Can i build a go kart out of copper piping

Question

would it be too weak

its pretty thick but i dont know

Answer 1

listen pal if you have spare copper piping, you should weigh it in at a scrap yard - the price of copper has gone up three times in the last year .. if you have enough you could buy a proper go kart

Answer 2

Yeah, copper is expensive and soft.

It's never used for construction; only for its electrical qualities.

Aluminium and steel are preferred contstructive materials.

Answer 3

Sure, if you want to be the first guy in the world to die in a copper go kart.

Answer 4

Wouldn't you be better off using the copper for scrap.  I understand that scrapyards are paying a lot of money for copper.  Get the money and make your cart out of something stronger, like steel.
