Thinking about Roll cage??

[dnrcustoms]

Hey guys, thinking about getting a roll cage to protect my revo a bit. I found a rc solutions kit on e-bay for 60 bones.. Wondering if anybody has a few pics of one installed on their truck. Also, will it make the chasis more rigid which will brake stuff. Right now I heavily bash my truck and have minimal carnage, so I would like to keep the same strength just add protection.. thanks

Also, what are the downsides to the cage?

The only downsides IMO, are added weight and more hassle to work on the truck.

Anywhere I can find a few pics of one on a truck?? Really the only work I ever do on mine is clean the air filter. Looking to upgrade that to a bigger one if i can find one,

i would like to know if you can use a body with a cage.

i have a cage on my revo and i like it. I had to raise the body posts all the way up and do a little cutting to get the body to fit but its cool. It is harder to work on the truck though.

I've tried a couple roll cages and the only one that really protected the truck at all was the ones made by new era.

I was too lazy a couple of days ago to snap the pics but here they are. It is the RC solutions Cage on my Revo 2.5 chassis w/ a 3.3 in it. The cage has been on a year and spent many hours in the skate park and BMX track without significant breakage so I have no complaints. The last pic is a piece of extra chassis that I reinforced the underside of the motor mount to avoid any bending, I have landed that thing on its roof 20ft off the lip of a bowl without breaking.
