|  Making a Trailer Well I was thinking about making a trailer for my scale rig I am working on right now. The only thing I really don't know how I am gona make it work is some type of hitch. I was gona make the trailer out of aluminum angel, and aluminum diamond plating and just make some axels one way or another not too tough. I just don't know about the Hitch? Any ideas will help!!! I am hopefully gona get started on it one of these nights soon. |

| You could try a ball stud and cup, like for suspension, i'm not sure if it would work. Did you try to search? i know several guys on here have made trailers |

| yeah I was looking and it seems like a lot of goose necks. I want to do like a regular hitch. I gues I might have to just go to the LHS or Lowes and Home Depot and stare at hardwear long enough. |

| you could use a clasp like what is on a dogleash, with an eyebolt. It would be like a pintle hitch. I think it could be cool. |
