Which is Better metal or composite materials for the chassis
We're a rookie team and we were finalizing the chassis design and were wondering what material is better for a chassis aluminum or composite materials. It looks like that in the past, alluminum has been the material of choice but we were wondering if anybody has tested composites and if they work better.
Thank you for any advice you might have on this subject.
