Default Re: Bob's M1070

Update on the fifth wheel. I ordered the one from Joe and it got to me today. It IS $30 cheaper, but it isn't the same fifth wheel at all. They both sit at about the same height, and are both made of metal. On the one Joe sells, the plate is a bit shorter in length, and most importantly, the plate can only pivot fore-and-aft, like the stock Tamiya one does. There is no spring in the pivot; just the weight of the 'tails' makes the rear of it pivot down. On the one I posted, it can also pivot side-to-side, which is what I want for it to be able to do for an off road truck. Both directions are spring-loaded, so that the tails stay down and the side-to-side comes back to center. Joe's is nice, but not as suitable for off road builds as the more expensive one. -Mike
