diy rollcage

<< < (2/3) > >>

clbarclay:
A problem with roll cages is they do give you the confidance to take greater risks, so make sure you have a roll cage your confidance won't be miss founded in.

Thrasher:
..what's more - the odds on a roll *with* a roll cage are greater due to more weight above the suspension.....

extreme90:
its easier to roll with a cage than without  :roll:
but then again, the...it'll be ok factor comes into play when you have a cage
so generally ( well i do ) just go for it, worst eventuality is i get to give me chassis a good looking at  :lol:  :lol:
oh and grease the props easily aswel

but thats my personality for you speaking  :lol:

bodgeitjo:
thanx for ur replys so far, just for the record no intentions of doing winch challenges ect. more a case of body protection when playing and laneing, :lol: and all so cosmetic 8) (well i think a cage looks good)but i do also want it to be purposfull and safe as do have 5 kids and missus in there.(started playing off road for some peace and quiet but cant go without them now :roll: )

boss:
another thing people forget about when rolling is a possibilty is to take any thing lose out or strapp it down, friend of mine rolled and got a nasty cut on his head from a can of coke!
when building it you want to mount it on the outriggers you cant do that on a disco front hoop but you are alowed to weld a 6 or 7mm thick plate and extend them by 100mm, it must be gusseted in 4 places though. and the further back your middle/rear hoop braces are the better. if memory serves you can do pretty much what you want in the middle of all that.
that book was the alrc hand book p100 onwards
