Re: Sheet Metal Fabrication vs. Using Channel

For the last 6 years our drive train was c-channel. We have done one and two level chassises for complex designs.
The channel is quick to put together snap together, easy to mount to(just need to make spacers for the inside so it clod rant get pinched), and not all to heavy.(can always still wide holes to take out weight)

We may switch to sheet metal or tube design chassis next year if we can get access to the cnc machine.
