nice work, it's good to see people creating and building their own ideas. i built one for my rampage TT cos you can't buy one and they'd be $400+ anyhow. More and more folks seem to be getting into the fab part of the hobby.

here's mine with a 5b dom I cut up to fit , 4130 tubing... run this one without a body...just gonna mount up a rear wing and make a front bumper
now started working on one for my MT to fit under the desert rat/asgard bodies

We made them so we would have access to every bolt, nut and all the hing pins.
I have removed the fuel tank, radio box, and motor without removing the cage..
I only removed it to paint it this weekend and its been on for a few months.
