tube frame

[crazynewb95]

planning on building a sandrail chassis for my rusty and i was wondering wold brass tubing be ok?
im just planing on using a micro or mini butane torch to solder.(downside of a condo)

actually 3/16 brake line tubing would be better.I also use 1/8 brass rods from home depot,eventhough you live in a condo you dont need much room as a mapp gas torch gets hot but not retina burning hot.Check out my sandrail in non crawler rc under krazykrawlers sandrail

ok i dont really want to do the mapp thing because of little experience, as long as the mini torch will work.

thanks for kind words .once you practice a little it gets ALOT easier ,trust me you will be able to braze in your sleep.Im also working on a two seater sandrail and a tube frame baja truck.Set your mind to it and u can do anything .Good luck

the only differance between a butane tourch and mapp gas set up is that the map gas will get hotter and allow you to braze heavier material.
