Default Rollcage?

Hi all!

This is a forum based on opinion I believe so I hope not to offend, but I think it looks like a shopping basket dumped on top of the Biggest, Fastest and Badest monster truck ever! The NE roll bar does exactly the same job and looks the Danglies!!! You can also get at the truck alot better by the looks of it as well without having to take the cage off!

I agree with Billup on this one, The NE bar gives adequate protection and makes it possible to actually wrench on the truck without removing the bar, we all know how often we need to strip down, even for basic cleaning, that bar looks prety and im sure its plenty strong, but what a nightmare to work on!

I have a RC Solutions roll cage available, still in the plastic. Anyone with a reasonable offer can have it. It retails for $150.

the NE rollbar will fit under the CP2 only if you have the body very high up (ie using losi extra long body mounts).

personally thats way too high, so ive cut my body away to allow the roll bar to stick through.
