My Gatekeeper Designs GC2 getting it done

[Tanis]

No tuning yet on the rig, just got it running yesterday.
This rig pulled all the normal lines at one of my usual test spots, and then I started looking for harder stuff, which it happily did as well
I can't wait to start tuning it.

Looks real good Tanis, side hilling seems to be a strong point on the rig as well

Yes, it sidehills very well, and doesn't "push" very much when turning, if you have traction on the front tires.

Ok, that's it, going to finish mine now.

First time I got to see this chassis in action

Seems to work the rocks out pretty nicely. I know the camera doesn't do those climbs any justice. I'm sure they look near impossible in real life:-P

people dont understand how much traction that rock really has! you can do some crazy stuff on that kind of rock.. you can also break alot of parts to! good vid tanis! cant wait to see it in person!

Dustin is right this rock does offer a ton of traction, although not quite as much as one of my other test spots, as these have some moss and loose dirt in places, but still allows for insane lines.
And they can take parts out in a hurry, if you aren't careful

Looks good Nathan, I hope my suspension smoothings out alot more after I get the new skid installed or else I may not be able to hang with you anymore and I'll just have to tamper with your rig befor we run.

Looking forward to when you can Mike

[kid rock]

so witch chassic do you like better, the bj or the gc2 ? and can you tell me why .

[Tanis]

They are both good chassis, that are designed for 2 vastly different setups(if you run them like they are intended to be). I had my custom BJ setup to crawl a lot like my SW3, but with the lower profile of the chassis, shorter shocks and where I was able to mount my dig servo, the CG was lower, which allowed it to climb verts better, and sidehill better.
The GC2 will climb verts better, I think because the link geometry keeps the front end planted better. The axle stays where it should throughout the travel. I also haven't had to run as much weight to make it work.
