Cross-RC UC6 tank hauler
Hi,
I wanted to share my latest project which is all finished bar some wiring. I started this because I bought an all metal tank and didn't want to carry it to a location where I could use it. My idea was to make a trailer that could be pulled offroad by a truck with a fith wheel coupling, so an offroad truck was required. I already had a 1/12th Cross-RC UC6 truck which was the wrong scale I know, but would be up to the job of pulling a weighty tank and trailer. With regards to the truck, I basically removed the bed with the seating etc. extended the wheel base, added a extension transfer case for the drive shafts and installed a metal fifth wheel coupling. I made a new bed to carry the battery box and a couple of barrels and a crate to house a smoke unit. The trailer is homemade, so not perfect but does the job. Here's a photo of the completed setup taken last Sunday. I'll share more photos of the trailer build later if you'd like to see them. The truck I'll do a seperate thread for to show the conversion. Thanks for watching. |

Re: Cross-RC UC6 tank hauler
Awesome truck and trailer! follow any of the tank forums? I too had to make a recovery vehicle. Used a Tammy King Hauler and modified a bruder trailer to widen it and have remote ramps. Think your next project should be a M26 Dragon Wagon..he he. Where do you run your tanks?
