Default Aluminum frames

How are you guys buildin these things? ive been desing a super long travel suspion frame and all but i have decided that steel would just be to heavy and I know that some of you guys have made aluminum frames for your RCs so could some one tell me how you are hooking the peices together? Im pretty sure you cant solder alumnum together like you can steel but Im not sure.

thanks

the majority of people just bolt the alumminum frames together. myself, i used 3mm hex cap screws of various lengths and locknuts.

you should not have a problem with the frame handleing the jumps. just make sure that you have some spare axle tubes on hand. The 4 link bars will likely bend before you bend the frame. i'll take some pics over the weekend and post them for you on monday of my frame. it is by no means perfect, but it works great. for some more detailed pics and great discussions visit this website:
