Tri-axle bottom dump
 
Well it's time to add a trailer to the fleet. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/013-1.jpg Used a reefer frame and suspension. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aliner/014.jpg Painted the chassis red to match the mack. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...aliner/015.jpg Aluminum rims with the hubs painted red. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/001-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/004-1.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/003-1.jpg

Looking real nice, as stated above the red really pops and the wheels look great.

Are those stock tamiya trailer leafs? They look shorter than normal and almost like the length I need... Hope to find their regulars then I can go pick up what I need for my build, and maybe finish something lol.

Thanks Dan. Yup those are stock tamiya springs for the reefer,and yes the are shorter then the ones on the tractors and only have one eyelet and the other end is a U shape so the spring can slide in the equalizer.hope that helps.

No you did good with the red buddy, it matches perfectly with the tractor obviously and although they are technically a working type tractor/trailer, it's a total show stopper. Be proud.
