RE: roll cage
 
that is cool. The only problem I could see would be getting one for each vehicle. I know that if you were to do that, that I would have to buy one for both my cars.

taylor152806 02-25-2008 10:39 PM

RE: roll cage
 
that means i would need to buy more cars:D:D:D

RE: roll cage
 
true. I think I am done buying cars for a little while. I am sure to have plenty of fun with the 2 I have. Keep us updated on the roll cages though. I think they could definitely sell if you get them done.

will it save your body???. what else will it protect if you have your body on. on my tornado, if iroll it the fin and shock mounts keep the engine and stuff from hitting the ground

webbl19 02-26-2008 12:44 AM

RE: roll cage
 
a cage would be more durable then just a bar. you can make the cage go up over the shock towers and all that stuff that way if you land funky it will hit the cage and not the part.

webbl19 02-26-2008 12:45 AM

RE: roll cage
 
you make the cage so it will fit under the body unless you just want to ride with just the cage, i think they look pretty neat with the cage only.

It just makes it stronger.

RE: roll cage
 
umm ill look into that. luckly just got a fancy new spool gun for the welder. makes it so i can weld aluminem:D:D

RE: roll cage
 
or your could somehow make it so that cage is outside the body, so your body will always be purty
