| SpEd's GC-1
I did not get much of a chance to watch Austin or Joey run thier's at Nat's. So I figured it was time to try somthin new this year. I was able to get ahold GateKeeper to see if I could get my hands on one out of the first batch. Well after gettin it I have to say it is a Special friendly chassis to set up (smoooth as butter). Now it's time to see if it will handle a 20' cliff . You all now the run down on parts so I'll just get to the pic's.. Thanks for lookin SpEd. |

Wow Special looks good Now you need to get it out on the rocks. Just a thought. I think I would switch the springs (stiffer in the rear and softer up front). |

I like that chassis! Where can I get some of those disabled radio operator stickers? We have 3 guys in our group that qualify for using those. I would be happy to buy them from whoever is making them? Please!

I finaly had a chance to take this out and play with it. I'm really happy with how it performed out at little moab (main crawl place for us Utahards). First thing I need to do is redo the shock oil I'm a little to thick (70 wieght on the rear, 60 up front) I'm not use to running my shocks this way.. On to the pics..Thanks to DeanO for the pics. |
