Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / December 2005rckenon rollbars for savage
Anyone used one? Any info? > Anyone used one? > Any info? In this subject, i'd like a half cage that will project the engine if anyone has any experience or knowledge of one existing anywhere? Preferably Delrin as it won't break or bend, but i could be talked into Ti ;-) Even better would be if it wasn't offensively ugly...  SignatureDan >> Anyone used one? >> Any info?

I'm just wondering what the hell you guys are doing to your Savages that produces the need for a rollbar (other than stock) or a half-cage for that matter! I beat mine mercilessly and haven't had the need for either of those yet....................just curious? Doc >>> Anyone used one? >>> Any info?

I have basically stripped out all the holes that hold the factory roll bar on now! (Not Good) There HAS to be something better! Drilling some holes in the chassis plates I feel will be a necessity! I would rather bend chassis plates at a mount point than have to replace tranny and rx casings! Plus, the factory body has to fit! =) > >> Anyone used one? > >> Any info?

I've done the same to my tranny case and radio box. I thought we were talking short-term durability for massive impacts, not a longer-term wear and tear type of thing. Nuthin' a piece of 3mm 6061 or 7075 and a few 3mm bolts and nuts wouldn't fix huh? If it wasn't so damned cold outside I'd head to the garage and make one up just for sh.ts! I was actually thinking of making a few custom TVP's out of 3mm 6061 stock, with zero unnecessary holes for added strength. The custom roll bar would be a nice addition. Would weigh a ton, but the Sav isn't light to begin with anyhow. Doc hey doc, Where you live?On Mon, 5 Dec 2005 21:10:03 -0500, "\"Doc\"" >> Landing incorrectly to often, off of extreme jumps! >> I have basically stripped out all the holes that hold the factory roll bar [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >Doc > hey doc, Where you live?
