Unedited version...

Used clear tape to hold the bar down. ;)

I finally got the roll cage and wheelie bars done! This is about the sixth version of this part but I’m happy with the results.

I really like how the body sits level when the wheelie bar is working.

The cage is one piece of wire with no joins. It was not an easy job to make it! It clips onto the chassis so I won’t need to glue it on! The wheels for the wheelie bar are trimmed from the hub of a couple of spare HW wheels, with the hole drilled out to suit this thicker wire.

Now for the brake chute...
