Re: Best frame building material

I wise engineer once told me two things
1. There is no Best material, there are Right Materials.
2. Use the right application for whatever your material is.

Ok so time for what i think of Chassis materials, from the extensive research i've done at competition I have found that combinations are the best way to go, making a frame all out of one material is inefficent. Also Extruded Aluminum is a proven FIRST chassis material.
