lol
Like a wal mart set of tools compared to a snap - on set.
That is not a RC Raven cage,but some generic imposter.
I assure you raven cages do not bend like that.
No freakin way!

I use the RC Solutions on my 25RTR and the standard X roll loop for my Savage X.
Both work well. I will likely remove the RC Solutions because with Titanium chassis plates, I don't need any extra stiffness, just a little engine protection.

that pic of the black cage... look right where the bend is, look in that crease, you can see right where the bolt hole is for the support that is supposed to be there. why he pulled it out, i have no idea. broken cage is the lesson to be learned.

This is the best rollcage that im aware of, only problem is you have to build it yourself.








Good luck[&:]...

I don't have that particular roll bar, but I do have the one made for the Revo. It is the same material, and it will handle everything from WOT skids across pavement to landing upside down from 10+ feet. It's super light too. The savage one looks even better than the one on my revo, so it is probably a good buy. Kinda pricey but it pays out when you don't break as many parts. I actually think I might buy this one too, thanks for the link.

why dont you go buy the plastic roll bar and engine protector, its plastic..( light, and cheap) and if it breaks its not gonna be hard to replace, plus its easy to fit on...my hpi one is still alive and i have smashed it from many hights and stupid stunts, like others have said, if its mouted to something and you bend it, it will break other parts!!....
