bl revo with rollcage - 11.13.2007, 08:50 PM

i was thinking of getting the rc-solution rollcage for my revo. its a 2.5 revo with the rc-monster motor mount and 9xl. i was just wondering if it would all fit or would the motor hit against the cage. thanks

here is a pic of what the rollcage looks like



thanks

I asked this question once and was turned away quickly from buying one. As many times as we fix our RC's a roll cage just gets in the way. You have to take it off and on every time you work on it. I decided against it but upgraded the body to a new proline. Its alot better than the OEM body.

I think a sheet of CF or an aluminum angle would be more helpful.

if this deforms badly, it cuts right through the polymer bag.

I'm with Serum. If you think you need that much protection just use aluminum angle for the battery tray. A Proline body is really tough though, practicaly a rollcage by itself!

I have no broken any many parts as I did since I got the new proline top. Tuff as nails.

i had one of these in on revo it increased the weight alot and i started having problems with shock shafts braking , and also it was a hasle to work around when working on the truck. Now it sits in my grave yard pile of things.
a Tuff body, wing and stock rollbar should be enough
