Edit to Add: track width of 8.75" and a wheelbase of 12.5. Its gotta be narrower then.

Holy smokes! Sitting on 5.9" tall TSL Boggers!

Whoa, I did not even recognize those as Boggers with the cut pattern in them.

Wow. This is exactly the shape and color I had in my head. Pretty sure it’s based off of a real rig. I’m not familiar with the rock bouncing “circuit” but there’s a yellow one that I remember seeing and was actually looking through YouTube for it yesterday.

Here's a link that seems to work:

Both In The Box
(1) Axial® RBX10™ Ryft™ 1/10 4WD RTR
(1) Spektrum™ DX3™ 3-Channel 2.4GHz DSMR® Radio Transmitter
(1) Spektrum™ SR6100AT 6-Channel DSMR® AVC/Telemetry Receiver
(1) Spektrum™ Firma™ 130A Smart ESC
(1) 2200Kv Brushless Motor
(1) Product Manualdiffs are offset. Looks like it's brushless out of the box!

The instructions refer to 3S and 4S use, looks like they are expecting it to take some POWER...

Also, the LiPo packs listed in optional parts are full-size, not shorty packs (thank goodness).

It has faux brake discs/calipers, too...

Black OR orange cage parts!

[txbart]

The manual strongly implies a kit. There’s black, orange, & gray cage parts available. I’m guessing the kit will get the gray parts.

Those are ar60ish width axles. The track width is 12.75" and the wheelbase is 15.25"

Looks like it has open diffs but a diff lock is an option. Not selectable but a replacement part.

How exciting to see a completely new platform. So is this a 2.2 or 1.9?

This thread has shown both a kit and rtr which is ideal

This is a cooool basher

[durok]

2.2" wheel, 5.9" tall tires

Shock Type - Oil-filled, Front 5.11 in (130mm), Rear 5.70 in (145mm)

Those are some LONG-stroke shocks!



Diff spool:



Cage section in the gray color:

Great video. Slow motion makes everything cool!

[WHITE-TRASH]

I give it 3 weeks until some trailer park monkey has those 130mm rear shocks up front and some 160mm savage shocks on it in time for #flecksfriday on the axial page.

[durok]

Skid has 6 link mounting point options front and rear, it comes with an actual servo saver, metal diff covers, and (slight con here) wheels are glue-on on the RTR...

I am going to have the song from that promo video in my head all day

[B-MOW71]

Song stuck in my head too smog!

I like where they mounted the ESC!

Pretty cool, was waiting to see if one of the bigs were going to do anything new this spring, there's my answer. Hopefully they keep the kit price reasonable, and hopefully those axles are good. I think with some reasonable sized tires this would be a neat rig. Not sure how much different it is than a wraith from an application standpoint besides the trailing arm rear but hey at least it's something new. Someone build this and put 4s brushless setup in it so we can see what breaks

The ESC is hidden in plain view. It is indeed a cool idea. A different approach than trying to bury everything under the interior piece

[JatoTheRipper]

I think this is awesome! I’m glad they molded a cage in orange instead of just boring black.

The promo video is awesome. It’s as good as Traxxas promo videos and they do that better than anyone else in RC.

[Topher Builds]

This thing is looking really cool, and relatively unique for what it is. Hope it can take a thrashing!

I haven't even opened my Gatekeeper kit yet. Wondering if I should sell it and get this.

I wouldn't unless you planned on the GK being a bouncer, if so then I definitely would.
