i spoke too soon... its printed at about 97.5% scale to the yeti cage and the outside screw holes dont line up with the cage holes. totally usable just gotta drill some new holes. gonna let the guy know, but its still really cool.

[CrawlinMike]

Oh what a pisser @ over $50 to the door.
But most of us are plenty capable of making a couple new holes.

[badhoopty]

yeah. since its just a taaad too small it doesnt nestle up into the bottom of the cage like it should. such a cool piece of hardware to have be juuuust a tad off. ;)

i dig it tho. id love one for my wraith.

[badhoopty]

...not at all looking fwd to wiring up all these damn lights.

Mmms. They still look too wide... maybe it's the wheel offset.

Offsets on these wheels is wider. It right at where the body is to the inside of the tire.

One day I'll be switching them to vp wheels.

That is cool Hoopty, I wonder if that rollcage is both stronger and lighter than brakeline. It looks stronger because of the joints, and all the short pieces.

[badhoopty]

its strong but a hard impact would crack the pvc. its geared way down and could never be driven fast enough to hurt it.

thing with the 6th scale stuff is brakeline at 3/16" is too small.

Posted the Gelande II to eBay... put a min. dollar amount. Then got some dumbass who messages me and asks what the minimum I would take for it is. Geesh.

[Mike Flea]

Ya, I bought a bunch of different size brakeline from O'Reilly's, and decided on the 1/4" stuff for the rollbar maintubes. I was going to use the 1/8 for the steering wheel, and the 3/16 for the tube around the grill and the stinger, and a small piece of 5/16 for the front bumper

if i had the choice id build with the 1/4" brakeline and skip the pvc.
