The cage was made out of a 3/4"x1/8" aluminum angular bars. The joints were fastened with a gusset plate (also made of 1/8" alum plate) by a metal screw.

Yup, wish I could but I don't have much time for this hobby at this moment. I have a 2-yr old son that needs most of my time, I'm already fine with my little time doing this hobby. At least I have a variation of time from work and family to my hobby.

looks good but becareful with that body my dad put one on his put a tough paint job on it and two times on its lid the bed seperated from the cab, bad part was it was suppose to be better than the stock body.

Thanks for making me aware of it, hope it will not happen to mine because I consider this body to be much more better and stronger than the stock one.


I hope that what happen to your dad's before was just a manufacturing defect.

not sure but i did notice that the bodies are a little thinner than the redcat bodies, i myself like the redcat ones just because they are thick, it helps bounce them back on there wheels,lol.

Yeah, I notice that too. But MCD body as I noticed is more flexible than the stock one which is a kind of brittle material. My old stock body cracked the whole bed and broke the front part of it when I hit the gutter slightly while making a turn.
