ryanbored 3 Posted July 25, 2008 Seeing as you're not having much luck I'd search the showrooms and PM owners directly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted July 25, 2008 Just a thought. Why doesn't Tamiya put out a Trailer Kit for 1/10? Unless they don't know which model the trailer should get hook up to as the XC is not a regular staple item and we are left to some how built our own .

owsey15 0 Posted July 29, 2008 hi, started to make a trailer i am pleased with it (it is my first), i dont know what to use for the flooring either mesh type stuff or solid stuff any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiggusDitchus 38 Posted July 29, 2008 Take yourself down to B & Q they have various different meshes. http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/skins/po...p?skuId=9228353 Best bit is the sheet is less than 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m.l.field 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Here's mine Car transporter Side view Top view and Sankey As Biggus said the mesh on mine was from B&Q, think it was about 5-7 for a sheet big enough to do 2 trailers. The chassis on both of mine is steel U and angle welded together, Sankey body is styrene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeG8 1 Posted December 15, 2008 I hammered together a trailer also, very similar to others, it would seem. I too used B&Q (Home Depot in the US) for aluminium angle and it is all bolted (M2 socket head) and rivetted. It was fun to build and came together quite well. I went for the 'beaver tail' style so I could drive my Viper on and off without bothering with ramps. It does affect ground clearance, but my own 1:1 beaver tail always grounded and so did every other one I borrowed when I used to race off road (long time ago, another life). To be honest, it is a little too wide, but it ain't too bad. If I did it again, I'd make it a little narrower (only a few mm) and make it a tilt bed (pivot in the centre) with a servo to raise and lower the bed. These pics show it unfinished. It now has side rails and a front rail, again all aluminium and bolted. This is NOT a good idea: ever tried drilling and tapping M2 threads in 4mm dia rod? I reckon plastic rod and section would be fine for a lot of it. The top platform is thin ply. The axles are on a walking beam type arrangement to ease off road towing. I've just order a Pajero MTW which will be getting a tow hook, HD rear springs and an LRP truck puller as my current tow vehicle is actually a re-bodied Baja King (=not ideal!).

spencertrax 23 Posted December 16, 2008 My version Aluiminum angle, pop rivits a little scrap plywood and some worn out tires. It works great IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
