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 |

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. |

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. J |
