Phend probably swaps out his bird cages every weekend or whatever, a club racer won't. He is also using them is lower amp draw power setups in 1/10 buggies.
If I used a bird cage in my 4x SCT for too long I would have a hot mess of plastic in my lipo tray

Phend took TQ of round 1 in 4wd SCT at the Cactus Classic.
