monster truck frame.
After a thought, dad and i are looking into building a LARGE R/C monster truck, powered by a quadra 53 by chance. We were thinking of using steel "conduet" not sure if i spelt it right. But has anyone tried it or know of a pattern i could use to build this large frame, i would like to build a frame like a real monster truck, but its a thought right now.

If its pretty big (like 1/4 sclae) thin (conduit) from home depot will work. If it will be smaller brake line for real cars will work better. The frame design is pretty simple. the sides are flat and joined by cross tubes. The suspension links attach at the bottom protruding parts. Look at a txt-1 frame its a pretty good model. Steering tie rods from a gokart work good for suspension links. For diff cases/axles your on your own ive never solved that my self
