I was bored one evening and came up with this !!!!!

HSP monster truck 012.webp left click for larger image

HSP monster truck 006.webp ''note legg angles for T-MAXX''

HSP monster truck 010.webp

HSP monster truck 005.webp ''left legg points ''forward'' not ''inward''..''

nitro truck 007.webp ''fitts nicely under the body''

just incase nobody has put this on RCNT:first_place:
This is a RollBar I made myself for my T-MAXX
As you can see it's NOT HARD to build,just get a length of steel brake
line,bend it,to fit your truck/car. wrap around joints and braze for strength.Crimp the base leggs in a vice and bend,drill 2mm holes, mark chassie drill some more and bolt on.''EAZY PEAZY'':D
Saved my head a good few times . . .And saves you $$$$

lol sean, can imagine the ease of obtaining break line....Passed through Ireland, seem some of the rides there. Don't seem to use or need brakes too much;)

seriously, i like your handywork. Using what's available to you to make something useful is what this hobby is all about..well, now it's about buying a car at a good price and getting raked over the coals in pointless hop ups...but once it was about showing off your creativity and inginuity.
 
I wonder how easy it will be to crumple it though. Might want to give it a shot with 1/4" round bar. I think you can braze that as well.

Props for making something out of nothing! Looks like we may have another frankenmaxx on our hands!
