rollover protection

[rims']

i have a t3 and am constantly rolling it over. this destroyes bodys as fast as you can say antidisestablishmentarianism,if you can. i was wondering if putting servo tape on the top of the body and the bumps on the back and i spray painted the top will it protect it wont be my race body just my bashin body will this reduce scratches on my body?

Why not make a roll cage out of some thin tube that can be removed for racing easily? Just cut out some holes in your basher body and extend the roll over bar through it like a real 4x4 would look sweet!! Or if you are after a quick fix just reinforce the areas that usually break with some polycarbonate strips glued to the inside.

ok so anyone know which places to mount a cage on a t3 basic.translation=where are places to sacrifice screws to mount bars

I would change my set up. A T3 shouldn't roll over that much. I don't know what you would do to the set up, but I am sure someone here could help you.

Hows your suspension set? If you have it jacked up sky-high then lower it. Being high like this will cause it to roll a lot. I run a Factory Team GT (similar to T3 except its gas). I have the suspension set so the arms are level and I have no trouble with it rolling unless I do a lot of jumping. My suggestion would be to either make a rollcage (but most I've seen look kind of sad) or buy another body and keep it as sort of a show body or use it when you aren't jumping or offroading and keep this body for messing around with. That way you can just keep patching it up and you won't care what it looks like.

paint some acrylic on the inside of the body. That will stiffen that lexan up really well. I have a body that went through 6 years of racing and the hardest bashing you've ever seen, and the thing is still solid. The body got retired with my RC10. It used to be jumped off of the roof, and land on the body. There are still no cracks in the body. I suggest that you do this. Just put on some coats of thick acrylic, and your body will last a looong time.

[Rc1oGtMaN]

Nah. It's barely anything. You said it was a basher anyway, so why do you care about the weight?
