Default Re: scale trailer

something about building trailers. The Tamiya trucks are not necessairy properly proportional. Therefore measure your truck to be sure it not only works but also that it looks "right".

Also - the space from outside of frame rail to outside of frame rail is different for the trailers than it is for the trucks. SO if you plan to use a flat bed for a donor trailer for things like axels and suspension - buy the trailer early so you have it to measure. I sugget you partialy assemble it so that you get a better understanding of the relationships of the width, etc for the right look ......
