RC Roll Cage

Shop RC roll cages, replacement cages and protective chassis components for a wide range of radio-controlled cars, trucks, buggies and off-road models. Roll cages are designed to provide additional protection to the vehicle during rollovers, crashes, jumps and other impacts while also adding a realistic scale appearance.

Available in a variety of designs, materials and configurations, RC roll cages can be used as replacement parts, upgrades or scale accessories depending on the vehicle and application.

What Does an RC Roll Cage Do?

A roll cage provides structural protection around the upper section of an RC vehicle. During a rollover or crash, the cage can help protect important components such as:

• Body panels
• Driver figures and interiors
• Electronics
• Roof and upper chassis components
• Engine or motor components
• Other exposed vehicle parts

Roll cages are particularly common on rock crawlers, rock racers, short course trucks, desert trucks, trophy trucks and other off-road RC vehicles.

Types of RC Roll Cages

RC roll cages are available in different styles to suit various vehicles and applications.

Internal Roll Cages
Mounted inside the vehicle body, internal cages provide additional protection while maintaining the external appearance of the vehicle.

External Roll Cages
Mounted around or outside the body, external cages provide protection and often form an important part of the vehicle's scale appearance.

Full Roll Cages
Designed to provide extensive protection around the cab and upper chassis area.

Replacement Roll Cages
Direct replacement cages designed to replace damaged or worn original equipment.

Scale Roll Cages
Designed primarily for realistic appearance and scale detailing, while often providing additional protection at the same time.

Materials

RC roll cages may be manufactured from materials such as:

• Steel
• Aluminium
• Stainless steel
• Composite materials
• Plastic or moulded polymers

The material and construction method will affect the cage's strength, weight and appearance.
