1:10 Log Trailer
This is a scratch built log trailer, to be towed behind a 4x4 tractor I am also going to build mostly from scratch. The trailer is made almost entirely from steel, I cut all the component parts out on my mill, then got a friend to weld it together for me. The trailer has working rear lights, brake lights, and indicators. I've wired up the LEDs to an old RJ45 cable. This has a handy 8 wire plug which I can use as a quick connect / disconnect when I want to detach the trailer from the tractor (I've got an old RJ45 socket I'm going to mount on the back of the tractor and then wire into a 3racing light unit. The trailer has working bogey suspension, as well as a rotatable towing eye for traversing rough ground. I've also gone to the hassle of making dummy brake drums, which are bolted to the brat wheels
The tractor so far is just an assembleage of parts, I've got a king hauler 3 speed gearbox for it, a revo diff and housing, king hauler axle housings to make the rear axle from, and revo drive shafts to go from the rear axle to the front. I've also made custom wheel adaptors to fit the jugg wheels onto 5mm axles.
