im looking into building a 1/10 scale trailer and was wondering how wide some people are making them

make it about a 1/8" narrower than your track width

That cutting it pretty close. That's 1/16" on each side. I would go 1/2" wider than the vehicle being towed.

youl want your rig to have the tires hang off the sides a little for that cool factor

since youre going to be towing to a comp spot, it will most likely be fairly bumpy. id go 1/2 to 3/4 inch wider than your track width. this way you can mount tie down straps on if you want and it will look legit as hell.

I wish I knew about the cool factor before I built mine :-(. Mines at 9.75in wide for my 1.9 which is about 9.00-9.25 depending on which hexes are on it. Though if I out a 2.2 on it, it will hang over.

I built mine wide enough to tow my 2.2 comp rig with the tires hanging off the sides. The scale rigs have some wiggle room. Overall width is 9.5"
