Default Tri-axle bottom dump
Well it's time to add a trailer to the fleet. Used a reefer frame and suspension. Painted the chassis red to match the mack. Aluminum rims with the hubs painted red.

Very nice trailer. The red hubs really brings out the wheels, and the frame painted to match the truck looks super, way to go.

Looking real nice, as stated above the red really pops and the wheels look great.

Are those stock tamiya trailer leafs? They look shorter than normal and almost like the length I need... Hope to find their regulars then I can go pick up what I need for my build, and maybe finish something lol.

Thanks Dan. Yup those are stock tamiya springs for the reefer,and yes the are shorter then the ones on the tractors and only have one eyelet and the other end is a U shape so the spring can slide in the equalizer.hope that helps.

No you did good with the red buddy, it matches perfectly with the tractor obviously and although they are technically a working type tractor/trailer, it's a total show stopper. Be proud.
