You should hold the brazing rod in your right hand and the torch in the other. I'm not sure why you are trying to use tiny bits of the rod. Heat up the aluminum until it's hot enough to melt the rod with out the flame touching the rod, then feather the flame over the weld. The build is awesome, great work.
Omg lol at first I thought you were brazing a full sized roll cage people were going to get into! I was like, well that's not gonna hold up! Great video!
what size rods did u use and if u don't mind what's a list of everything u used in this video trying to make my own trying to tig weld a cage but didn't turn out great so Goin to try this route u help would be greatly appreciated?!
+Patrick Dixon Hey Patrick! I've used 5mm aluminum rods bought in construction market (nothing special). And there is a pic of all tools I've used: rcgarage.info/img/_pics/fordtt/DSCN8958.JPG
Amazing work!! I have a problem, i brazing 2 rods together, after that if i brazing a third rod in the same point all braze melts....how i can fix that? In some point i have 5 rods to braize together, but i can't braze all in the same time..can you help me please?
Hello! I would recommend braze all three (or more) at the same time but keep them in place where you want them to be all the time. Use steel thing rod to hold them down in place.
Hi, thanks for the info you provided, tried it out and it is realy easy to solder the rod, only problem is that the alloy rod of the cage is soft and im thinking how soft is yours ? can u bend it easily, how is the truck holding up, have you had any major rolls while running it, did the cage bend, tried heating the rod and then cooling it in water, but found out it gets softer. Keep the videos comming.
MECHANIC Hi! And I am glad that it was helpful. It is quite soft if you try to bend just one piece of rod by itself. The main goal is to get the cage triangulated properly so bending won't be that easy. I had rolling the truck last weekend. Here is the video with some tough jumps: ruclips.net/video/Kho-S0cAHCA/видео.html it handled without any issues. Also you can take a look at my other video of strength test: ruclips.net/video/4HHeO83lM00/видео.html
Stratos not sure if you got it figured out or have since moved on in the last 3 yrs but heating metal up then putting it in liquid is called "quenching" but your supposed to dip the hot metal in an oil instead of water... I know with steel anyway quenching it in oil at the right time and temp will harden it to where you can't even drill through it without some hardened bits!! Maybe see if softer metal like aluminum is the same way
What type of aluminum rods did u use, also the brazing rod what type is it? Can we get it on the web ? By the way great work man, been following ur builds for a while.
MECHANIC Hi man. Aluminum rods are basic ones, not hardened and soldering material is Castoline 192 FBK (you can also look for HTS-2000 which is the same).
Thanks for the video. i am a amateur model builder and always wanted to build something like this. My question is the aluminum rod strong enough for rc models?
Hi! Not really if you will ride like you used to ride an ordinary Slash for example. You can't expect the cage to hold on when you hit the tree or the wall on full throttle. But when you ride the car for fun, small roll overs do not do any damage.
@@FuelRacing i own a 1/5 scale, planning on building a 1/4 inch steel pipe roll cage. You think that would withstand some impacts? Or hard rollovers? Its mainly for looks and ease of maintenance, but should still be somewhat sturdy :)

perfect video I was looking for this guide for a couple days
Слишком правильное произношение для носителя языка) А за активное участие в модельном движении - аплодирую 👏
Great looking work sir!
Brazing starts at 8:32.
Thanks for sharing that.great looking cage.
Thanks! Glad that you liked it :)
really nice work bud!
Nice hack saw spread up!
Very good video!
what type of solder you use??? thanks..
Which brazing rod u r using?
which braze are you using?
nice cage. followed
This is a cool video thanks.
Nice tutorial
what size material do you use?

where did you get plans for this or did you plan it your self
It looks awesome but Im curious to know how strong it is. Not just the joints but the aluminum rods also.
What diameter is your aluminum rod?
It was 5 mm rod

@@Gimm3Fuel It's more difficult, but thanks so much!
Nice video..
why aluminum doesn't melt when it's hit by fire?
and what ingredients small adhesives that ?
its an alloy, flux?
Nice 👍
Good video, but please next time don't use background music when you're doing a spoken demonstration.
Donde puedo conseguir el aluminio quiero diseñar mi propio chassis

do you know how much you payed for the aluminum
Also what size, spec and place to buy said aluminum??

фига ты ногой правой дергаешь-нервы! you guys right leg, you pull your nerves!
do you custom make and sell any roll cages for the losi dbxl and 5ive t??
Это версия видео на английском. А вот русская: ruclips.net/video/GjwcI7_aD1k/видео.html
Enjoy this kind of information but man u are in slow motion. Just braze it already please
Can you make me a aluminum cage for my losi 5ive t? I'll pay you

Music is a disaster to a such good video👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
