Great video, i am building mine with your video as manual and stopped where you stopped. Patiently waiting for next video :)

[@RevolutionX]

Awesome, thank you! I'll upload the rest soon! There are some errors in the manual as far as screw sizes go in the shock/trailing arm section and the cage section. I will make sure I point those out!

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Also I saw on Harley SNU they are offering the panhard mount seperate... GO GO GO!!!!

[@RevolutionX]

Yes they are, but you need to be aware of a few things. First, if you have the prior Enduros before the Gatekeeper, you will need to drill 2 holes in the frame rail for the new panhard mount. The servo mount also needs to be replaced with the new version to accommodate M3 nuts for the new panhard mount... or you could tap holes into the side of the older servo mount and screw thread into it. Another important thing that I didn't mention in this video, but I will try to remember in the next is that the Gatekeeper frame rails has a small notch cut out for the servo horn to clear if you raise the servo to use the highest panhard setting. The older Enduro frame rails do not have this.

@@RevolutionX keeping these notes next to the bench. Thanks!!! I have no problem making a couple holes in the name of improvement!

It looks like something familiar at this point 👍😉

I just finished everything besides the cage on mine and the only mistake I came across is the lower shock bolts they say it's a 14mm for all 4 lower mounting but its actually only the front that uses the 14mm the rear are like 22mm but in the manual it says all 4 are 14 lol. Also measuring the links is not necessary all you have to do is look at how many of a certain size they have match them up and line them up shortest to longest it's easy and the only link that gets straight ends is the steering link. Other than that it was a super easy build, the cage looks kind crazy though.

[@RevolutionX]

Awesome that's good info. Measuring the links is for after you put the links together to make sure that they are the correct length with the rod-ends on. That's what I wish they would have done 1:1 in the manual for those that don't have a measuring caliper.

[@stpbasss3773]

@@RevolutionX yah I agree I was trying to match them up with the picture at first lmao. All the rod ends are the same length, the shorty ones are for the shocks, I could be wrong though and have my ends all wrong 🤣.

[@RevolutionX]

@@stpbasss3773 No you are right... shorty for the shocks... and staight for the steering link behind the axle.

[@yohantjahajadi425]

Cool build... Does the hard chassis part of the gatekeeper can be used to upgrade the enduro builder's kit?

[@RevolutionX]

Yes it can. The parts will work.

[@rcjoe406]

What size pinion should I use with a 540 brushed 13t

[@RevolutionX]

Depends on how you want it to run. Just go with stock which I think is 18t. See if you like it and then either gear down if you want more control. For the Gatekeeper I actually went to 19t because I wanted a little more speed with the Axe system. On my other Enduros I went down to 16t running brushed motors and some have even gone down to 14t I think.

[@rcjoe406]

@@RevolutionX cool I'll start with 18t...I did a 11t on the capra major difference.. see if the gate needs the same ...16t might be the sweet spot..
