HI All
It is built from scratch. The main seleton is aluminium and clad in plasticard for detail. Is articulated at the rear of the trailer with a separate steer system.

Here are some more photos from my website.

No all the parts are machine screw and bolt.

Johnboy, I never get tired of looking at your trucks and trailers.:)I'm amazed at how much detail you put into your builds.:eek:BTW, did you ever remember where you got the led's under the truck from? I've been searching, and haven't found any place that carries them.:(

Thanx, Big John

Hi John
I can't remember where I got mine from as they were bought by my son for his RC 1:10 ages ago. However, there are some identical on ebay, they are advertised as green but I am sure there are other colours as well if you contact the seller.

The link is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Neon-Undercar-Light-Kit-Green-fits-HPI-Tamiya-Kyosho-/170791185419?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item27c3f2ac0b

or seacrh ebay on item number 170791185419

I think that is one of the best looking and functioning trailer designs I have seen on here. And i have seen some amazing trailers here so that is saying something.
Excellent work.

Those first couple pics didn't do it any justice compared to the others you put up. Your work is simply amazing. It is so nice to see a jeep set up properly for once as well. How many hours do you think you envested into the complete build?

Hi
Thanks for all the kind words it is much appreciated.
The complete build so far including the tractor units is around 12 months. That is working most weekends on it.

But I have also been working on other projects along side it as well so I wouldn't like to guess how many hours :)

This is one awesome trailer. I was impressed with it on Scale 4x4, but it's good to see it over here too. Can't really get enough of a good thing, you know!
