ive started on the jeep / dollie for my lowboystill have a few more parts to make , but heres a preview

well guys, another one comes to a finish , couple bits here and there to go

here and update

went on vacation, just got back, also was waiting on some cylinders for the gooseneck lately it been reall busy in my shop, starting last week ive doubled my inventory , I should be working on this trailer towards the end of the week

im totally speechless here. its beautiful

home depot

I made a bracket for the belly to mount to the rear section, its made from 1/4 inch alum bar , also mounted the rear bumper , its from the king hauler kit

working on the flip extension, works really good, don't let the plastic fool you, its wrapped arround solid 1/4 inch alum bar. also instead of wooden planks, I went with a antislip tape, really nice stuff

I was looking to do something more towards a show then work trailer. rc4wd sells black and red blank rails this will be a tandem with rear flip axle, also will have a flip extension goose neck . will be making a jeep / dollie too

trailer is done, here is on back of a truck .

HEY MARC CUSTOMER BOUGHT IT JUST AS YOU SEE IT IN THAT LAST PICTURE, sorry for the caps, oops

I build scratch build 1/14 to 1/10 scale trucks and trailers. but I add electrics to them

added the cover of the rear heres a view of the hinges im using shocks here, buy you can use real hydraulics or actuactors here the trailer is done

heres the gooseneck folded down started to add more planking made the front ramps added the sides to the rear made the rear bumper

next I wanted to see how high I need to make this sit with a no load . I use 2x channel to sit under the belly . then I used a dollie up front, same as truck. leveled it out I cut the hinges for the fold down

lets get started on the belly of this beast . I need end pieces for the each end of the chassis so I used the front bumper mounts of the king / globe trucks to scale the belly is 25 1/2 inches long and 7 inches wide the c-channel is from online, 22mm high x 6mm wide next I cut the metal for the front deck. this is 11 inches long

next I started on the rear deck, here im using .080 styrene for the floor im using the stock king hauler / globeliner rear bumper. next ive added wooden planks

ive started with the suspension and rear frame . I used tamiyas trailer axles and suspension , to stay with the budget use all stock parts here you need to make the mount from the suspension to the belly of the trailer, put some weight on the chassis , then mark how high you want the trailer to sit of the ground, here I put 6 pounds on it

hey everybody for those in the 1/14 scale hobby and wants to add a lowboy to there collection , but cant afford the 1200 and up price tag. this thread will show a how-too for under 300.00usd using stock Tamiya wheels, tires, suspension and cross members. but once you go into the aftermarket parts, well, that where it will start to get pricey I bought the alum channels and plate from onlinemetals. they cut the sheets down to what size you want for like 3.00usd plastics I bought from local hobbie shops or tower hobbies I used a standard hand saw, drill, knife, 3mm and 2mm taps. for tools the low boy trailer I looking at is . it has a working folddown goose neck , really kool. ok lets get started

tamiyas rc scale

I have an r-model mack im building. haven't thought on what kind of load yet . thank you !

all painted up, she is about 99% complete

herea lowboy I just finished she is 46 inches long. 7 inches wide, made from alum and plastic the goose is a manual working

started to mount one bracket at a time, have to make sure everything will work right . so far I don't see any issues
