Default Post up the HINGED bodies/cages

I'm building myself a hard-body scaler that may end up with a partial exo cage, and don't want to see much evidence of body attachments. I know there are lots of ways to achieve this via hidden hardware, magnets, velcro, boogers, etc. - but I'm interested in seeing some hinged body setups and want to compile a list of some builds that include this feature. Ideally, the list will have lots of rigs with exo cages/tube work, because those seem a little more difficult to engineer. If you know of some builds that include this, please post up some info/pics/links, etc. to share, so they're all found in one place when someone searches in the future

Here's a few I've come across:

Mechanic's Wroncho



SBC's 1st Gen Hilux Truggy


Stef91 has some cool hinged stuff in his builds, like the Tundra Truggy
hinged over the cab section:


Lots of hinged Honcho bodies from the rear cage. Examples:
POW*MIA Memorial Honcho

Madkawi's IROK Honcho


FXMan Clod


NoobieScaler35 LR3 Truggy


TheKeltz The Crawling Dead


Mett1971 Night Crawler scale conversion


MrJugger Twin Hammers Rescue Operation



Ok, so that's a few examples I found really quickly, but I know there are lots of hidden gems here on RCC. Since there are several straightforward ways to do this (like the Honcho cage), let's try and skip those and post up the more technical examples if possible - like those with exo cages and tubework involved.

Thanks
