i have an rc solutions cage on order for my MAXX...and i am concerned that it may not clear the mutant head i have on the stock trx 2.5...

does anyone know if it should work out ok?
 
is the mutant head taller then the stock head if it is not then u will be fine
 
the mutant head is quite a bit taller than the stock head, as it is also larger around....

umm...heres a pic to show its size...

if necessary...could i take a dremel to the head (bad idea) or to the cage itself (worse idea)

i AM NOT about to cut anything..dont worry.. ;) :P



well...after seeing pics like this...id be surprised if it doesn't fit...

It should fit.. If you want to measure how much taller your head is I will measure how much room is left with the RCS cage.

Man I need to finish cleaning that thing up and post some better pics
 
ok...lemme see real quick...


its about a good 3/4 maybe almost an inch,....its hard to tell without a direct comparison...i can remove the RPM head protector though....the roll cage should take care of that part i would assume... :)
 
Uploading a few pic's for ya now... It looks like It might be a close fit.

Hope these help

oh yeah...!! it should fit nicely in there...with about a couple mm to spare... :)


i think the heads about 3/4 inches taller than stock without a head protector...
 
my mutant head is 13/16 taller then my stock head...you will have plenty room
 
its a "s" i used the character map in windows xp the path is...start>all programs>accessories>system tools>character map...you make your name how you want it then copy and paste
