Default Double BP Tankers w/charger

Ok I did do a few more changes than just the stickers.





I added half a tire rack from a reefer trailer to each tanker and a wheel guard from a pole trailer.





Then I thought it would be cool if the tanker could "Fuel up" the trucks so a added a charger to one of the tankers






I disassembled a charger, used the cover as a template to drill and cut the rear cover of the tank. The mount for the pc board is standoff out of a computer. I also had to desolder the board for the Lipo balance plugs and relocate that and the power connections to the metal project box I mounted on the side of the traler frame.







The dolly is a modified pole trailer I added a fifth wheel.






This is the release for the fifth wheel






and a king pin to the rear bunk so I can still use it as a pole trailer




Thank you

Holy crap ! What a great idea and beautiful execution! All I saw was the tire rack, dolly and dot tape

Beautiful job on the figment and execution of the charger, the whole setup infact. Keep the updates coming and I hope as your buddy stated they get crazier and crazier.

Talking Re: Double BP Tankers w/charger

Hey Ryman, I'm used to making my fuel tanks into battery boxes , but to turn the tanker trailer into a battery charger is an excellent use of space and very inspired. B-E-A-Uitiful

I just knew that the dolly had to be a kit-bashed pole-trailer I love what you've done with the fifth-wheel plate. So many possibilities...

Thank you all for the great comments. I have a few other things in the works and once I get the bugs worked out I will post them. What do you think about painting the frame rails green to match my aeromax.
