I like the looks, but here is what I have to say. 1: From what I have think I heard, copper is rather weak and will bend easy(You will need a lot of triangulation). It could be different with a body though. 2: As it will be a body, It will make the car much heavier and raise the Cg. It will be easier in the long run to make a full on tuber. |

thanks for the advice revoster But I'm mainly making this because I just want to build something and I'm tired of running my clod body on this frame all the time. I've made roll cages out of the same stuff for some scale builds, so the it should hold up fine for a body. Last edited by Defender; 08-29-2008 at 01:05 PM. | |
