what meterial to build chassis from

[bjo44]

hey just wondering what material to build 1/8 scale chassis from thanks

I used 6x1mm acid resistant tube in my Digger's frame, so I'd use something close to that size on a 1/8 scale build.

3/16 is about 4.8mm, so it's maybe slightly on the small side, but it'll do. You get the best result if you use different sizes of tube. Like make most of the chassis from bigger tube, and add some smaller pieces here and there for added realism(I regret a little that I didn't build my Digger chassis like that...).

Although, I wouldn't use brake line, because it's just too soft if you ask me!
