im the proud new owner of a scale 53' spread axel flatbed
I got this trailer off of evil bay. I got it for a decent price, plus he gave me tons of hop ups and goodies with it. Take a look at it. The only thing I don't like is how every trailer with these trucks sits way to hi over the tandems and way to hi above it own axels. What do you guys think?

Re: im the proud new owner of a scale 53' spread axel flatbed
Thanks for all the nice comments fellas, now I'm just trying to see if anyone else has lowered there trailer to make it look more scale? I hate the gap these trucks have between the bottom of the trailer and the top of the tandems. Anyone else fix this issue before? And what did you do, I'm assuming you just remove some metal where the pin plate for the fifth wheel mounts?

I don't own a Tamiya but if you remove metal at the kingpin won't you have to lower the trailer tandems or your trailer will have rake in it?

Re: im the proud new owner of a scale 53' spread axel flatbed
Claus, I had planned on lowering the tandems and possibly making the spread larger since it isn't a scale 11 foot spread. Oztruck thanks for those tips. I'm gonna have to do that. Thanks dairyland trucker, I've seen a few of your toys also, quite impressive.

And you are guilty of not reading the whole thread I see.... Quote:
The used market as a whole is pretty slim I'm finding out. Since I missed that trailer now I'm scrambling to have something to pull, kicking myself over this screw up! I had it right there in my watch list but insist on waiting until the end to bid....

Re: im the proud new owner of a scale 53' spread axel flatbed
Truck got here today, man it's pretty! Little chrome off the bumper which he stated in the add and the exhaust stacks are fragile since they had been glued back on (also stated) but otherwise it is far nicer than I expected! Charging a battery now, gotta see it run...Bricknick my fifth wheel has marks that your trailer put there LOL!
