Roll Cage Material - Nylon?? - 01.26.2011, 03:02 PM

I am looking for advice on what is the best material to make a Roll-Cage out of; similar to the baja 5b uses. I want to keep it plastic for weight and ease of cutting and shaping.

I was thinking of 3/8" Grey Nylatron GS from US Plastics: Molybdenum Disulphide filled Nylon offering improved strength and rigidity over Nylon 101. I would opt for the GS over the 101 only based on color, The GS is Grey/Black while the 101 is white... So my question comes down to this: Is Nylon a good candidate for something like a roll cage for R/C ? Any insight on this is greatly appreciated.
