Is it? What kind of design and materials could be strong enough to prevent warping with a 30lb truck rolling at 40mph while keeping it at a reasonable weight?That is is highly dependent on cage design, and material used.

Anddddddd it’s bentLol idk mabe titanium ? ?
Putting a 1000-1590 pound cage on a rock crawler isn’t a big deal, but would you want to put even a 10 pound cage on a losi?10mm tube, or 3/8 dom are perfect. Extremely strong if cage is braced correctly and designed right. You wont crinkle one from a good wreck
Same concept would apply to rock crawlers, buggies, drag cars etc then if you were right. But they all use cages to protect the person inside. It all falls down to design and materials
So what, is @Haric gonna make one?You can get titanium and chromolly dom tubing very small. And yes design will play a part in it. It doesn't have to be extremely heavy. Think outside the box for a change. The cage on my savage xl added all of a pound, and saved everything but the body on rollovers. These are just a bit bigger rc cars.
I am but for my vekta?So what, is @Haric gonna make one?
You mean like this one? Definitely isnt 10lbs and is very strong. I'd guess 6-7 lbs.
