Tamiya 40' Trailer buildup
As promised, here is the buildup of my 40' container trailer.

Re: Tamiya 40' Trailer buildup
Yes, Big John,
The hook ups are my own custom mods that I do for all my rigs. I use Miniatronic 4 pin connectors from internettrains.com http://www.internettrains.com/mercha...=MNT-50-004-01

Re: Tamiya 40' Trailer buildup
Great idea with the light hook ups, but they are backwards. Red should be on the driver side and blue on the pass.

petermoblin,
Really? I did not know that there is a standard for the air lines. Live and learn.... Thanks, Alan

Re: Tamiya 40' Trailer buildup
Thanks for the pictures on the build. From what I can tell it looks like a great kit. The only thing is trimming of the vacuum formed container parts looks like it could be a little bit of fiddly work, but I never enjoyed trimming the vacuum formed lexan bodies for my other RC trucks to much. The trailer frame and suspension looks well done. Not a bad looking model at all.

Re: Tamiya 40' Trailer buildup
Well, there are a lot of repetitive steps and some painting. I worked on it at a medium pace for about 8 days. (40-50 hours) The results were worth it.
