post your trailers here!!

The first axle was to narrow so I did a second one only with bushings, no bearings.

I first press in the 3 bushings on one side of the tube (breakline) It may help to use another hub to alaign those bushings when pressing in.

Then put one of the moddified hubs into the tube and the other one too but in opposite direction ofcourse , then press again 3 bushing on the oter side of the tube ... The tube is now closed with bushing and has two hubs inside ...

After this you have to shake (?) the tube a little to let the hub-thread come out, pull it out further. Instal the hex-pin, hex and finally the rim.

Hope this helps.

This seems to be one of the better ways to make up some axles. Can't see too many examples at all really....

So, nothing is actually holding the bushins/bearing in?? Just the tight fit?

I think I'm going to give this a go, unless anyone else can post up some good ideas.

Cheers
 
Here's my trailer loaded up for a day on the trail.

I've got some fenders to tweak a little before I weld them on. Then a coat of paint and she's good to go.

Nice trailer and rigs! This is exactly what I want to do with my scaler, but towing a Wraith! What do you do with your tow rig and trailer while your using the rig on the trailer?
 
Boy, you guy's take this stuff too seriously! (Just kidding). I have not been into RC crawling for too long, but I am getting some great ideas for future projects if I can find the time to start them. I may have to learn how to weld or braze again though, been about 25 years since I have done any of that.

"thumbsup" to all the cool trailers and scale set-ups you guys have come up with.
 
3 of mine:mrgreen:
