Was it worth selling the Capra for the Gatekeeper project? We’re gonna run it side by side on the trail to find out 🤘🏼

I learn more every time I watch your channel About climbing than any other channel on RU-vid so you are much appreciated. Such a beautiful place. I live in the flatlands of Michigan. Saginaw valley farm fields, beautiful rich soil, but not much to climb!!!! but I don’t let that stop me.

The cage hitting before the tyres on the Gatekeeper is the main reason I stretched my wheelbase at the front on my GK... Cool footage bro...keep up the good work. Enjoyed as always.. Cheers mate 👍

I like your comparison of two modified rigs, though as a owner of both, I’d say in stock form the Capra would be the better performer.

That front cage protrusion is my main complaint about the gatekeeper. I chopped the front off mine and replaced it with a back sloping jeep grille. Slightly better approach angle, but I lost the ability to pivot the cage open. Might just drop an ecto body on it.

Have you tried to attach your go pro to your remote? I’m practicing my camera angles but it frees up a hand. Sticky mounts with a 6 inch extension works well and doesn’t fall of the remote.

Thank's for doing this comparison, understanding that both are modded as you stated 💯 as of now I don't have a tube chassis buggy style except a "HeLion Rock Rider" which I'm considering modding up to a Crawler/Bouncer for a project, the independent front suspension kinda worries about making it stand up to that kind of operation....any suggestions? ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing 👍😎👍 AOAH 🌟 RCF4L 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend

@teemuhieta-koivisto302 2 года назад
Like your videos. Thanks for that. I'm considering changing AR60 axles to my Gatekeeper to make it more stable. It's for U4 racing not for rock crawling. AR60 are wider than Capra axles. Do you think that they are too wide for Gatekeeper and make it's stance rediculous? Asking because you have watched you Gatekeeper in any possible angle :)
@Firewlkre
@Firewlkre 2 года назад
I watched this video right after watching your video with the 1to1 full size buggy and I couldn't help but notice how much better they grip and stay much more planted and seem to perform better than the 1/10 models.Not sure what the 1to1 buggys weigh but at 2000lb the 1/10 should weigh 200lbs for a true comparison,just sayin.
@RiceCrisp320
@RiceCrisp320 Год назад
When scaling(and I could be wrong) but I think it's an exponential difference in weight. If you're 1/10 the wheelbase then you are also 1/10 the height which would leave your weight being 1/100 of the real weight or 20lbs

I'd love to have a capra 4ws or not. But where i'm at in the North East I just don't think there is much technical rock crawling to do lol. Trails for days but nothing a solid scx10-ii can't handle!

@anthonysmalawipredators8794 2 года назад
@@westdesertwheeler2666 so basically if I drive about an hour north that's where my steep * rocky terrain are and could probably get good use up there. So maybe it would be that extra push to travel just a bit farther. More adventure I suppose lol. But yes that's funny i've had my eye on one of them TF2 kits aswell. I just love the Marlin story and a leaf sprung rig just sounds so cool!

I'm curious, how much less performance does the stock gatekeeper axles create? Would it even be worth having if compared to the Capra?or does the lack of portals make up the difference?

Stock Capra vs stock gatekeeper the Capra will definitely out perform it. I didn’t much care for the stock GK which is why I changed it.

When you say front links do you mean the steering links or suspension? High clearance suspension links are okay, They didn’t make a huge difference. A high clearance steering link can make a good improvement
