Trailer

[ScottA32754]

i am thinkin about making a trailer using sheet metal and a thick screen type material. hopefully i can find a small welder or torch to keep it together. its gonna fit 2 cars and im either gonna use the new Titan or an F-150 to haul it. Im thinkin fifth wheel. its gonna be flat bed and hopefully have taillights. there might be short sides and the back is gonna have a flip down ramp.

im still waiting for the materials so if any one has any other ideas i look into adding them onto the trailer

What does fifth wheel means?

maybe little wooden planks for the top of the bed make it look realistic :D definatly put the xmod wheels on it so its pimpin, and maybe paint the metal to match the truck. :colglma: Also you should make some kinda release lever and pully system for the gate lol just borrow it all from lego or something. :p

i found old tires from a remote control semi that i got a long time ago from shaws ill have a pic of those when i get my camera. its a single tire molded to look like dual tires, there about 1.5 cm wide and 3 cm tall with chrome wheels.

you can try making a fifth wheel by using a ball-end from a 1/10 hobby-grade car and connecting your XMODS to the trailer by a two ballcups and a turnbuckle from a 1/10 as well.

are u going to hitch to your hummer? i was wondering how cuz i have a hummer too

I was thinking about it but i have my hummer too high and i want to mount it to a stock height truck, i think that ill probly use a Titan with Neo mags, cheap Atomic engine, 9-25 gearing, and metal bearings. I might have to get the 4WD upgrade because the trailer is going to be about 20 inches long.


For the Tire situation i found a way to use gen 1 parts so i can mount 4 tires and be able to switch them.
I've been experimenting with suspension and found a way to make each tire have dual independant suspension, again when i get a camera ill post pics of that. For tires i have the Mud Terrains but i can swap them fo the stock hummer tires if i need to lower it. Im estimating the clearence with these tires to be 2.5cm

Ive decided that i must make the trailer with wood. i still wanna try to make one with sheet metal in the future but i dont have the right tools and i havent found any yet. so the next one will definitely be made of it

Tomorrow i should be getting a saw so ill be able to mount the wheels
