So i have been away for some time but i have pretty much started over. The original chassis was getting to hacked up so i started over. I got the final draft of the rear suspension underway as well as the frame cover. I also got my hands on some 3d printed rims!
-
I need help finding threaded scale bolts and nuts. Hex Allen etc... I looked at RB motion but none of their stuff appeared threaded. Any leads? Thank you
-
I have thought about doing the same thing! Awesome job!
-
I agree. I think I enjoy scratch building trailers more than building the trucks. If I get this one to come out right I think I'm going to cast it and put it on the market.
-
Thanks guys. I appreciate it.
-
thanks guys! I have a little more done already. I'm going to finish out the main body work then I'll post more pics. I'm kind of winging it on a few things because I cant find good pics. All in all I have a good feeling about it.
-
thanks! There well be mor to come soon!

Here is my attempt at a half round end dump. I got some ideas from some members on here so I decided to dive in. This is what I have so far. Used half of a old tanker that I had lying around. Angled the front and started on the sides. Let me know what you guys think so far. Thanks for looking!
-
yeah I though so lol. Sorry if it seems as if I copied you. Your build did off inspiration fo this build lol

Half round end dump help!

Thank you guys! Those are some great ideas! I think I'm going to try the thin wall pvc idea. The only tanker I have already has plans lol -
Any ideas on what to use to build the bed? Also anyone have or know where to get some sort of drawing on one. Would love to do a fearless spread axle. Thanks.

Scratch frame rails

Thank you! I'll give that a shot -
What do you guys use for 1/25 scrath frame rails? Thanks
-
thanks guys. I'm hoping to get the chassis and suspension done so I can reviel the big surprise that I got to work on this one.
-
Thank you. I made them out of the original rims. I still have a rear rim to make, then I will cast them. Cheer away, I need all I can get for what I'm doing to this build lol
-
Thnks guys. I need to make longer shackles. The front of the chassis almost sits on the ground. Thats a tad bit too low
-
I managed to get my new leaf springs and some mounting brackets done todat. I still have to make the air bag brackets made as well but that is a story for another day lol
-
Does anyone know anwhere to get a set of 16th scale low pros, or a way to mod other tires? Ive seen the ertl big farm grain trailer online that appears to have a some on it but i havent seen it in person.
-
Thanks guys. I think i have changed everything i have done a couple of times now. Im ready to be done with the chassis work so i can move on to other stuff. Lol there are plenty more ideas that i have flowing through my head. Cant wait to see it come together. I even have the trailer planned out already.
-
Thank you and watch away!
-
Working on a suspension change due to the dicision to do something special. I got some parts made and now i got the deflated bag height that i like. I think that im going to mod the front fenders more. So far there isnt anything on this truck that i havent altered in some way. Lol
-
Look awesome. Great work!
-
Thanks for the tip. I may lay some .010 brass in the rails then. Thanks i worked pretty hard on them
-
Thank you! Its been a challenge in some aspects lol
