I would go with the 0.125" inch 7075. That alloy is MUCH stronger than 6061 so it kinda makes up for being harder to cut.

I would say go with 7075-T6. 7075-0 is soft like a butter. The "T6" indicates that it has been heat treated- meaning that its much harder and stronger. about the thickness, .125" should be good enough since that is what other major buggies and truggies are using.
Plus 7075-t6 is about twice stronger than 6061-T6.
