mini buggy frames again
« 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

1.25 @ .095 IMO
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

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.
