Steel cage to build a Rouck Bouncer

[waqr]

I am thinking about building a rock bounce style Wraith and I therefore need a nice steel cage for it. Have seen this one nad like the style of it.

Question, are there any other better cages out there?

It dosent look great with no panels IMO, and the stinger bends easily, soft metal subpar welds.
Only other options I know of are paying a premium for a custom cage.
By custom I mean made by a guy in his garage and not a factory in china.

I have the same cage as your pops, I agree it doesn’t look good without panels (but it’s growing on me)
My plan was to use the original wraith panels but no matter what I did I couldn’t get them to bend....I still think I want to do something

I have two of them, and with panels and interior they come out great. The can be had for $30.00 with shipping on ebay, and a little more on aliexpress.


They are not high quality cages, but they will do.

Many thanks for the replies. Just ordered one of these cages from Banggood. Hopefully it wont take too long until it turns up.

Can anyone recommend a interior that fits? I have a driver so I would need an interior with empty chairs where I could fit my driver.

i have one of tbe wraith cages and the bomber cage there pretty nice but i have about 4 welds that poped on one cage i havent run the other yet only 1 was structural though
if you dont have a welder get one and learn to use it your gona need it for that cage or you could braze it back together ether way its just maintinance of a metal cage

I can tell you that a wraith interior does not fit. I built both of mine or of styrene.
