Trailer build, maybe a little much...

They offered $400, and I told them they could have that one, or I could make one to their specifications.

And powering those rear axles would be a bear!! There would be a 48" driveshaft!

I would have taken my trucks off right then and there, taken the money and went home and built myself another with all the other stuff you learned or wanted to add.

Good job dude.

use a separate motor and esc and battery on the trailer use the moa radio setings then you could adjust the push from the trailer motor to your liking you could even set up trailer breakes lol you would just need a really long exstention cable run to the reciver make the plug at the hitch and away you go

I wanna see that wedge!! I've got some short course tires that I could've used, it didn't even dawn on me to use them!

Got a wedgie?

Sorry, I couldn't resist on the title. The latest build is just that, a wedge trailer. Here is a pic of one version, this trailer build will be a fusion of a few different ones I've seen pics of. Here is what it looks like so far..... 20200521_145400 by MAC FAB, on Flickr...

Carries 20+ lbs of scratch builds as if there were nothing on it.

@MAC FAB That is killer!!! I tried to teach myself how to weld thin aluminum but I gave up!

Here is the result of some poking and prodding from a friend of mine. He's been on to me for the last three or four years to build a trailer. I finally had some free time and made my way to the steel supplier. It's built using 1/2" box tubing and expanded metal for the top. All of it is tig welded, and I used some Scale Metal Supplies gussets in a few places. I use my SCX6 to pull it. It's just over 68" x 11" wide, and the dovetail on the end allows my crawlers to climb on without the use of ramps. I used some Traxxas slash rear hubs, bearing and Traxxas trailer axles for the wheels. Crawler Innovations recommended some foams since the stock foams from a 10.3 was not happy with all of that weight on it. Let me know what you think!!

Pretty cool idea, I like how it came out.
