[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 736859, member: 5925"] Hey Bruno, Being in Portugal, I'd definitely look into getting to meet the guys that race and have experience in your country. Give a phone call to Caimerao, F-Racing, Emmanual Costa etc. Also, the Ultra4 race in Portugal is happening in September. Go there. Talk to the guys. Ask your questions. They will answer with the right stuff for you considering you are in Europe and the tools and material there are different from here in the USA. For tubing, you can use some TU37b (10305-4 E235+N), main tubes in 45mm OD, 3mm thickness. Chassis rails and rock rails should be done in 5mm thick minimum. You can go up to 8, after that it's really overkill. If you were to race or build a heavy buggy, you can look into stepping up to 50mm OD tubes for more strength. Same thickness. As for the "shop" comment, they don't mean it as a literal shop to buy stuff, but as a contraction to the word "workshop", ie a place to work in. [/QUOTE]
