Title: mini buggy frames again
Post by: Bug on November 16, 2009, 10:40:05 PM

Which one of these would be stronger for a frame,
not considering the roll bar, just the rest of the frame.

both materials will be   1020  DOM

1.25 @ .095     or   1.0 @ .120

Thanks guys.  New frame under construction

Yup, I agree a change in diameter almost always makes more difference than changing the wall thickness.

Might not gain much weight and it will be stiffer also.
