UPDATE

I just got a new camera and some new mods on my mt, it has a rollcage now which needs to be redone i honestly need to know how to make one.
it has a new tri cell that i just made today and is a big improvement in power.

take a look:

kinda hard to see the rollcage

And a video for you pimps.

I have a question can i use these batteries on a zzmt as a tri cell?

I have no idea on the batteries but as for the cage...I was thinking piano wire since its light and absurdly strong but then I realized that the learning curve on bending it without breaking is kind of steep. Also it relly needs to be welded with a mig or a tig. Brass rod is easy to work with and should be more than strong enough but since it looks like you have enough weight I'd aviod it. SO, I think your best bet would be styrene rod. Your LHS should have some, its easy to bend (a hair dryer helps soften it) and insted of solder you can just glue it.

It looks like you did a good job on the cage you made though. So I'm not sure if I answered what you were concerned about

brass rod would work just fine this thing can pull my mini t no prob!

but yeah i will probably go with the styrene rod instead.

Yes.

Nice work, but personally, I feel the MAN body looks too long and top heavy, or in other words just awkward.

yeah thats what i was thinkin that man body just ain't lookin right.

UPDATE

Well i was starting to get some really bad torqe rolls on my crawler and the rubber band thing just wasn't working out and it looked dumb anyways. so i made a suspension system that is similar to the one RRB did on his toyota. Also on the silverado body i had to trim the rear end for full articulation.

check it out

now it crawls like a charm
