Tube frames and cages

[amatuer33]

What kind of material do you use to build the frames and the cages? What do you use to weld it together? Sorry I'm new to this and want to start a project. Thanks for the help.

To answer your question. The material used to make the tube work will generally be un-coated steel Brake line (3/16) or solid steel rod and it is usually brazed.

But if you had scrolled down a bit you would have found this sub-forum
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/tools-procedures/

It's called tools and procedures.

Also the search feature is there for a reason.
If you search for Brazing, it will bring up how to do it.


Have fun.

No sense in blasting a newbie in the newbie forum.

If you are irritated by questions that can be found by searching, stop reading the newbie section
