Re: Best frame building material

Team 598 used a carbon fiber shell with Kevlar for support. That is really smart because both materials are very strong and very light. We use 60601 T6 aluminum but thats only becuase we do a lot of welding onto the frame and its the best application we have found. Just the right strenght and its light enough.
