Tubular chassis?

[Oily]

Just throwing this idea out there,how hard would/could it be? Is there any part of the chassis that couldn't use tube,like the wishbone mounting points etc?

(Tried searching but came back blank on the forum.)

Next time you are at a show, have a good look at the MNR chassis.
If you wanted to build your own round tube chassis, the MNR one is the standard you should be looking to emulate

Roadrunner racing do a round tube chassis also with their SR2

It's been a while since i have been on here but on my chassi i used tube on the top of the tunnal to make the edgees nice and soft and i was then going to make a one peace grp panal that drops over the top so it dosnt have any seems and i also have plans to make another chassi in 316 polishd stainless steel tube i just think it would look so cool

Thanks for the replies.Just had a look at the above,very nice

Just flicking through the book and trying to see where you would struggle in any areas if a tube chassis was the order of the day.

I dont think you would have any probs just the fact that you would have to fishmouth most tubes where they meetand it would consume a lot of time.Unless you have access to a lathe which would make it easier.
