How did you build the cage??? 110v welder. Flux. The tube chassis you see, my buddy used a 110v welder to tack everything in place, and then brazed it using this method http://www.rccrawler.com/tuber.htm

I wish somebody made a lexan body for these things that is proportional, so it didn't look like a monster truck. Not lexan, but if you go to Wal Mart or ToysRUS they have 1:6 scale trucks like a Tundra DoubleCab, Nissan Tital Doublecab, Hummer, Escolade, F150, and some others, and you can use this on a R/C. But it will be too big and heavy to do any SERIOUS crawling. I have a Humvee 1:6 scale body that I eventualy will mount on a F/R independent suspended truck. I had it mounted to my clod, but it was waaaay to big http://www.toyotaoffroad.net/afertig/88/images/clod34.jpgFYI my site has a few more pics of my builds http://www.toyotaoffroad.net/afertig/88/rccrawler.htm

Yes, my truck, driven by me. Jason Carter, who writes for RC Driver, was at a rock crawling competetion I was at at the Green River in Rochester KY. He told me my rig would be in it. I havent gotten the magazine yet, but I'm going to go get it if its out.
Can you scan the article? What month issue was it in?
