I originally bought a SCT410.3 to try my hand at racing at a local indoor track. As soon as I got it set up the track closed. So I started tinkering ...
 
The cage body is a Losi scbe. It’s a perfect length for the Short course or Tekno 1/8 buggy.
Currently running with Mamba Monster X, a 2000kv Gool motor, and Savox 1270 Servo

How does the body mount?
 
It’s got a hinge at the rear and has to be mounted to the rear shock tower. But it can’t bolt directly to the tower because it has to set a little bit higher to fit properly. . You need to attach kydex, aluminum or something similar to the tower then bolt the cage on just a bit above the tower. Let me know if you want more pics, I’ll get some up tomorrow. It definitely took a little work to get it all to set right.

Here’s the front. I used an angle piece I chopped off of an old pickup truck bed liner. Ran two bolts from underneath....and I am using the Proline cap screw body clip thingies to hold the front in place

Good to see you here buddy
 
I’ve been watching this development. These look wicked fun. I think Fierce Pete is offering a conversion kit now.
 
Can’t seem to find it now. Should be a U4RC conversion. I look again tonight.
 
I also saw on FB that he was planning on releasing a kit that would include everything for the conversion. I don’t think he has it available yet.

. Just to be clear my build
Is quite different. I did not use the truggy chassis. I’m still using the short course chassis. Most guys are using the Nomad DB8 cage, and I’m using a Losi scbe cage.
Also I converted my entire driveline over to eb48.4 parts(driveshafts, universals, arms, spindles, hubs, outdrives, diff pins, rear c and d blocks)....I’m after heavy duty durability. I tend to abuse my trucks a bit:)
I don’t race. It would’ve been cheaper and easier if I started with a eb48.4 but I’m working with what I had. ...and I enjoy tinkering.

The rear piece is bolted to both the kydex sheet and tower, then bolted also to the stock sct bumper(adding a lot of strength)

Awesome rig! I like how you did your own spin on it compared to the others I have seen. Especially with the cage, IMO the nomad cage isnt the best looking of the bunch.
 
Thank you. I had this rig put together months before the rcnetwork guy started the craze with the nomad/truggy length. I also am not all too crazy about the look of the db8 cage. There’s a guy on Facebook who used a Wraith cage. It looks awesome.
 
Well the hard work paid off, I think it's a better looking vehicle than his. When I start my db build the wraith cage is what I was planning on using. For curiosity sake I'll see how my bomber cage looks as well.
 
The more i see these caged buggies the more i want one... no more shredded bodies to replace...

I took a screen shot on FB. Here’s the guys Tekno with the Wraith cage

Ah that rules I miss my Wraith! I had a bronco body for mine too. Would love to see how it mounts...

Musta misread that. Can’t find it anywhere. Sorry. They are wicked cool just the same.
