For some reason I cannot "un sold" the original thread, so this is the same crawler. After looking at the 2.2" axle setup, I decided to not chop this one up into a 2.2" crawler, but rather convert another U4 Gatekeeper into a 2.2" unit. This black Gatekeeper is right where it needs to be for its intended purpose.

$300 + shipping and insurance.


We started with the Gatekeeper Kit from Element, and performed the following mods:

1. Motor flip mount
2. Extended steering arms
3. Removed excess weight and sway bar
4. Aluminum chassis braces
5. Aluminum shock towers
6. SSD Knuckle weights
7. Rear axle weights
8. Internal springs on shocks
9. Front battery mount.
10. Brood Riot 1600kV outrunner
11. Castle Copperhead 10 ESC with case and power button removed.
12. Reefs servo.
13. Aluminum C hubs
14. Rear link riser.

Notes:

1. Spektrum transmitter receiver not included. If you want it, it's another $30.00
2. Lipo battery not included
3. Comes with Grey Injora deep dish wheels, CI two stage foams, and JConcepts Hold tires.

Trying to make this as painless as possible. 0.40 on the dollar; if you want a crawler GK, this is a pretty easy decision.
 
USPS has been running about $40 for shipping, depending on how small I can make the box. Shipping rates seem to have jumped again this year.
