Re: Chassis Material
It's hard to compare the strength of these materials fairly if you just go by the tensile strength rating. You need to consider the strength to weight ratio, for the complete frame structure. Since you design the frame based on what material you're using, you will have a different frame design for each material.
Wood works, fiberglass works, aluminum works, steel works. We've used them all except aluminum before, but we might use the kit frame this year.
As mentioned, at this point in the build season, you're probably better off using what you know how to work with.
