GATEKEEPER KIT

A performance rig built to endure. When hitting the trail, you want to do it with performance and
confi dence. So, we bring you the all-new Enduro Gatekeeper Kit!
Aimed towards the serious RC rock crawler enthusiast, the new Enduro Gatekeeper kit is packed full of
performance features that are sure to impress.
What makes the Enduro Gatekeeper kit special? It's the all-new Gatekeeper Suspension package (GKS™). This
package consist of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning
and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and
consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminum track bar mount fi rmly bolted to the
chassis rail gives the Enduro GK more reliable and responsive steering without the fl ex. Our shock mount inserts
with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning whether it's moving the shocks up, down,
forward, or back.
The performance doesn't stop there. The Enduro GK is built on our proven stamped steel C-channel Enduro
chassis and retains the same awesome features with the addition of hard plastic components and machined steel
pivot balls.
The behind-the-axle (BTA) steering link greatly improves approach angle and front-end clearance, making rough
terrain much easier to handle. The Stealth® X transmission features the ability to adjust the rear drive ratio
independently of the front drive in 3 levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7%, option 1 provides a one-to-one
drive ratio front to rear and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83%.
Feeding the power to the tires are 3-piece telescopic driveshafts with an extruded aluminum center section,
universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears. With the Enduro GK drivetrain, delivering
useful and reliable power will not be an issue.
The Enduro GK kit isn't just all about performance, it's got looks, too. The new Gatekeeper molded cage and
polycarbonate panels are the perfect fi t for a high-performance rock crawler or trail truck. The included interior
with molded driver and passenger heads, along with detailed decal sheet, give the Gatekeeper body awesome scale
looks. The removable hinged body mount makes accessing the electronics and working on the chassis a breeze,
whether out on the trail or in the garage.
With all these amazing features packed in one box, we know the Enduro Gatekeeper Kit is a high-performance
rock crawling machine that's ready to take on the terrain. – Are you?
