Welcome to the forum. You've found a second home
Sounds like a great build Ian.
Might I suggest that you get the Tamiya Motorized Support Legs.
It allows hooking/unhooking of your trailer with the use of your radio.
Any other trailers modified with this unit can also be used with your truck once you've upgraded.
I use this system on all of my builds. I just love it!!
It brings people to a stop anytime you drop-&-hook, they just can't take their eyes off it.
