| back into crawling. SWX or GC3A??
My ax10 is getting out dated. I gave it new tires, a MMP and integy 45t v12. I got a rtc body from a buddy for now. I also have custom aluminum links, nothin fancy. I started to crawl at a local spot and noticed it was a bit wide for some areas that others were goin through. So I went home and did alittle lookin around. I wanna keep running a body but want a narrower chassis. I was looking at the swx kit and the gc3a kit and they are about the same price. I'm in a toss up on which one would work better or if you guys have another suggestion..?? Thanks |

| I think it is. I was gonna try and go with a fastback 2 but people are trying to ban bodiless cause they say its a unfair advantage . They are a bunch of whinners but I don't wanna buy a chassis then have it banned and waste the money.

Try and find a FF4. Just like a Fastback, only no top so you can put a body on it. | |

I've run both and I prefer the Gatekeeper geometry.

I have the swx and in my opinion you cant really go wrong with it. It is a great performing chassis.

Ive never ran the gate keeper, but Id think its a bit better than the SWX... the SWX has too long of a skid plate IMO... It seems to high center easier than the stock chassis. |

GC3A all the way. Once you go thur Gatekeeper's driving school you see its full potential. |
