According to Toruk's data, the artifact red cage and the smooth flywheels are the premium cage. Nothing compares to their "dart crunch" ability and vibration control.
180 sized motors are certainly the best way to use the cage – Toruk recorded ~150 feet per second with his 3240 motors (essentially the 180 "blades" which the hellcats were modeled off of) and the artifact black plastic smooth flywheels. Stock cages and even the aluminum Dr. Snikkas cages tended to top out at ~130 fps with 180 sized motors.
The newer metal flywheels (to my knowledge) do not have much (any) data recorded on them in use. They appear to be heavier, but also are probably better balanced and might have better "dart crunch" abilities. The serrated versions also appear kind of sketchy as Worker's just kinda shred darts for a minimal gain. The metal flywheels also have hex screws that you tighten to secure to the motor shaft. I would maybe consider gluing those suckers down. Don't want shit flying around inside your cage with the wheels are spinning.
If anyone wants to correct me here, I'm interested in what's the deal with these things.
Myvenom, I am quite interested in what you discover with them. Please keep us posted!
