does anyone know how to make a detailed trailer hitch (cup and ball)

If you can find a small enough R/C tie rod end, they are threaded and are as realistic as they can get. As for the reciever and the tongue....its scratch buildin time. Hope this helps.

Here's mine:

I started with a piece of 1/8" square tube, and a couple pieces of .020" sheet, along with a piece of scrap angle from the parts box and the chrome hitch ball from the F-350 kit. The hitch ball could be turned from a piece of rod stock. I fit this to the F-350, but just like 1:1, you can make it to fit any pickup frame.
