Rollcages

[gregs78cam]

How many members have looked into buying, or have bought a rollcage, and what are your experiences with them? I am only asking because I have been working on one of my own, and have been wondering if there might be people interested in something better than what is currently on the market? Something that say..... fits stock body, mounts direct to chassis, integrated bumpers, stronger than both the current aluminum and steel 'cages on the market, will never rust and only weighs around 5-7 ounces? Anywho just curious. Give me some input.

I have had 2 RC Solutions roll cages (LST and Maxx) which in my opinion are the best on the market. When used properly they can really take the abuse.

Do you have a pic or drawing of what you have to offer?

I'm guessing it is a Delrin based cage or some type of high impact plastic or something like that? If not... Drawing? I will stand by (and on) my RCS cage (more to come) for ever. I don't know how you can get better than they have to offer.

right now it is just a rollbar, I have to finish it. It is .270" dia. Grade 5 Titanium, though the rest will probably only be .1875", It is way over kill, but it works great, although it caught some large rocks when I went inverted this summer and it snapped the two bolts clean off, not even a scratch on the bar, literally. Haven't driven it since........LIFE happens. So it needs more lateral bracing - thus a 'cage. I have most of the details worked out in AutoCAD, just need time to work on it. And Yes it will support a grown person, initial load figures look like 250-300lbs

how much does the RCS 'cage weigh?

i just finished making a couple cages for my truck. they have mangaed to take a 15 foot drop on its top and still managed to roll over and work without any bending or breakage.

New Era, Havent had a chance to really test it.
