Well been thinking this one over for a few weeks now and since i wanted one for behind the super hopper and I wanted a single axle trailer for the cracker box I jumped in this morning and by 12:00 this is what i ended up with..

The main body is made out of 1/4 PVC sheet all glued with 143 Fuser glue then I made all the alum edges and rails and glued them on too very solid trailer all I got left to do is some detail and the dolly..

Ok so I used the Fusor 143 witch is a plastic to plastic panel glue but it will bond to alum if you want to bond metal to metal like a weld you want to use there 108 threw 126 depending on how fast you want it to dry.

That is just about the coolest little rc truck I ever did see.

Thanks much Rene..

Your not going to hear about it unless you talk to a auto body guy you have to get it from a body shop supply house. Now a day 1/4 panels and door skins and roof skins most are glue on with Fusor or 3m..
