No doubt...Spudd and I are quite eager to get our trailers!

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I'm eager for you guys to get them too! I think you both have another sleep or two before that happens though.:D

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I just wonder what customs and duty charges are
I got a email from ups saying there are charges owed

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I can't say. It seems to be totally random when I order stuff into Canada from the US. To my knowledge no one in the US has paid any duty on stuff I've shipped but I think UPS does charge some sort of fee. I think Benny said he paid less than $20 but I could be wrong.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

when I received my trailer it was only $20

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Hopefully that is all anyone pays. Near as I know there shouldn't be duty on toy car parts but they could stick you with State/Federal tax on the items value. I always ship smaller, less valuable items(under $1000CAD) through the postal service as they don't charge a "fee" like UPS but you still could get charged tax. In order to ship the trailers with insurance they have to go using a courier.:(

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Ok UPS just dropped a box off. Not to bad $25.25 in duties
now I just have to get time to un pack it

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I am happy to hear that!:bounce::bounce: Does it look like the package is OK?

Hurry up and unpack it!!! All that time spent telling me to work night shift on it to get it done and now you don't have time to open the box???? What the????:lol:

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

got it opened!!!!!!!!!!
you sure know how to package for a safe trip. Very well packaged.
Way better then expected!!!!!!!!!!! Very nice job and should be a breeze to polish
I am a happy camper for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will get a better look at it tonight after I close shop

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Good stuff Scott! I'm glad it got there safe and sound! Now get it shined up and show us some pictures!

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Ladies and gents I just recieved my meticulously packed half round dump trailer from Reg, I am totally satisfied and amazed at the quality and attention to detail from him. If you are having reservations about purchasing one......have non! I have seen a lot of handcrafted pieces from many guys and girls and I will put RCP's trailers right at the top. Be proud of your skill Reg!!!! The humbleness of your talents/skill only helps accelerate you to top the top of the builders in this hobby. Great work!!

Ben

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!! the detail and workmanship is top notch.This is very high quality for a very low price.Reg is a very stand up guy and very meticulous in his work.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Thanks for the kind words guys! I'm very happy that you both like your trailers. I enjoyed working with you both and hope we can do more projects together in the future.

PS, I guess yours will be way more expensive next time Scott.lol

Guess the manufacturer better start working longer days and weekends...

Re: Half round end dump trailer

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

So true, so true....:rolleyes:

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

i just thought you would like to see the power unit

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Ben-

Any pics of your new Reg built HR dump trailer?

-Terry

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Possibly this weekend. Not sure. I don't have it all wired up yet? The trailer is turnkey as you know....but trying to cram another speed-control and more battery power in this little Mack cab is a pain!!

Ben

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

any updates on the trailer reg?

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I finally finished this one up today. It is ready for powder coat and a new owner. I can drill holes for lights upon request. I finished this one slightly different than all the rest. Changes were made to the fenders, rear panel, and I added one big solid mudflap instead of three.

If anyone is interested let me know and I will pass on the details.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I think the 3 look better.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

3 Flaps better than one? This is missing something on the rear for sure so I will fix that tomorrow. Not sure if I will change the flap to flaps. I guess if someone comes along with the money they can have it however they want(within reason). For now it's mine!lol

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

yeah but that's just my opinion and you know what the say about opinions lol

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Just like belly buttons and ...///// everybody has one.lol I just wanted to try something different. I don't love it or hate it but... I saw a couple of trailer pictures on the net that had one big flap so I thought why not?lol I think it needs a spill plate added and maybe some light holes. That will make the "flap" fit in more i think. There's another one of those "opinions".:lol::lol:

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Every time I see a dump truck in the street now I always look at it. Looking for more ideas lol.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

And one became three... I like this much better and it keeps it different than the previous trailers.:)

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

drill some tail lights thats why the rear looks off
and there is no ash pan installed
http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/...psdqyaqtl9.jpg

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I left the rear panel straight on this one because I think 000 ooo 000 would look perfect but until a buyer comes along I won't be drilling anything just in case they have a different vision. There's only one persons opinion that really matters and that's the one with cash in hand.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

I was messing with my Mack conversion today and I wanted to see what it looked like with a trailer in tow. I think it looks good but the trailer would look better finished and behind someone else truck.

Thanks for looking.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

looking good!!! nothing like a hard working mack

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Just out of curiosity how long are they. When I first saw these 1/14 truck i always thought they were small until i finally saw one in person. I know the Grand Hauler takes up the size of my dresser. So I wonder how long a truck n trailer combo would be. Especially since I've never seen a trailer now in person. Have to stop looking at this thread. Getting regrets for returning the 2nd Grand I bought for a daycab and dump trailer project I had planned.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

The one in the picture is 28 1/2". The first one I built was on the same chassis but the tub was shorter with frame sticking out the front. The biggest I have built is Benny's tri-axle at 36" That maxes out my bender and slip roll so I can't build anything bigger than that without joining pieces together. The size of the last few seems to be the most practical to me but it doesn't really matter what I think only what I can build for the customer.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

mine should be the same as bennie's with 4 axles

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Ok so maybe scrubbing that project was a good idea. Storing 3 sc rigs, 1 crawler, all my rc related stuff and now the Grand and the tag trailer is already taking up space in my apt.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Ben was kind enough to share this video of his and Alex's trucks/trailers with me yesterday. It looks like they were having a great time at the show and it was really cool for me to see both trailers together. Thanks guys!

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

Bump! This one needs the finishing touches and a new home. Any takers? $1250US plus shipping. That will include holes for tail lights and powder coat finish.

Re: Half round end dump trailer
 

You won't regret it if you buy it! Great trailers and very robust!
