Default F350 Dually Towing Trailer

I just about got my trailer finished up so I took it out for some testing hauling my work in progress Sand Scorcher around.

Grave1 the dually wheels are Tamiya semi truck wheels (12mm hex) that are pressed inside a hollowed out 1.9 HPI rim, then glued on the back side. Doing this lets set your back spacing to get as much wheels under the fenders as you can.

These are the wheels I used



Cut the spokes out of the HPI wheel and press the Semi wheel inside of it





Hope that helps you

Here's a pic of the first trailer I did using the same design, it's just a simple single pivot design.

Very nice rig you have there. Looks like you have a nice playground as well.

Do you happen to have the part numbers for the Semi Wheels (front and back, and the HPI Wheels you used?

This is awesome... very much like what I've been planning to do with my F350, and a trailer for my crawler... Very good work... Would love to see a build thread for both the F350 and the trailer...
