body or cage

[lone5t]

does anybody out there have these on thier hpi 5t or 5b?rc4wd's desert strom baja cage or cw sand car body.is the alum. body very tough will it handle a good roll over?how much does the cage way.and how does it hook up in the rear.does it use a wing?i have a jetpro pipe on my 5t and its all alum but the cage i already geared it down because its so heavy.ill buy a bigger motor after the stock one dies.but are either of those products worth the cost?

I just saw the cw body here in town, it's not for me but it felt very strong.

would be hard to get on and off?what didnt you like about it

[mradlin]

Off and on didn't look bad at all, just the looks of it didn't appeal to me. But it wasn't painted of finished at all when I saw it. I should see it within a couple of weeks all finished, might be a whole other story then...;)

I will. It felt strong as heck too, the body wouldn't flex at all by hand.

i just cant make up my mind on which one to get.i think with the cage it would make it harder to work on.on the other hand the alum. body you can just take off and i could still run my 5t body.let me know on the cage what you think.

I think a cage would look kinda cool on the 5t if it was done correctly..but it also ADDS tons of weight..jmo but what is another 2-3lbs right:p:p
