Working tipping trailer (custom)

Loads of work done, but, happy with the result so far.
Options & hop-ups fitted:
Oil shocks from Tamiya (56503) , you need them
Home made alloy fenders
Home made alloy spare wheel holder
Home made alloy tool rack
Modified Mercedes 1850L bike catchers & chromed
Stellamodels alloy rims
Painted in traffic yellow, added with dark green for some “style”
The actual paintjob was a disaster, have been cleaned & repainted 2 times
Before seeing this end result, that is why it actually took so long to finish the
Trailer anyway!
The trailer needs a matching tracktor, as the trailer needs
A extra battery pack & ESC for the tipping operation.

Can’t wait to test it out with a bucket load of dirt.
Chassis made in Germany,
A in small series build trailer at Tamiya size
Listed as a flatbed trailer, because i had to sacrifice
One of them for the axels & mounting hardware
This is a excellent piece of engineering, old fashion, solid German product!
And, that in the most positive way.
The loading basket is made of 3mm alloy,
and the tipping system uses a 540 size motor with
gear reduction. Again, all parts are build to last!
Note: it comes as 'basic model' , meaning you need to provide
Your own suspention & axels & finishing
------------------------------
If you are also interested in a trailer like this, you can
find the builder, Andreas at email gustchen@t-online.de
The current price is €300,- ex shippig, and i do think
It is worth every cent of it
A side note, he speaks & writes only German, so the best
way to contact him is using a German friend or try
to type in German ;)
