cheers all for the comments
it does have a few minor probs like the tube that covers the 4th bolt hole on the pullstart and the front A arms hit the cage on hard landings but thats all to be addressed on the next cage.another change i want to make to the next cage is to a have a 6 point X brace in the roof rather than the current 4 point V brace.......this is purely to add a touch more strength for those nasty roof landings:D

also the alloy panels will be getting swapped for lexan panels,they will be getting a little funky too with possibly some vents down the sides and maybe a bonnet bulge of some sort to make it look really mean:D
and i really need to sort out the nose too..............aaaaahhh the list goes on lol


stay tuned
 
uh??
i don't need any inspiration i got enough of my own lol
the only problem i have is doing things 1/5 scale & not 1/1:D

How about making your next cage quick release...

i can see why some cages are made to be quick release but iv designed it so i can work on pretty much everything with the cage in situe.so far the only thing iv found i cant do is remove the tank........i can live with that:celebrate:
also & i think timmahh may agree with me on this 1-when useing 12 mounting points to mount the cage it has a SOLID feel to it as everything is all tied in together-shock mounts,engine braces,chassis & front kick up,its all 1 solid unit.

iv taken this cage off 30ft clifts on more than 1 occasion & the dam thing still comes back for more.:D

yes i do. the SB cage i run is 12 point mounted. i can literally stand on any part of the cage, and the buggy reacts as one unit. Love the added planted feeling i get with the added weight. I did some shifting of weight prior to the cage, and now with it on, think i may of taken to much weight out of the rear as the front is even more plated. i may re address this a bit and try to better balance the weight between front and rear.
 
out of curiosity timmahh wheres your C of G at?
mines 3.5 inches forward of the sparkplug.
 
cheers mate:D:D:D:D
wait till i get a 668 on it then it'll really go some.im currently running a 813 as my old 668 craped out on me.the 813's a good carb just not really suited to the larger engines.the performance is good but throttle response is totally poop.
 
sounds and Looks great Vandal. Excellent job on the cage.

ya its ripping damn well too!
