Honestly, I think you should just save a few more bucks and use 7075-T6...it isn't "that" much more expensive than your other options. Plus, making a chassis out of 60 series aluminum will look good, be easy to mill, but just won't stand up to the abuse & punishment we all put our 1/8 scale buggies through.
Like Candyman said, and believe him...he knows what he is talking about and doing, 6082-T6 is beter than 6061-T6, but it is still 60-series, and costs almost as much as 7075-T6.
My $0.02 is to just get 7075-T6 and make a real chassis, one that will stand up to anything you put it through!
