Team Chase Cage - Side windows

[Speedloader]

Hello,

Almost finished with my build. Just missing to make front and rear window in plexiglas.
Does any of you have an idea where it's possible to find a net for the side windows?

You could go to a home improvement store and pickup some aluminum mesh and use that

Yup. They have nylon window screen also.

I'd leave the wind shield out? put one in will only make the motor run hotter ??

He's talking about a mesh, wont effect the temps

^ this... leave both front and the rear windows out. You need air flow going through to keep engine temps down

Oh yeah, read that wrong ?‍ well then in that case, don't put the plexiglass

Thanks you all for your oppinions.
If putting a front and rear screen is a bad ideal, id leave the sides open as well.
I was just thinking that if 5t or 5sc body was put over Team Chase, it would be closed as well. So didnt think it would affect the temps to go at a critical level. But that would apply for a standard engine only i guess. (My engine isnt standard)

Your engine is fan cooled it should be a major problem if you stuff the wind shield in and leave the sides and back open. If your worried about junk getting in (and want max cooling air) you can try to source some clear or silver mesh for the front and rear as well. Would keep the crap out but let air in.

 

[Speedloader]

I just leave all windows open for maximum cooling.

I really like the panels ?

I have been looking to do some panels for my team chase cage.

How did you attach the panels to the cage?

+1, I'm curious. I'd really like to do panels exactly how you did it at some point but I have no idea how to attach em.

Simple. With very small self tapping screws.

 

[AnubisBC]

I like it. Very clean aesthetic, and it should hold up unless you flip your car into a stump or something. Good thinking!

 

[Speedloader]

Im most likely making some more fixing points just to make sure its fixed in case of a crash

 

[Z.hb71]

I took inspiration from u and decided to make me some panels for my raggedy ass baja, the cuts aren't as nice as urs but here they are we
I forgot to make a roof panel but it's the idea

@Speedloader what pipe are you running in that cage? I'm looking to put a cage on, but my current pipe is the old Jetrpo 5t pipe that wraps around the car under the body, so I'm looking at other options.

What material did you use? I used 1.2mm aluminium plate.
Are you also making panels for the front sides?

I used just some white plastic. I will be replacing it with carbon fiber or lexan shortly but it will have to do for now. And no I didn't make panels for the front cuz I ran Out of meterial
