Half round end dump trailer

[RCP57]

Thanks Rob. I think it is lifting very well now. I tried one more test using 7.2V just to see if it would still lift the same weight. It does it without a wimper! Of course the speed is much slower but that may be a decent compromise over running a dedicated battery for the trailer itself.

I'm finally making some headway on the second one of these I am building. Does this look OK so far Alex?

looks like my 2016 mac steel only missing 2 more axles

[RCP57]

Well I spent a few hours welding things together on this one today. I still have to finish the front part of the fenders and some welding here and there but the tub is nearly finished.

[bigford]

looks real good reg, it will look ever better polished up

[RCP57]

This one will be powder coated black. I am looking forward to see how that looks. I think it will look nice with the silver anodized frame.

Great job on the trailers. Your builds are awesome.

Unless DieselKid has some last requests, I think this one has finally made it to the finish line. Alex will be adding lights to the rear panel and such so that will really set it off. I am really happy with the way this turned out.

Quick walk around video. I wish it was sunny but that's just not in the cards today. http://youtu.be/SQPm74P4fRc

Photos to come.

Thanks Ed. I think the powder coating makes it look very realistic. I wish I had a truck to put under it and a parking lot with real semi's. I think it would blend right it.

[RCP57]

Hey right on fuzzy! Good to know it made it safe. Can't wait to see it behind that Grand Hauler all prettied up!

Here's another half round trailer. This one is using simulated air ride suspension and axles from rcbrmin. I believe it will be receiving a custom paint job and some other flashy parts once the owner gets it.

Thanks Terry.

For those that had expressed an interest in buying one of these trailers, I am currently building three of them on modified Tamiya flatdeck chassis'. These will be finished similar to Alex's trailer with flaps, ladders and powder coating. If someone wants one and has some additions they would like to add that can be discussed. Price if finished as planned will be $1250US plus shipping. I am not entirely sure when these will all be finished but I am shooting for sometime in September. If you want to claim one let me know and I will take a small deposit.

Thanks very much, Reg

reg is that 1250. readyto work?
