Oh, oh! That doesn't look good!

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

It's all fun and games with RC trucks and wreckers but your right, that can't be good or cheap!:eek::cop:

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

dammmmmm reg i just seen the video WOW!!!
i must have missed it while posting the wrecker pic
WOW!!!!! you the man!!!

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

OK good! I was thinking to myself "I hope he doesn't hate it cause he didn't say anything".lol I drilled the tail light holes, slots for tailgate latches and I'm about to see how to attach the spill plate. After that I will be moving on to the ladders.

What happened to the 1:1?

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

filters froze up. fuel guy left the hatch open on the fuel tank
a few weeks back and water got in. and with running low on fuel
i must have sucked up enough water to freeze up.

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

Fuel guy bad!:cop:

A small update. Tail light holes drilled, spill plate lightly glued in place(might need to come up a bit?), and the front flap mounts made.

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

reg is the steerable axle as wide as the regular axle? back pan looks real nice

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

Yes it appears to be very close to the same width especially with the super single tires. It always wants to flop over to the right for some reason and I sometimes forget to straighten it out for pictures. I'm not sure how to go about making it turn the correct direction while being towed. It probably needs some soft springs pulling on it from side to side to keep it straight. It looks like there might be room to install a lift servo if you were so inclined to do so...

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

Reg , look at steering stabilizer shocks with coil over spring. Will try and take a picture of my training wheels tomorrow .
Cheers!

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

Hello Reg If you put a light spring across the tie rod it will self steer. Ed

i'm thinking this is going to be my favorite new toy

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

I like that High lift tailgate.

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

This is coming out really nice Reg.

Re: Flat bottom half round trailer
 

Thanks guys! I'm glad you are liking it Mark. Hopefully it serves you well.

Here's a little update. It doesn't look like much is happening but this trailer is eating up more time than I thought it would. I like how it's turning out though so I'm not grumpy yet.lol

I added some springs to the steer axle. They aren't super pretty but they are mostly out of sight and they keep things straight. I finally finished up the flaps and mounts as well as the gate latches. Next up will be the ladders and then the tarp...
