Default E-revo roll cage?

I do alot of jumping with my e-revo and bash it decently hard... Other day i broke a rear bulkhead :/...... How good is the rc solutions roll cage?
Will it strengthen the erevo so i can stop snapping bulks cause that seems to be my only problem with the truck .... Or am i wasting my time and should i save up for a new bashing truck

And i only run 4s

I have heard nothing but good things about them, but i have never had one to say so for myself. For the price i would hope they are as good as they say lol

Thanks for the input so far the main thin im worried is what if i land on the roll cage? And will the roll cage cause a weak point in the chassis

Also i was going to get a aluminum rear bluckhead.... I know that people say that if you get a metal bulkhead it will make the chassis the weak point but if i get the rc soltions roll cage if should make the rear solid i think


Give me some opinions on my idea please

I would suggest a rear chassis brace mod rather than the aluminum bulks. They don't really do much except transfer the weak spot elsewhere. The rear chassis brace at least helps stiffen the chassis.

I don't have hands on experience with the RC concepts cages, either, but I have yet to hear anyone say they don't help. If you've got the budget, I would go for it.

i have seen pics with the brake pad there, i do not know if you need to modify it to fit. i was using Tekno rear sway bars and i attached my brace to the plastic piece that they mount to.

I never had any issues with it in that configuration. I was a little hesitant with it set up that way, being drilled into plastic but didn't have any issues. screws were still tight after a season so the weren't moving at all and wearing out the holes.

if the screw wasn't long enough you would have had very little bite into the bulkhead. plus if you use a bracket of some sort it spreads the forces and you shouldn't see much in way of flexing and popping out.
