Roll Cages

[fuzzy2133]

Hey everyone I am going to make a custom roll cage for a MGT and I wanted to know what you all use on the rock crawlers. Need info like steel or aluminum, rod or tube, and what size. If any one can help thanks.

i havnt made any tube chassies but i hear they sometime use brake line to make the chassies...so i would try that if anything else

tube chassis are cool...what crawler do you have? the axial? if so then you dont have to do squat... jus buy the TCS edge chassis and its a tube bolt on to your stock chassis

it will be going onto a custom bashing Monster GT chassis the truck weight will be close to 11 lbs. I was hoping to see what people run on their rock crawlers so I have an idea for what is used and what I should get to build with.

Brake tubing, Chromoly tubing, solid steel.

MIG welder, MAPP torch, Harris Safty-silv brazing alloy.
