Casey made them but if you make one......It is made out of derlin and you heat it up to bend it. Simple enough, but you need the brackets to mount it Casey made those as well but not anymore. You will need to find a way to mount it. Making the cage shouldn't be hard though.

The best one's ive seen where make buy Casy (Twisted Toys), but his you had to run at least a 1 inch ext tvp .5 front .5 rear. use a heat gun to bend it. here is a link to his site, its still up ,but as fare as i know he is not making savage parts anymore. http://www.twisted-toys.net/
that will give you an idea on how to make 1.

Oh I see have you thought about using brake tubing or do you want the plastic? Tubing you can braze together and I think it would be easier to mount.

Is your heart set on plastic? or are you open to other materials.

yeah...makes me wonder what he would have charged me for the carbon fiber...LOL
and yes, brake tubing wouldn't stand up to any sort of bashing...

Your not just paying for the raw materials, your also paying for the mounting brackets (which he welds), the skill, the time and the fact he knows what he's doing.
But by all means, do it yourself and post up some pics 😀

not so fast dear boy...you'd need a spring or summit to insert into the tube to allow it to hold it's shape, else it will fold, instead of bending. rod would be cool, but wieghs more....let us know how you go, ro.

i pay 3.10$ a foot for my delrin...and even still at 150$...I'm tempted to say No to 99% of people...cuz IMO 150 Isnt enuff...for the quality..and the sheer fact it takes HOURS to make 1 single cage.....and cosmetics play a HUGE factor aswell...ANY 1 can MELT a delrin tube and bend it....its will u WARP it and actually MELT and rod and make it loook freeekin FUGLY....cuz ive seeen quite a few try..with HORRIBLE cosmetically FUUGLY cages....Sure it works...but 75% of this game is How it looks...Basher or Not.

Looks like they have seen it before, but for those who haven't.
