new tt roll cage

[Ron E]

heres a 3/8" 6061 aluminum roll cage shock tower brace my cousin just made for me.














it is very strong and light, really took the flex out of the chassis...


and the price was right... free.

Good job man......I love free....

Great work there. It will definitley stiffen teh chassis and help with broken parts.

thanks guys... I really like this buggy. just got to get a steering servo mount for my hitec hs-5745mg, kill switch and install my new radio and it's set. now to put the mt project truck together. I bought it new in 08, never ran it and took it apart and started collecting parts. now I have everything... almost. build pictures comming.

[Ron E]

home built right?

yes it is, my cousin troy is a welder by trade but also great fabricator... he's built custom aluminum subframes and gas tanks for factory motorcycle race teams... way back he and I raced 1/10 off road, so he likes rc's. but he's so dang busy getting him with a free moment is tough so I try to bribe him... I just gave him a new traxxas stampede I had for him to bash with, now a cage for the mt...

yes do both front and rear, very important mod for strength.


holes in gear cover for cooling the plastic gears, I have not converted to steel gears yet and have had no issues.


if you build a track i'll make the drive a few times this summer, that would be great. we come to st louis for the supercross every year also.
