Roll Cage Hey guys, just joined the forum today. I wanted to ask a question to anyone who has built their own roll cage. What did you build it out of and how did you assemble it (brazing, soldering, welding.... etc.)? Thanks. |
Re: Roll Cage Quote:
I use 3/16" automotive brake tube, and self fluxing brazing rods. I wrote a brazing tech thread a few years back on another forum, its here if you want to have a read. You might have to sign up but its a decent forum in Australia Brazing info, tools and tech. - General Tech - crawlANZ |
Re: Roll Cage I use 3/16 Stainless Steel rod and tube. What ever rod you use the walls should be at least .035 thick. I solder/braze with safety silv 56 wire."thumbsup" A build I'm working on right now. http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/...o/IMG_6953.jpg Link to my build thread if you want to see my set up and a few tips. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/vater...-ascender.html |
Re: Roll Cage I'm using 3/16 steel rod and a TIG. |
Re: Roll Cage Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely check out those threads. I'm going to start on my cage as soon as I decide on a design. |
Re: Roll Cage 4mm solid steel rod it can take my weight on it with minimal triangulation and i use mig welding |
Re: Roll Cage I use 3/16 solid steel rod and a mig welder for mine. |
Re: Roll Cage I used 1/4 inch brakeline, Silver rods, Safety-Silv flux, and MAPP gas. Sturdy, and weighs less than 8 oz. |
Roll Cage 1/8 rod, and everything else larger than that, steel tube. MIG welded. Then I use engine enamel paints and bake on the paint to cure. Seems as strong or stronger than powder coating and wayyy cheaper. |
Re: Roll Cage I used chromoly tubing, and both silver solder and mig wilded. Mig was much much faster, but the silver solder was very clean. In the end I wanted go and not show, so mig it was. |
