I really like cage buggies, and the look of the original Ultima has really gotten a hold of me lately, but I don't have one of the cages. I did have this old FAV cage lying around that I had bought before the rere FAV and Wild Ones had come to be. Due to the rere, I cnacelled the wild one project I ahd been working on, so this cage was collecting dust...until now.

Still have some work to do but I think you get the idea...

I like it.

Caged Outrage!

Very different i must say.

What wheels are they? Looks like Ofna CRT.5 on the rear but what did you use up the front? Maybe Duratrax?

Looks great just sitting there, but how are you going to plan to mount & secure it? Someday I want to build a custom RWD using Optima-series & Ultima parts I have lying around and a part-rollcage/part Lexan body is something I'm considering. I'd probably use steel brake/fuel line though.

Interesting project

Yeah, it is an Outrage right now, I plan to update the chassis to something else at some point...It's all I had for a foundation.

I do still have to work out the mounting points of the cage, as well as what to use for a body. I mocked up something w/ cardboard, then replicated it in thin kydex, but I'm not so satisfied with it....yet.

Mark, they are the duratrax wheels. I haven't had any issues with durability....of course I don't race, and haven't really been running my cars that much at all, period. I modded a set of rc10 axles to work with some tamiya hornet knuckles and the stock ultima caster blocks... Just getting creative with what I had on hand.
