I just put a back half cage on my trx4 sport and it turned out great! I used the proline Ford f250 cab body and the only modifications I had to do for it to fit is removing the rear inner fenders that i had installed, removing the rear bumper, removing the rock sliders cause they hung down WAY to low from the bottom of the body, I had to do a bit of trimming around the bottom edges of the body, and since I wasnt able to use the fuel cell integrated in the body, i drilled holes behind it for the body posts. Then my next issue was that I couldn't get body clips through the posts because they were hitting the fuel cell. To fix this I drilled holes going in the opposite direction in the rear body posts so that the clip doesnt interfere with the fuel cell integrated in the cage. If you want to see the final product check out my channel, Trax RC for more info!
@@scalebuildersguild who am I to question a master builder...🤣🤣 I'm sure your plan we come together like always... you and Harley are an inspiration to us all... just ordered a 3d printer to step up my game. Thanks for what you do for the hobby 🤙#keeponrcn
I would like to see some wipers made next week. For that JScale MJ. Which is then put on this chassis cause frankly the Sport bodies don't do it for us Jeep guys. My Class 2 is the same MJ cab but with a metal truggy back. First time I have chopped off half a frame rail. Was strangely satisfying.
Trucks awesome bro. I wanna get one of those cages for my redcat gen 8. But what do you think of the strength of the front cva input gears? And how the front cva shaft going into that. Mine broke right in the cup and I dont get how.
@@scalebuildersguild Matt, Thank you for NOT sharing... It forced me into Fusion 360 to design the part myself. I have had this on my list of things to do since the cage came out, but always put it off. Here is what I came up with a360.co/2KJqiGq
Lol can I buy that trx sport body off you I'm going to start my first build in the next couple of weeks I got a trx tactical for my birthday in early jun and now I'm inspired to get/build another one so I can go with my sister or maybe her boyfriend or my dad so I'm not alone
@@dmetzger24 man, you just gotta get in there and do it! Masking tape is really easy to work with. Just make sure you get lexan paint, paint the inside of the body, and spray light coats. Your first paint job may or may not turn out a lil sloppy, but you will only gain knowledge and skills by trying. YOU CAN DOOOIT!! ☺
Nice Mount!! This is the @rc_amigos and the @trail-ops-rc guy..... Im in need of a new 3d printer, my finally died. What are you using? I see you are also using a mac, do you use cura? Im thinking of a CR-10 so I can print bodies....??? BTW Im absolutely going to poach that concept for the tilt hinge. I just need a good solution for the front end of my tube chassis to securely mount? Thanks for being awesome. P
I am confused that complain about the top heaviness with the extra accessories, but doesn't a cage add more weight. Also I thought you guys were keeping the original bodies? Great series though.
Question,will the vanquish vs4 10 chassis kit fit a red car gen8 and if so would it make a performance difference? Thanks for any help , new to crawling
Hey so I’m gonna put this back half cage on my trx4 sport camper. I ordered the 3d print from your shapeway store. Curious, with the body mount removed. How are you mounting the body in the rear?
Says the trx4 body with the rack is too heavy for performance (I agree, took mine off aswell) but then puts a even heavier cage in the back. At less it looks good but we'll have to see if the performance gets better with that🤔
Scale Builder's Guild really? I didn't know that, I wanted to put the cage on my trx4 Sport aswell some time ago, but I thought it was too heavy and performance would ho down. Alright, good to know, thank you!
Those rear iner fenders have got to go. Or at least be trimmed so they don't sick outside of the cage. I'm a yota nut too, lc70 cab?.....or SR5?.....I'm sure what ever you come up with will be cool, keep it up.
Nice hat lol seen you at g6 was a great event next up is the ttc event and hogwars Was looking to get more involved with the event side of the hobby and was wondering About possibly having a bit of sponsorships and most people know you channel and your shop and would be cool if maybe we could get some T-shirt’s hats or even stickers for prizes and giveaways
I wanna how skilled you are with styrene, since you can make anything, 😉 my challenge to you is.... make me a millionaire. I know it sounds impossible, but the styrene skills you’ve shown are magical. Also, ditch the wheel wells on the back, please. It hurts to look at.
Scale Builder's Guild Oh, ok. My bad. I tried to watch the video again and I think I know where I went wrong. It all started with getting lost in that big, beautiful wall of R/C’s you’ve got there, and then there was a 3D printer in action (which is something that’s on my list of things to upset the wife by purchasing), then the wall again, and then there was a close up of a truggy that’s not really a truggy. Long story short, sorry for the confusion. 😋
😂 I've got my subtitles turned on, and instead of reading "cue the intro" it says "Oh shitty intro". Must be some drinking going on down there at RUclips headquarters because those two phrases don't sound that similar. 😅 Wth?
Great video. Wipers for everyone!!
Like, double wipers? ;)
Ive done this to my sport and went with velcro to secure the cage. It works. But i like the idea of magnets too!
Perhaps make a custom grille and wipers? Or even headlight wipers like a Volvo?
Holy EFF, yes! That's an awesomely hilarious idea.

@@scalebuildersguild np
Are you losing the rear wheel wells? Imo it might look a little better with them outta there
A lot of people are asking that, but once you see the final result I think it'll make sense to keep them.

If you take the rear bumper mount flip it and use it on the front you will get over a half inch more clearance
Thanks for the tip!
If you use the rear bumper mount flipped upside down on the front it will rain see the front bumper even more.
Neat-o!
I think wipers would be a sweet scale touch, possibly some wipers too. Wipers wouldnt hurt though😅😅😅
I vote or a "Harley Resigns" flag off the back of the truck.
Hahahaha
I like that proline cage very nice
It is pretty nice!
based on the body you want to use (not sure yet) but perhaps a styrene grill/light buckets, etc?
Hmmm...
It’s something I want to do so I might be subtly asking to see you do it, too!
Think you are going the same direction I’m going but I’m using a honcho back half under the camper shell.....
Interesting! Great minds think alike!

A scale engine block, inline 6 cyl 22RE yota motor
6 cylinder 22re? Is that a thing?
@@scalebuildersguild Sure it is! Just like those V4 3VE-2JZ's
@@Ntyuask Uhhhhh...
Knights customs has a half cage hinge mount for the half cage
Wipers, maybe a scale accessory like a hinged cooler.
Cooler would be nice!
The struggle starting the screw made me smile. I love the humor in your videos. How about a Styrene pet carrier with a 3d printed dog or cat?
Windshield wipers are so passe.. Now windshield squeegees are where it's at!
Hahahaha
I know I'm late & Binge watching but how about headlight wipers 🤷♂️
Just wait.
Looking good! Build a inside interior. would like to see how you would make that.
Did I miss the episode where you shifted the rear shocks to the first hole? What’s the reasoning behind that?
Trucks awesome bro. I wanna get one of those cages for my redcat gen 8. But what do you think of the strength of the front cva input gears? And how the front cva shaft going into that. Mine broke right in the cup and I dont get how.
Can't say, haven't really torture tested the Gen8.
Would like to see you build a cab for the front half of this vehicle
How about a whole new body?
@@scalebuildersguild
Sure that would be a very good idea; just hope it gets done in time. Only have 9 weeks left lol
Great channel and Great challenge
I do like the front overhang of the Axial Honcho body for tire approach. Have not found anything better to date. I know...Sacrilege!
Indeed! The Honcho body is pretty great.
check thingaverse i have a chassis mount pivot mount for the cage
So, just like the one I made?
I need that hinge for a element
I just ordered my hinge from shapeways, for those of us who are "Super Challenged" so easy!
Hope it works for you, I have no idea, since I didn’t make it!
I like Angry Dave's Adult RC idea for a scale fuel cell
There's already a fuel cell on this cage.
Hey are you going to make the mount available in your on line store? Awesome job🤙
Just working out a few additional kinks Travis!
Scale Builder's Guild will you let me know I ordered a Ford Chevy T shirt
Is the Proline cage mount to the sport body available yet?
nice one! i made an interior for m trx4 sport, used tape to attach it :D
Whatever works!
A styrene hat
Hahahaha
Door handles ... make real door handles ... and wipers ! Great video sir👍🏻
Close but a little diffrent. have a good one
I will, you too!
Can you share the stl for the cage mount?
As soon as I have the kinks worked out, I'll post it on Shapeways.
Yes would like to buy cage mount
I want to print my own!
Sorry, I don’t usually share those things, and the Shapeways print will be superior.

Nice, not for sale currently. I'll figure something out, perhaps a giveaway.
Ya iv never painted a body and I'm not very artistic I struggled to draw a stick fight I'm not rely sher what my plan is when I comes to a body

I love that you love them!
Great job on the video!! looking forward running the ultra at axial Fest:) maybe we could get Josh on board this year;)
You're on your own this year Marc, make me proud.
A styrene Monster can would help this build punch through for the win!
Styrene is nice.
And cheap. You can even get some scraps for free...no job necessary.
Good stuff brother
Cheers!
Styrene fuel cell with 3d printed top. -"Angry" Dave
Cage already has a fuel cell though. SADFACE
I didn't notice. Is it not very detailed? I'm sure it doesn't have "SBG" Printed on it.
What kind of 3D printer are you using
Tevo Tornado
I think you should make a fully functional sound system out of styrene.
Hahahaha

3D print a GoPro mount so you can shoot FPV running videos.
Perhaps a bumper swap design so it's universal to all TRX-4's?
Good idea!
Lookup RunCam Splitv2. Much lighter than a GoPro for FPV. Great quality as well.
Thank you for your TRx-4 Videos
I am confused that complain about the top heaviness with the extra accessories, but doesn't a cage add more weight. Also I thought you guys were keeping the original bodies? Great series though.
We have the option to use the camper style body as well. This cage is substantially lighter than the one on the body currently.
Where can I purchase the rear hinge you 3D printed? Thats perfect for my Trx4/truggy build !!
Should be linked in the description.
Why do I get the feeling he's making styrene wipers next week?
That's crazy talk!
I can already see it!
It's going to look aggressive
What 3d printer do you recommend for beginners?
That's a tough one, probably one from Prusa, they seem to be pretty plug and play.
which fang mod are you using on the tevo ?
Styrene an Emblem or license plate?
Question,will the vanquish vs4 10 chassis kit fit a red car gen8 and if so would it make a performance difference? Thanks for any help , new to crawling
Doubtful, as portals and their geometry might not work. Not sure it'd be worth your while.
Where can I buy the cage hinge?
Link is in the first comment.
Yes I know this is an old video. Was the 3d mount PLA or PETG?
PLA
What to make out of styrene; how about the whole frickin' cab! :)
No need, this won't just be a cab.
How do you mount the body to the chassis?
I'll get to that stuff as I get to the body. Lots to come before that.
@@scalebuildersguild thank for the reply.
KILLER!! Looking forward to!! NC MOUNTAINS.. 👊👍✔
Me too, thanks!
Hey so I’m gonna put this back half cage on my trx4 sport camper. I ordered the 3d print from your shapeway store. Curious, with the body mount removed. How are you mounting the body in the rear?
I think I used a couple zip ties and sticky loop mounts to the body.
Scale Builder's Guild you got a video that shows something like that?
Says the trx4 body with the rack is too heavy for performance (I agree, took mine off aswell) but then puts a even heavier cage in the back. At less it looks good but we'll have to see if the performance gets better with that🤔
Um, this cage is exceptionally lighter than what it was replacing.
Scale Builder's Guild really? I didn't know that, I wanted to put the cage on my trx4 Sport aswell some time ago, but I thought it was too heavy and performance would ho down. Alright, good to know, thank you!
It’s really light. The plastic is much more flexible then the Traxxas cage as well.
Maybe some wipers?
Woah, let's not go crazy!
Try making a gattling gun or a mini gun attached on the cage. It would look crazy awesome. Just like in farcry 5
Interesting idea! Not familiar with video game stations.
Was there ever a way to buy the hinge?
Yes! It’s on our Shapeways Page!
maybe some thin thin mud flaps~! lol
Oooh, I like that idea!
Make the scalest winch with styrene
I could do that, and would play into what I plan on doing. Good call!
C.B radio, maybe wipers
Wipers you say? Interesting!
rear tires covers( top of rear tires)
I think you need to make wipers!😜
Are you sure? ;)
Scale Builder's Guild not really...😂😜😆
Does this cage really weigh less?
Yes.
Dude, have Josh send you some Vanquish drivers. Trust me
I have them, but not that super small one.
I think I know where you are going with this whole 'jeepspeed' stuff
You are going to make a body completely made with scale styrene WIPERS!! Ya? 😁
LOLZ!
You should do wipers
Here's an idea... why don't you make some WIPERS!
MADNESS!
Hey you should do window wipers lol
Wait, what?!
Let's see , um... ahh...wipers maybe?..? But seriously , interior!!
I'd love to do an interior, but I'm not sure I'll get the depth that I want.

Ahhhhh.... Missed that part. Gladiator then? That's a cool truck.
