I did not like using the mounting tabs provided on the RC Solutions cage because I do not feel they provide enough support for the body, especially in the back.
I was able to use the stock Savage body mounts simply by cutting out a little of the front body mount as you can see here.
You can see in this pic that removing the portions from the mount allows it to sit low enough so that it allows you to secure the body mount with the body clips in the lowest holes, while still being high enough to clear the cage mounting tabs.
In the rear, you simply need to have the body mount installed before attaching the cage. I adjusted the mount so that it touches the bottom of the cage rail. I added Traxxas body washers to add a little extra support in the back were it is needed the most.
Here are some pics to show how the body looks on the mounts.
So that is it. This little trick allows you to use the stock body mount locations on the body and to add support in the rear of the body where it is much needed. As a note you will need and should still use the side mounts on the cage for the extra support they provide.
Thanks for Reading!!
