Here's a pic with the lid on, as you can see you need to trim some of the bed area, but it is very simple to do.

Depending on what aluminum parts you have, that could actually be the problem. For cages, check out RC Raven or New ERA.

I have this simpe one from Full Force RC. It may not look like much, but works well!!!! protects the head, body, and takes the brunt of almost any flip. And the best part is it does not need to be removed everytime you work on your truck!!!!

new era 3pt. you sill have room to even pull the tranny without removing it and its tough as nails.

rc raven, its a good cage that requires no trimming for the stock body and most other truck bodies. good duribilty and looks pretty realistic. it has taken many big hits and has not bent. here are a couple pics...

I use to make all kinds of cages, I kept this one just for display.. I use to make a V shaped hitch on the rear, with a chrome hitch attatched to it for pulling...

My Feedback: (2)

I have a cage I bought off of an ebay seller that looks nearly identical to the RCraven one pictured above. The one I have is made of steel and tough as nails. Unfortunately it is also really really heavy. Once I started going to the track on occassion, I decided I had to drop the weight. I was putting it on for hardcore bashing when I would go to the asphalt dump, but got tired of messing with it and just decided to make my own. Made a 4 point cage to protect the engine, pipe and air filter out of aluminum rod from Lowes. Some aluminum rod, a torch, a pair of pliers, a drill and some hex nuts and bolts and now I have a nice really light aluminum roll cage protecting the valuables. Unlike the steel, it does bend a bit in a hard crash, but I usually just hit it with the torch and straighten it back out when I get home.

the one above painted blue and white I made myself..... they are awsome for serious bashing, not for playing in the dirt doing small jumps...

here is another one I made, I keep this one on all the time, easy to pickup, most of the time when it flps it will roll back on all 4's, very light weight and protects it all, without the added noticible weight never did paint it though..

tmaxx, that was a really cool looking cage, your simplified version looks like it should work pretty well.

tmaxxtime

THANKS, it works very well.. easy to pickup and carry, very sturdy.. I had many crashes, it's always saved me... I haven't used this it a while, I got new parts for it, just hadn't installed them yet, still working on another one

Should I post more links to prove my point. Next time don't get so offensive when someone tries to give advice. I just told him where he could get a rollcage that looked like yours.

I too have the Full force roll bar on my truck, and works perfectly. Simple, easy and you can still get to everything around it. I paid $8 plus shipping from Full Force

were is the full force site im interested in those ????

A simple rollbar I find to be efficient, mine has saved me many new bodies, the shock goes strait to the chassis insead of cracking the lexan.

See my above post!

hi guys,
thought i would let you know. if you had different idea on some type of a cage you want
made, let me know, possibly a trailler to tow another one........ or any futre plans let me know, I got some freetime now and then,

smaxx3.3

if you are using a glow starter DO NOT GET THE RC SOULOTIONS CAGE. the cage goes right over the top of the motor, good for protection but you can't get the igniter in to the head. if using ez-start you should be fine.
