Good, but sign up for photobucket or some other free site to upload your pics and then link them here in your posting.

Everyone is shi}}in on menbut I'm telling ya, other than the torque twist. It crawled no better. I used Traxxas bigbore aluminum shocks with revo rod end mod on the top. I used Losi gold springs ( the softest i could find.) which were so soft it had droop. And it would still tip over side Hilling and hitting an addition bump where my buddies stock ax10 would not.. Both running HB rovers same foams same wheels. His just flexed and mine just flipped over.. I could only get about 60* of articulation.
I ran 6oz of front weights and 4oz in rear.. Same as buddy's ax10. We both had our electronics mounted on the links on slings we made and zipped tied on. 2200mah 2s lipo on his front servo Velcro'd on. I ran a 1300mah 2s on my servo Velcro'd on.

Were you thinking the softest springs you could find would help in side-hill rollover? I would think they'd make it worse by allowing more roll. How about playing with internal and external shock limiters to limit the roll angle? Try limiting your articulation to one tire height, 5.5". And maybe a wider track width.

FWIW, the new Losi blacks are softer than the golds. Not that I'm recommending them.

Nope, meant what I said

Axial blacks were supposed to be softer than Losi golds, but on my spring tester they come out about the same.

Here's the new Losi black:

Yes and as I already told you some pics would really help us help you.

Something is REALLY wrong if a stock AX-10 is out crawling a Gatekeeper.

[madkawi650]

I'll agree I probably needed some shock tuning.. My chassis just did not flex.

You won't they never went into production. There are a few prototypes floating around but that's it.

That's what I've been saying...assembled wrong, way off shock etc. setup....

Very cool! I had not seen those yet. Thanks!

[mayheem]

i have noticed big difference with the gatekeeper chassis in crawling i noticed the skinnier chassis help get through some places where my stock chassis would get caught up. iam still learning howto drive it without the flex its a learning curve but iam very pleased with the performance.
