nitromotorhead Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 What do you guys think of the RC Solutions roll cage? I’m thinking about buying one, I think they are the best available at the moment. I know they will protect the truck in most circumstances, but what about some seriously bad landings on the roof, the roll cage will survive but what about the mounting points on the savage, has anybody got first hand experience of them?

nitromotorhead Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 Yes they are very expensive, that’s why I made this post, after all my intentions are to bash with it on, my savage ant no shelf queen LOL. If they are no good, then I simply won’t buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitromotorhead Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi Hoss! You’ve got some mighty fine looking trucks there! That’s good to know your cage is OK. And has survived some grief I was wondering if anyone was using one. The photos that waz posted have scarred me off the idea at the moment, however, they do look like damage coursed by crashing into a wall/tree, rather than landing on its roof.

sp-maxx basher Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 i did a bit of research..i dont call it homework..i hate the word! but infact id pay 100 quid for a roll cage than have to speand 80 quid on a engine and have to go thru the pains of running it in and if the cage does break it will have crumpled and can either bend back or u can remove it and get on wif yer bashing...i dont like to waste time especially when u have a bash party and been waiting weeks then finally after a tank of fuel find your engines screwed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
