Received our new GC2 Gatekeeper chassis today. Now all I have to get to complete it is the new Losi Crawler shocks and traxxas links for the suspention. I have all the stuff ordered and it should be in tomorrow (Friday). If this chassis is as good as they say, these will be 2 awosome trucks. Its made from Delrin and is said to be exceptionally strong according to what i have been told by the man himself. Looking forward to see if all I've heard is true.

Looks sweet! I was eyeballing those before I decided to do a scaler/trailer.

The skid is 6.45mm thick and the chassis sides are about 3.20mm thick. According to Austin Dunn they tested it to no end with no brakeage at all. Last I heard they were driving it off 20' ledges with no damage. He also said it slides over the rock real nice with few hang ups. I wish I had the material to make me some Delrin links also. I have heard they work better than the aluminum. Not stronger just hangs up less with the Delrin links.

Try here for the Delrin tube: http://www.mcmaster.com/. I was referred to that place on another site.
