Default custom rc10gt rollcage

this is my rollcage for my rc10gt. my dad and i made it, it's made out of aluminum and threaded the ends. then made plates that hook on the shocktowers. the aluminum is very lightweight and absoarbs a lot of shock. tell me what you think

thats the sacrifice i had to make, no body, just rollcage, i can take off the rollcage by unscrewing 6 screws and it pops right off, atleast my engine will be very cooled.

theres no rc tracks or clubs where i live, unless i would drive for an hour, if i was going to race, i can just unscrew it and put on the body, thanks for asking!
