Plastic rollcage

[krashkrieg]

no but he is always on my mind! lol

LOL...that's the sweetest Cartman pic I've ever seen...

Really nice work on your cage...

 

[Deluge]

Nice pics need updates when done. Oh does cartman hang around during your build ?

Lol! Awesome.

A lot of guys have made cages out of Delrin for 1/8 scales and some for 1/5...Google around a bit and you should find a bunch of ideas... have rolled my MT many times and still haven't cracked the stock plastic one so I think a Delrin one would work fantastic. A while back I found lots of info on others that have made them, but never got around to actually ordering any and making one. Maybe now that I have a real work area again...

Very true. The stock cage is really durable.

I wish it had more braces and supported the body. The concept of the 5ive cage is awesome. The Team Chase cage is pretty sweet also. Have you ever thought about one for your 5t Deluge?

On the MT I have the HBZ Hoop. Tightens things up quite a bit.

Here's one on a TT...



For the TC cage, I'd have to remove some cross supports. My pipe will hit it.

I guess I didn't know those were still available. That is a nice part.

That is a really nice piece I emailed HBZ to see if they still make it, I do not see it on there website so probably not

Where do you get this plastic rod you guys speak of? I've been messing around with plastic cloths hangers to modify the stock cage. Has a good amount of flex but snaps when flexed to much. Its the same diameter as the stock cage too. I just don't want to put in work to make it look good just to have it explode on the first roll over...

They carry delrin and nylon too.

How is this done since I have not worked with plastic before? What would be the best way to put it together? Weld, glue or screws? This is interesting to me and there is a grainger about 30 min from my house

They're not. I snagged one when LSRC had them on clearance.

Negative. Which is a bummer, cause it really helps.
