3S = 3 Cell lipo aka 11.1v.

Not to sure about who can make that trailer....looks spendy.:cool:

3s = reference to a 3 speed transmission
Tamiya trucks come with 3 speed transmissions , as well Wedico's ( optional ),
plus most guys install gear-reductions to increase pulling power ...

what you see there in that video is not a big task ...
on flat surface you can do that with a stock Tamiya truck
when you want to pull some weight on uneven terrain , now when you need more pulling power , gear-reductions .....


just ask around here on the board , there are several guys doing custom work for others

My lowboy trailer will handle this, I know because some preschool age children have rode it. I used my blue dual motor geared down wedico pete to pull them.

any custom trailer builders here interested in taking on this project

A stock tamiya flatbed trl will carry any 100lbs kid.

thanks, i kinda want the aluminum low and wide trailer like the video

[REV73]

would it be possible for me to sit my 45 lb daughter on my box trailer and tow her around? or would it do some damage to it?? that looks like a ton of fun for a kid.

[eurocharged]

from what i hear 45-50lbs shouldn't be a problem...

[Stylin n profilin]

I dont think the box trailer will handel that.....but deffinately work on flatbed..

[ihbuilder]

I had my 2 kids On my step deck with no problem I even puled me around on it (190#) worked good till I droped down to granny while moving :eek: there went the pinion in the FWD rear :o Now that truck is set up to pull heavy equipment ;) A 100# dozer was nothing for it :D

but will just using the gear reduction with the standard tamiya motor increase the pulling power with the motor

[diesel950]

gear reduction andf standard motor will give you plenty of pulling power. my truck runs a sport tuned motor 2.5 reduction with a 17 or 19 tooth pinion,nice and slow in first with a bit of speed in second and third to keep up with other trucks with 3 trailers on.

would i need the dual motor set-up offered by garden

i hope i'm not violating any forum rules, by posting these links.. i'm new here and have no clue on how to post pics.

[eurocharged]

so does anyone know if i need the gear reduction or dual motor set-up ? to be able to pull a child (50lbs)

[petermoblin]

No need for the dual motors. One will work fine, especially if you go with a 55t-65t motor and gear reduction unit. I pulled my two children with a stock motor, stock pinion and no reduction just to see if it would and it did. I wouldn't run it like that in stock form a lot, but with a gear reduction you really should not have a problem.
