SPY SHOTS - Something "Practichaul" comes soon!

[tycoonman]

Wow, look what I found-- some high quality spy shots! What could it possibly be?

[dont slow down]

Hey I was wondering if anyone else would ever make one of these! Looks a lot like mine I made a while back. Hopefully that one holds up a bit better than mine, any more than a bump and my solder joint at the hitch would break.

So you soldered the rack to the hitch, or did you use some sort of coupling piece too? Beautiful grill! I would like to have it.

I'm currently testing it and will be making some improvements before it's available.

It slides into the receiver just like a real one. I built a rise into mine to keep it from being too low, with the angled cuts and only soldering it made it a little weak.



Oh and the BBQ grill, charcoal bag, and lighter fluid bottle all came from ebay in the dollhouse section, only cost about $12.

Ha, I can't get over the grill. Look like it's actual powder coated steel, too. I will be looking for doll house accessories now...

Currently I only have an adjustable hitch for the SCX10, but with the coupler the cargo rack will be compatible. The hitch has five vertical mounting positions, which covers the issues of being too low or too high. You rack looks great, but I would imagine the soldered joints would be giving you some trouble.

I haven't been able to break mine yet. Being plastic and having a slight flex is to thank. Then again, I was trying to break it with body-off driving and multiple roll-overs, topped with some backing up into walls. When I take it out with the intention of driving normally... well that will be the real test.

Is yours machined or 3D printed?

3D printed.
