my new bodys

[awya14]

and the Rc solutions rool cage..does it work?? ..not really ..landed hard on the rear and it jammed against the shocks!

I'm assuming that the blue one is the new one right? Also why are you antenae tubes bent forward. I am guessing to help not lose it because of a wheely gone bad.

 

[awya14]

its weird ..they just do that. I put a bike spoke in thick 1 to try reiforce it
..they are both new ..well the blue 1 is really new ..I bust alot of bodies so I some times buy used 1's from a shop ..$10-15
the savage body's $55!

You must go over backwards alot then. I run my antenna under the body. Doesnt seem to hurt range or reception at all, and I'm running an am system. It looks better and is alot safer the the antennae.

don't really loop out ..just bash hard every session!..roll /flip / tumble..with the rc raven cage I'm hopein to protect the body from impact, I made these lil engine protectors as well outa aluminium..works good so far.

 

[CrawlinClodKiller]

Like those protectors, that is a good simple idea. I may have to do somthing like that too. I will give credit of course. Also where did you get that cage from.

 

[awya14]

its so easy to make em..I get the aluminum from a hardware store (for free)
3' by 1" cut a 6" peice ..bend it, drill a couple holes ,slide the body mount through ,good to go ..I thought It may snap the body mount .but after a month of bashin ..she held up just fine..I bend em a little offset cuz the motor is ..and you lose some body strength by the mounts ..but the combo of cage/bracket i think ive got the system
