Gatekeepers 2012 ''secret agent''

[Gatekeeper]

I am not much of a build thread person and not very good at it but here we go.This is going to be more of an already built thread with tunning and rig specs.

I have been talking with Eddie @CRAWLER INNOVATIONS about building a new rig for 2012 nationals . Eddie got me hooked up with 4xFord which talked to Jeremy @ Y TOWN CRAWLERS about me trying out one of his chassis the ''SA'' so here we go

I have taken a small break from crawling but have been keeping up with whats going on and when I seen that people were getting these rigs under 4lbs I knew I had to try it out because with anything in gravity style sports lighter should be better if you know how to control it.

Here is a list of all the parts used to make this what it is.
