Trailer (from) Trash!
Got bored one day and thought to myself, which on its known is dangerous 'I wonder how easy it would be to build a trailer for my XC to pull'?. Well the answer is this! With NO plans or any idea I popped down to my LMS and picked a bag full of Plastruct parts, went home and set about making this trailer. This is version 1.0 and I could have made it better, it still needs some finishing off but not much. It can take anything from a M03 Mini, 200mm tourer and even the XC itself! If there was enough interest I may find the time to make a set of plans so anyone could make one.

Nice! You have just inspired me. What is plastruct? Is is just some scrap plastic? Should I know this being in this hobby? What did you use for the diamond plate?I want to make one, you made it look so easy. Working with plastic has got to be easier than working with metal. By the way, the Lancia looks sweet.

Dog, type plastruct in towerhobbies website and see what you get
Andy, sounds like a fun game, next project should be a caravan then!
I'd be very much interested in buying a set of plans,although Iam not a tamiyaclub memember I do enjoy building all sortsof radio controlled models apart from tamiya ones, the trailer would be perfect edition for my high lift,hope to hear from you soon.

Very nice trailer! Extremely good work!
Nothing beats a fun custom project.
Looks good enough to make a few more then make yourself a bundle on ebay sir!
Man i love the simplicity of this build. It looks strong and looks as though most folk should be able to build it ! I have been looking into building one for ages but most folk keep there ideas build tips to themselves can i ask what you used for the chequer plate ? i'm realy interested in your plans fella. Cheers for the revitalised inspiration. BRUCIE.
