|  Some pics of my new cage and MGT tires Just thought I would share a few pics of the latest round of mods to my E Maxx.The cage is 3/16" round stock and is brazed together.The roof and hood are lexan and the side panels and aluminum can    The added tire height helps ALOT!And running them without the foam lets them conform to stuff realy well.     And the driver was my womans idea    |

| Re: Some pics of my new cage and MGT tires Thanks All I did to the suspension was clearance a couple spots on the lower arms for a bit more down travel,fool with shock placement to get the most from the travel,and made the spring tension just barely strong enough to keep it up. I had thoughts of linkin it up but I was out drivin it on my rock pile right now and changed my mind.I had it on its side at over 45* several times and didnt flop.What changed my mind is that I have almost zero body roll comared to linked vehicles I have seen. Im diggin being heavy with a low COG for now so I am gonna work at squeezin some more travel out of the IFS/IRS setup. |

| Re: Some pics of my new cage and MGT tires Thanks guys. After foolin around on the rocks for a week or so,most of the tan paint is gone and the beer can side skins have a few dents from trying impossible lines.But the cage will be way more durable in the long run and thats a plus |

| Re: Some pics of my new cage and MGT tires Thanks for the comments guys I prolly got 8+ hours in that cage,I dont think I will be making more.Right now Im gonna have to redo the front of it.I 3 linked the front and the tires hit and I also have to figure out a new way to mount the front of the cage to the rest of the truck. It is brazed together.The attaching points up front are the top 2 screw holes for that brace between the bulkheads.It is sort of a hinge so I can swing the body up to change batts.The rear is held on by the stock rear body mounts and body clips.

| Re: Some pics of my new cage and MGT tires Looks very interesting! Where are these huge tires from? What foams do you use? I´m modding my E-Maxx ready for crawling meanwhile and your solution is looking extremely good. I have a set of the original wheels from the HPI Savage. They are perfectely for crawling but the larger diameter of your tires is an unbeatable advantage!  Nice work you´ve done there!  Manuel Edit: Ok ok, these are tires from the MTA-4. Are they hardly to mount at the maxx-rims? |
