I have the same problem too. I have a savage XL brand new and it came with a roll cage which is supposed to be mounted between the read shock tower and the strut un front of the engine.

The thing is that the roll cage is just too short, it will not reach the rear shock tower. My best guess would be that this part is actually a Savage X part and since the XL is longer...


What can be done in this case?


Thank you,
Red

Status: offline 		The reason the engine guard (which doesn't fit) was included with the XL is because its on the same sprue tree as the roll bar/handle. Quite negligent of HPI really.

The best work around for this I have seen is in this thread:
LST Killer
Its the eighth picture in the first post.

Though I haven't heard since regarding how this custom basher has coped so far. I suspect quite well.

Status: offline 		Id Imagine cut to form, drill mounting holes, and possibly attach to stock roll bar so you have a base. You could also just make a circle with it for height, zip tie it to the stock top of the head protector, and zip tie to the rear shock tower. In reality that outcome would be easier then making one scratch and serve the same exact purpose. I might change mine up and do similar because if the force is great enough, the head is getting scratched anyway with the stock one. Needs another half inch of height.

Status: offline 		those look pretty thick...how flexible r they? anyway, I'd say get you a little short piece of plastic and place it behind the shock towers, bring your roll cage mount down to the shock towers, bring 'em through the holes it and mount 'em to the plate...

You can get IMUN80 cage mounting brackets for the same rods off Ebay.
