I am new to the forum and I am pretty sure I ended up on the correct thread but if I didn't I apologize.
I have been in the hobby for a little while (about 5 years) and never really considered any kind of trailer or tow rig. Well, as many know things can change rather quickly and the local hobby shop got in a trailer kit with lights and all of that which kind of sparked my interest because I haven't really seen a whole bunch of trailers and I like to try new things. Long story short I ended up with a fully built trailer but no tow rig. As luck would have it, the next day they got in the CEN F450 dually. I was lucky enough to manage to pick one of the four up before they flew off the shelves.
I find myself trying to scale it out a bit... If I'm going to go down that road I may as well go all out. My main issue is trying to find compatible parts to "upgrade" the truck. It actually pulls plenty in stock form. I was more interested in modifying ride height and I ended up finding a few videos on youtube about RC airride kits but none of them seem to be available or they are just overly expensive for something I feel could be fabricated at a fraction of the cost.
Has anyone attempted this? It seems as if most of the information I have found was from a couple of years ago and all of the links I found (even for the pricey kits) were either dead ends or the website was no longer up.
Any input would be great. To be honest I will likely end up slamming this thing to the ground since it is more of a novelty than useful. Just thought "scraping frame" would be kind of fun... especially if I could adjust it on the fly.
Thanks in advance for any input. If I can figure out how to I will add a couple of pictures.
