I was bored. so I bought a tamx factory second cage on ebay for 26 bucks and made this.

That's really cool, but doesn't the pipe blow all sorts of nasty oil all over your rear end?

i put a right angle silcone extension on it . guess that was after the pictures.
What do you think this would sell for on ebay with the bigblock conversion and the hand made cage?
I was at myLHS yesterday and that MGT looks awful interesting.

thats pretty tite. you could probably make a god buck off that. i dont know what that kind of rc usually sells for though. but that looks pretty strong.

I for one am glad to see someone with this truck on this board. It looks like some maxx parts would fit it no problems. Nice work with the cage man. It looks sweet. I will bet it's hella tough now.

thanks all, I'm thinking about upgrading the engine in it. that hot bodies .21 is kind of wimpy for a BB. But why buy anything new except a pico/wasp .26? but a pico .26 in a truck that is at least 5 pounds lighter than a 1/8 MT likt MGT or savage might just be a handful. The plastic 2 speed might just croak!

Hmmm that might be kinda sick. I'd love to see some vids of that thing go. The picco makes my savage wheelie all day. I would love to see what it does to your truck.

The cage made from steel?

 

[auto2]

yes unfortunatlly it's made from steel. But the CEN only weighs 7 or so pounds stock so it's still way lighter than any other MT,

I used a mig welder and a gas torch.
to weld aluminum I have to get a liner kit for the welder. And I've never had much luck using it.
but for a bashmobile who caares.
