Any one use a roll cage for their Revo?

Two words: fuel cell.

A roll cage is nice because it helps protect the internals from a bad driver, but it sure makes working on your truck a PITA. And since the roll cage is metal and doesn't "give", and force exerted on it can potentially break whatever it is mounted to. I've had good luck with retaining the carry handle thingy - that and the Techno wing helps protect it quite well, and it light.

BTW Squee: you need to update your avatar! Now would be a good time to use that dancing kid one again. I always got a kick out of it!

Well I defiantly don't want the RC Solutions roll cage. Here is what I am thinking about:

They are made simple and light weight. 3\16 bar is not hard to bend back into shape is it takes a hard bash or crash. I can play with the set up. I can change the cage if I need to. I probably could build my own but I don't have that kind of time for a few months. $25 is not alot to spend to try it. Still thinking about.

No not a fuel cell, we do make the plates for fuel cells at work. Too big for this guy though.

The BEC lives in the fuel tank. I was going to have it so that you open the fuel lid to plug in the battery. Just like they do on plug in cars. It's just for a bit of humor.
