I feel like making a trailer to tow my drifter since I robbed its electrics. What can I do for an axle for a trailer? Any ideas? |

This is not exactly on topic with trailer axles, I Found it!? but it is what I am using to build my trailer. I bought the rest of the parts I need to build it and will post more on it when I get it done. The suspetion I am using is a torsion spring setup per wheel. I am going for a tri-axle setup. Steve |

I was thinking some brakeline with a revo turnbuckle but one thread is threaded the opposite way. If I use threaded rode how will I keep the rod from shifting side to side. And how will I mount my wheels |

Hey dude,here is a pic of how my old trailer was set up, Griz now has it, it had a long solid rod, with a bushing on the end and bracket that pivoted. attached to the bracket was half shafts to mount the wheels, allows for some suspension movement if you will call it that.  Sorry for the crappy pic, maybe Chris can take better ones |

 Yea I didnt build this trailer so I cant take credit for it but I do miss this set up as my white bone handles much differently from this one, I would say this is a much better set up.

olod topic/thread I know, but the wheels shown in the pic are exactly what I would like to use. Could you tell me more about the stub axle used to mount them? Is it a part from a tamiya sand scorcher or brat? That is what I believe the wheels are from. Thanks for any help.
