A cage, like what comes with the SC8, then cut out all the windows and vents... that would be the way to go.

I would give up the little bit of weight for the ability to lose all the parachute.

Too bad the SC8s are so big. Would take quite a bit of work to get one of those cages on a regular SCT. Initially I though you could just shorten it, but the cab section is too wide also...
