Any one no for sure what type of plastic these companies are using for the rollcages?

It here have been a few guys on the forum make them. Maybe one of them will chime in. I've never heard how well they lasted.rampage idiot said:I know I was looking on on-line metals.com they have a bunch and they don't even know what the best would be, I am thinking of messing around and make a custom plastic cage just to see what I can come up with
Sounds interesting.cherryride said:I'm making one out of abs plastic and then wrapping with carbon fiber.I used abs welding rod to pin the joints instead of screws and used abs cement to fill any gaps.
i have afew pictures in my album MT Mod
i think it will be lighter this way and pretty strong with the abs center.Nowheretogojs said:That is a sweet ride there.... Looks good even with the MT wheels and tires. Why didnt you just use carbon rod for the cage?

I think that'd probably just shatter if he landed lid first.Nowheretogojs said:That is a sweet ride there.... Looks good even with the MT wheels and tires. Why didnt you just use carbon rod for the cage?
no but he is always on my mind! lolcaveman said:Nice pics need updates when done. Oh does cartman hang around during your build ?
A lot of guys have made cages out of Delrin for 1/8 scales and some for 1/5...Google around a bit and you should find a bunch of ideas... have rolled my MT many times and still haven't cracked the stock plastic one so I think a Delrin one would work fantastic. A while back I found lots of info on others that have made them, but never got around to actually ordering any and making one. Maybe now that I have a real work area again...rampage idiot said:I know I was looking on on-line metals.com they have a bunch and they don't even know what the best would be, I am thinking of messing around and make a custom plastic cage just to see what I can come up with
