Does anyone use the rollcage only 2.0

[5th Scales Sucky]

I just bought the 5ive T. I can not stand the wheels and hate the body, I have purchased the orange version. I am going to put flourscent yellow wneels and wide street tires.

I was wondering, if anyfolks use the custom panels. If not, I will just get to ,30 north, rollcage andcall it a day.

I am surprised Proline doesn't have wheels, tires and bodies for the 5ive T or 2.0. Would be nice to have Trenchers or Badlands for my 2.0.

Those Trenchers are for the 5ive B fronts tough. I remember they had Trenchers pre mounted to some nice Proline wheels for the HPI 5T and Losi 5T back in the day.

Those Trenchers are the exact same size as the tires on your 5ive-T 2.0 They're originally for the HPI Baja 5T front. TLR decided to go with that size for their 5ive-T as well. The HPI Baja 5T rear is slightly wider, hence the differentiator of "Front". They used to come mounted on Split Six wheels back in the day, but I think most folks opted to just buy the tires and mount them on the stockers. Split Sixes had some issues.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up.
As to the body, I had a thought. What about removing the Short course body from the cage and making your own body panels with lexan? you could paint the inward facing whatever color you want or wrap the panels.
I bet with some modifications to the cage you could make it look like a Kraken rig.

Go for it! We love custom builds around here!

I'm running 5t rear size on my dbxl this time around. Ebay is hit and miss for sizes I just grabbed what I could find.

That won't work on a 5T, it's for baja style rigs.

This should work. I did contact them.
What do you think. Should I put on the fluorescent yellow and the original tires. Its more concave. Maybe, I will try one.

 

[Seandonato73]

Make sure the offset isnt too far back, may rub your tie rod ends.

Thats if I can I can get the wheels off. The wheel nuts is on their so tight

You need a 24mm socket and a 1/2" wrench. Any auto store can sort you out for around $15.

Fluorescent yellow. LOSI BRANDED
I want the rear to be a bit highr. That screw is maxxed out
