Go to www.rccrawler.com, and look at some of the tubular chassis. There is also a step by step on how to sauter steel tubing, all you'd need to do is design it and come up with points to mount it on your chassis. The other this to remember is aluminum is VERY hard to work with, I would reccomend making one out of steel tubing.

i know aluminium(or aluminum if you are american) is hard to work so i am thinking of having 2 strips of steel flatbar bent into shape then weld round bar to it to give strength. its a tvp chassis so the flatbar will simply bolt on. i am going to design another cage on my cad software and make that when i have time. the plan is to get good and start selling them for a bit of pocket money:D
