starting to build a 2.2 class 3 scale rig

[dondraper25]

It was covered earlier, but I have to say it again, it's your rig, build it to your spec. The best advice I can give to anyone that is just starting out is to just buy some tube and start bending it up and MIG / TIG / Brazing it together. If you screw up, fix it and learn from it. If I had spent the money on a one and done chassis like y'all are talking about, I wouldn't have experienced the excitement of building something and bring it out for testing. Then completely destroying it, only to bring it back in and rebuild it better. But that's me. Some like the one and done stuff.

I use 3/16" brake line on all my builds. Just my two pennies.

I agree with Dondraper25. I get more excited building MYSELF rather than letting someone build something for me. While it can be overwhelming at times its easy to take a step back and gather yourself before continuing. There's nothing more gratifying when people are googling over a custom job that I built from scratch. I've always liked the motto "built not bought!!" I made plenty of mistakes starting out but with every mistake was a learning platform for improvement. While I'm no mg200 I now have enough confidence in my own abilities to at least try building something myself rather than just buy it built...

Thank you for these encouraging words.
