Default Re: Hobbs Reefer From a Tamiya Semi Trailer

Thanks! I think if I did it again, which I will to the other box trailer, I would move the axles further back another half inch or so. Did you find Hobbs Anti-Sail decals for the mudflaps? I am thinking I am going to need to stencil them on.

Here are photos of the modification to the axle location and shocks.





Above the mudflaps are the clamping bars that came with the aftermarket aluminum mounts but they needed to be much wider to emulate the Hobbs flaps.



P.S. There is a 20 minute limit to editing posts on this board so I couldn't embed them into the original thread. Sorry about the order of photos.
