Popular Post Oh How Original Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 Well after posting on social media about how long I'd waited with no replies from Associated or Element, then Modelsport saying my Gatekeeper must have broken due to misuse someone from CML reached out to me, we spoke this morning, parts are shipped, due for arrival tomorrow. FYI, the senior engineer at AE said he is a aware of a problem with brittle plastics on the Gatekeeper and they are speaking to the manufacturer about it. So, after everything, it wasn't my fault why it broke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlC Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 @Oh How Original That's a result. Was pretty sure a person of your experience wouldn't have broken it by misuse (or at least admitted it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty sure a person of your experience wouldn't have broken it by misuse (or at least admitted it). Nope, definitely not. If I had a 4000kv basher combo in it running on 3s for a couple of months, then yeah I'd put it down to me, but a low geared 2300kv crawler specific combo having had two runs of 1500mAh run times... No definitely not me to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 My warranty replacement Gatekeeper cage and assorted parts arrived today and they have confirmed, for whatever reason, the cage can only be bought as a complete unit. Also put the Gatekeeper on some quite small 2.2s, because I had the rims spare, I actually quite like the look, not sure how good these cheap tyres will grip, perhaps need to find some a similar size that are better rubber. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 As the gatekeeper doesnt have a slipper and small dp spiral cut diff pinions and spurs the weak point is the diffs, I modified the transmission slightly with a 40t axial spur and some slipper gaskets on the stock enduro spur plates, shaved the back one down a bit as it was binding on the pinion. Is now rapidly quick on 2s and slipper slips nicely when expected, hold the truck down it will slip anyother time it bites. Also cut down the spare battery tray to hold a 2nd 3s lipo battery just to power the insanely strong servo needed to shift the ifs kit with deep dish wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just cant help tinkering, looks like a g1 transmission will fit in pretty easily on the gatekeeper. Time will tell if its anygood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question for ya mate, I have a set of deep dishies coming. Is that enough extra width or should I buy extenders as well ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good explanation here, mainly for uphills, ledges, might help with side hilling a bit, but as noted in the video, its situational. Looking forward to testing it out more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
