    Roll cage

    Im wanting a roll cage for my e revo since I like to bash but itll also need to fit under a proline slipstream body I was thinking one of the newer integy steel rollcages. Are there any that will work good and fit under the body?

    Look here at my post. I have an RC Solutions roll cage fitted to my Erevo. Not sure what the Integy one looks like but this one is pretty good and fits snug under the E-revo body. No modififcations needed. This may work for you.

    I just ordered an Rc Solutions cage, on ebay a seller called Spotswerth has them for $100. free shipping. thats what i just paid.

    From what ive read the rc solutions cage is a beast, and i think it looks better then the round tubed cages ive seen.

    I don't know how hard you bash, but you may want to try the chassis brace mods first.

    They are pretty effective and a whole lot cheaper.

    I have the standard progaphix body...no mods necessary. I had to lift the mounting post up one hole front and rear for the body to sit on the roll cage.

    I have them for my sl4sh and my erbe. Haven't installed it on my erbe yet just waiting for some parts to get here for my lst drive shaft conversion. I also bought mine from ebay from a seller named spotswerth, 100 bucks and free shipping.

    And contrary to what I've heard a lot of people say, you can definitely fit the Traxxas wheelie bar with the RC solutions rollcage, if you just use some slightly longer M3 screws (I used 2 x35mm and 2 x 15mm M3s respectively, although 40mm instead of 35mm are prob better) and a bunch of M3 washers.

    Great rollcage, stiffens up the entire chassis and strong enough for me to stand on it.
