Default 1/10 Taxa Outdoors Woolly Bear trailer

I've been a fan of Taxa trailers forever (of their look at least, I don't own one). Decided to scratch build a scale version of their Woolly Bear, an off-road RTT trailer. All measurements came from their assembly and user manuals, laid it all out in Fusion 360 1:1 and then proceeded to build it 1/10 (a mistake really since rc crawlers are more like 1/9 - too late!). Since this is all in CAD, I 3D printed some of the parts: the fenders, cargo deck, the RTT risers, trailer arm and suspension. The suspension is my own design because I don't know how it is in the real thing.

Other details:
Wheels and tires are from the new MN Models G500. At 82mm OD they fit perfectly.

RTT is not 3D printed. It's a cardboard shell wrapped in a poly mailer with a black styrene sheet as base. The Tepui vinyl logos came from RC Girl.

Things left to go: Surface details on one side, spare wheel mount, rear bumper and lights (maybe). Then paint and finish!

Woah, nice work!

Excellent styrene work! Also cool that you added a little 3D print work with it too! That rooftop tent looks awesome! I would have guessed it was store bought!

It's great to see hand crafted pieces like this. Great job!

Thank you! I really enjoy thinking about how to build stuff that makes you second guess a picture. I've built static scale models for 20 years more or less, so this project kind of scratched that itch, but I get to make it somewhat functional.

Spare tire mount was designed, printed and attached.

Added the surface details to the other side of the trailer

Printed and mounted the battery box, which actually houses a battery to power the rear lights.

First shakedown run. Some issues with the arm stiffness but nothing broke!
