My local hobby shop has the orange version and it performs fairly well on their indoor comp crawler course which really surprised me as it looks like it it was more built for trail use. The only upgrade they did was wheels and tires. I looked at the gatekeeper many times but still unsure on it until I see 1 in person,lol

I still think my TRX-4 Defender is the best trail truck if not crawler. Watch my contents in my channel. It's my fav RC truck, I don't need to go bashing or extreme rock crawling but I can take it on any trips I go to. It has a very solid platform very good chassis if not the best. Great turning radius, great suspension, excellent 2 speed tranny put it on high gear unlock diffs on flat trails it's great! I know someday Traxxas needs a new version or update of the TRX-4 and Sport. Put like great electronics and servo on it like what Redcat did with the Gen 8 Axe edition, and maybe even an IFS version like this Enduro. I love my TRX-4 and Summit great trucks great innovation but there are other great brands too. Win for all RC owners.
