|  Building a chassis
Any information on building a chassis...I would like to build my own tube frame chassis, I have a fairly high mechanical knowledge and I have been building trucks (jeeps, toyotas, rock buggies, etc.) for years, but I am new to the RC Crawlers...Can anyone recommend a good build thread or some good guidelines to go by?

Thanks for the great build links...I have not found the materials used though...Does anyone know what the tubing is? Is it stainless steel brake line simply soldered together using silver solder?

some use brake line and others use solid rod. most braze the parts together, solder works but isn't as strong.
