keone2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hi guys. I'm in the process of planning out my next build. A double sleeper Lonestar. What do you guys think? Should I make it a tri axle or leave it as it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You know, in this hobby, anything goes. Unless you want to build something that is realistic and know what the truck is going to be used for. Is this going to pull some heavy duty stuff over a long distance? Have fun with it and make what YOU want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsbooks Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Making it about me (and my Nebraska days) always fond of dolled out big bunk tri axles pulling tri axle cattle trailers. Large, loud and proud.....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirich1 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I would say that big of a sleeper warrants a tri-axle setup on the rear, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck parts Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I like the way it's built now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooltas Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 why not go big or go home ad about a scale foot to the frame wen you do the tri axle......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keone2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 why not go big or go home ad about a scale foot to the frame wen you do the tri axle......... Ok. I'm not sure what a scale foot is. How many inches is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Ok. I'm not sure what a scale foot is. How many inches is that? That would be 1 foot =12 inches then divided by 25 (for 1:25 scale of the model) so: 12/25= .48 inch or near 15/32 inch. In other words, if you are able to do so, stretch the frame by 15/32 of an inch. (or a little more for better proportions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
