Rovan cage vs. 5ive T cage

[Rep732]

Ouch im gunna say something is wrong there. There shouldn't be any swoops or curves my losi cage is all straight angles..this is a losi 2.0 cage

 

[Markcarr]

That's how my 2.0 is. This is a rcmax frame with a bunch of upgrades. The big flex body fits fine on that. The 2.0 body don't seem to line up

 

[Rep732]

I have the big flex body as well and I have no issues. Your front mounts should not look like that. I will say after a few whacks on the big flex it tweaked my cage take a good look and see if any part of the cage is not straight

 

[Markcarr]

Going to swap out the bent mount for the straight one. see if its better. On a side note i just ordered the 34cc obr and olimat pipe???

Thanks rep. My 1.0 mounts look exactly like your pictures, and I'm running a 2.0 cage and body.

 

[Markcarr]

Could they have used rovan or ebay mounts on this rig. I've looked at all the 5ive 1.0 and 2.0 at my track and nobody's are curvy like these are

 

[Rep732]

Im gunna go on a limb and say your truck hit the bumpers hard a few times.

 

[Markcarr]

Both sides of the mount are smoothly bent

 

[Rep732]

Still strange they should be flat

 

[Markcarr]

Just swapped it for the 2.0 i have

 

[Rep732]

Looks much better hows the cage fit now?

 

[Markcarr]

Big flex fits good. 2.0 body is a bit snug on the pins had a broken passenger side cage mount so i pulled the body panels off and found 3 bent screws. I'll replace them tommorow

 

[Rep732]

Glad to hear. I had a similar issue with my big flex and it ended up being a screw up by the roof of the body and it was tweaking the cage

 

[Markcarr]

I wonder if this is a 30N cage. Long ass screw up top and no bolt below. Gotta get a nut and bolt for bottom hole to losi bar

 

[Rep732]

On 30dnt cages its just screws no bolts/nuts. And its up to the original person to understand where each bolt goes. I put mine together and the directions suck and if you look at the back of the cage by the pullstart the 30dnt looks like a Y and the losi looks like and X

 

[Markcarr]

?yup i have a Y cage. Wrenching on these is still better then working on a kenworth ??

I know what you mean my job has petes,kenworth and international o yea and sprinkle a few hino's in there ?‍

Best advise i can give you is be super careful with the screws as they strip easy and use grease or chap stick as lube for the screws so they come back out ok otherwise your feked
