mc_hawkings24 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) Hi Yer thats the one didnt link it properly lol. I've seen new era ones but i'm not paying 50quid if you can find a cheaper one i'd be interested. 7quid cant go wrong i suppose or theres this one but not much support at the base http://www.rchopups.co.uk/item--T-Maxx-2-5...oll%28B%29.html Edited November 24, 2007 by mc_hawkings24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a V-Racing one on one of my Genesis and it's indestructable cos it's a full frame cage.Only trouble I can't put body low on the truck...

mc_hawkings24 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) I've seen some nasty pics of bent savages using those types of cages http://www.neweramodels.com/item.cgi?part_id=3156 But having worked out the costs + postage on the new era version its 34quid and thats the engine protection i'm after. Just sent off an email to them see what happens Edited November 25, 2007 by mc_hawkings24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoarp001 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Yeah, it was engine protection I wanted, and the 20 quid ebay one plus some tig welding did the job. The cage on my truck is pretty tough, i can stand on it and it dosnt even creak.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_hawkings24 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Didnt mean to sound negative just i've seen a few bent ones to put me off, i might think about it and i do have a mig welder to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoarp001 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I dont really see how you would bend this, its made of 5mm steel rod... you would have to fly at full pelt into a skip or something to even chip the chrome coating off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_hawkings24 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 New era didnt get back to so i bought that one in the link, its gpm of all things does the job its not over the engine though The heatsink doesnt protrude through the shell much and the bars keeping the shell in shape. Did some 8ft jumps and rolls today and its still ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
