.

Thanks Jason, I have been running it all evening and I cannot believe some of the lines this truck will do. this is going to be a hard truck to beat I will be driving it every day to get back in the grove again.I cut some weight on the truck today it is pretty much ARTR AX10 axles and tranny,with a slipper clutch,vanquish straight axle adapter,knuckles and slw wheels,AXIAL alum axle c's and GC3A chassis.Duratrax 3 1/2 in shocks futaba servo , Rovers with 6oz of weight in each front and none in the rear .With batt and body ready to run it weighs 4lb 8 1/2 oz and this truck has never performed like this before

Haven't comped in about 6 months but I still have the GC2 on Axials.Getting ready for the Goldendale comp,just running the 1.9 class there. I'm going to run a combo of GC2 and GC3 parts....a GC2.5 that will be lightweight. You should come out and run.

I've got to play around with this truck for a little while. It works great. I've had no plans of changing my AX10 (on a GC-2 chassis) because I've ran it pretty much as it is for like 2 years now and I am very comforatable with it. But, after playing with the GC3a for a little while I am convinced. If you think the link geometry on the GC2 is good, wait till you get to drive this one.

Default Sweet!

Gatekeeper, Congrats on the win!

Well, when a chassis WINS its comp debut, I can't help but ask...

Would you mind posting some pics please? We'd all love (dare I say, need) to see how you've got it set up!
Got mine on order from Brian! Now I'm just camping out by the mail box.......

The DTX springs, or Losi springs fit fine.
I forgot to mention that he is using Gatekeeper rod ends on the shocks instead of the stock shock ends. They are slightly smaller and much more durable.
