View Full Version : Updated crawler trailer
Being inspired by all here, I updated my trailer I built some time back with a new left suspenstion, sliding ramps, and a few more scale items. Any feedback would be great. Thanks!

I don't think words can describe how much I am drolling right now:shock: all 3 of those rigs are scale-rific! <<< made that word up myself.:lol:
The interior and scale details on the jeep, wow, would love to see more pics.
The trailer, stickers, hitch, chains, ramps, lights, all of it amazingly scale.
The Bruiser, who doesn't love a perfectly restored bruiser, awesome work on all of them, I look forward to more of your posts and threads in the future."thumbsup"

nice trailer, i too love the mud flaps"thumbsup"
Thanks Everyone!
I'm new to rc crawling but have always loved going slow over things versus speed. Have to thank JIA for me finding this awesome home when I picked up my 1st issue of RC Driver that had the F/X build. Right away, after visting the site, dusted off my bruiser of some 20 years and got it back to running.
Bruiser: Not too much customization other then replaced the dead 750 motor with a Integy 55 turn motor. Steering servo up front over the axles, locked the front one way bearing and replaced the stock shocks with the TLT's.
Jeep: 1st crawler build so still learning. No comp rig but sure is fun. It is a stock TLT chassis that I cut down and modified for a pede tranny. 55 turn motor, custom links with 6/32 rods sleeved with stainless steal tubing I found at my LHS. Rebel2 and 5645 Hitec servo. WB is just shy of 12.5" and GC is 2.75. The seats and dash are taken from one of my sons Nikko jeeps and the front and rear grills, spare wheel and tool box from my sons Fast Lane? crawling jeep. Looking to build the roll cage and replacing the molded lexan ones.
- mud flaps - used those foam craft material sheets that kids use for arts & craft. I printed Taz (between Taz and the Mud Flap Girl - son picked Taz) on photo paper and glued to the foam.
The red/white stickers on the trailer sides I created and printed on Epson photo stickers. These are small stickers that are about 1/2" x 1" have a glossy look. I basically printed the pattern and cut the sticker in half length wise.
