Yup, they tie-in a lot of things together.


Here are some pictures from my Trailwalker build.

Soze's Enduro Trailwalker RTR


You can see both the "Gate Keeper" and "Trail Runner" were hinted in the IFS box.

Oh wow, never even noticed the Trailrunner either lol. Well time to look at the new box for possible spoilers lol.

Bring on the Gecko! It’ll crawl across the ceiling...

Hey Vanquish, when are we gonna see pieces for the Enduro?

[kincer]

I'm gonna have to sell some rigs, a lot of new stuff out I really need to get my hands on. I really like my Trailwalker and Sendero, these guys really make nice rigs for the price! I was thinking about a Capra but not now.

The Kit box is the outside of the Sendero garage.

Right you are sir!
This is what happens when I watch too many soze vids lol

Also I got curious and google image searched "trophy truck chassis"
The results are SHOCKINGLY similar to what the tubework on the gatekeeper looks like.
Imagine a traxxas UDR with the truck skin removed.
That is this.
Seriously I smell something delicious coming from the Element kitchen...

Hah,

That would be "Gecko Trails" the Instagram handle for Brad Geck from Element RC.

I still can't believe I missed them big easter eggs!

Now I'm wondering where the next big hints will come from! Maybe inside the Gatekeeper box!?!?!?

everyone loves a mystery.

It’s pretty incredible to consider the mileage Element is getting out of their box art.

Nice find brian!
Haha we are the only 3 comments lol

I have no need for another 1.9 truck, but for some reason I'm drawn to this. The cute trailing arms, the metal panhard mount, all hard plastics, and its it's a kit! Well, that about checks all my boxes.

My only complaint is that tube buggies should have, IMO, a 90* approach angle. This belief of mine couldn't be facilitated with the same rails as all the Enduro full bodied trucks.

Quick, someone shorten the nose of the cage and the rails. I wanna see how much work its going to be.

[durok]

If someone shortens it as you describe and then 3-D prints a snub-nose to replace what was cut away, that would be perfect!

[Phyro]

Hemistorm posted a running video as well this weekend. https://youtu.be/hGlHrHqRTe4

He added a heavily modified Proline Colorado to the outside. BTW this body is smaller than most 12.3 crawlers at about 7” wide at the doors. Kinda gives a sense of scale of the cage.

just got my Pre-Order notice from Associated today for the Gatekeeper, looking forward to getting it.

[nielsm]

I got mine as well, but planned on ordering 2, one for me and my son. Wouldn’t let me order more than 1. Hoping another slot opens soon....

Big thanks to a fellow crawler on the forum who shared an extra Fast Track they had. I was able to order the second Gatekeeper kit.

Looking forward to the builds.....

You're welcome! Thanks for the account help, all fixed now.


Good timing with Element RC and Holmes Hobbies. Got a Gatekeeper coming along with a SHV500V3 servo and a nasty Crawlmaster Pro.

[nielsm]

I have a Holmes crawlmaster pro with a BRXL esc in my Capra. Amazing low speed control. Should be a great setup in the Gatekeeper.

Silky smooth.

I am drawn to the thought of going brushless on this one

[soze]

Well.... Looks like new Gatekeeper RTR is here.... which also means... NEW BOX!
