Default What do you use for tubing?

I want to build a scale crawler, and i wanted to know what kind of tubing you all use and how you put them together? I wanted to wire feed it but I didn't know if that would just add to much weight or?

Thanks,
Tyler

I use brake line and silver solder with a MAP torch. Don't know if you can MIG the brake line might be to thin but I'm sure one of the other builders will respond.

I use a combo of solid 3/16 and brake line, I only braze the brake line but the solid holds up good to MIG welding.
