Re: Best frame building material

For a few years, 177 used 80x20 aluminum as a frame material. Our engineers refered to it as an adult's erector set. The pieces fit together easily and quickly without any welding, and it is very easy to change the fram if you decide that you want to mount something in a different place. Since you can assemble a base fairly quickly it gives your drivers more time to practice.
