Following on from this thread.
I've just looked in the book and i got it wrong. It says 16swg steel (1.6mm), but the thinnest wall i can find is 2mm. Im a bit confused. Can anyone help?

I hope you mean 2.0mm!!

I had same prob. My chassis has been built from 25x25x2mm erw and 19x3rhs and 25x2rhs

it is probably much too heavy for the BEC ppl (only joking) but i aint racing it!!!

Given your heavy engine a little extra strength won't hurt!
