Half round end dump trailer
I have been slowly working on this for a customer but I do plan to make this a regular production piece if there is any interest. The trailer started out as a Tamiya flatbed which I shortened slightly at the rear. The customer also wanted add a third axle so he ordered a drop axle from Exclusive RC and I mounted it up. I modified the axle assembly slightly so that it was the same width as the stock axles(duals on all axles) and everything looks just right. The box will be dumped using a screwdrive setup with limit switches. I am building another box at the same time that is slightly different. It has angled bends resembling the shape of a rain gutter. I will post up pictures of it when I get a little more done on it. It does not have a home yet and will go up for sale as soon as it's finished.
