They can pull more than the stock axles.

Oh oh, you have GOT to have it open up like Optimus Prime's trailer to reveal the crawlers. I'm serious too hehe. I would love to see the trailer have some latches and hinges on the bottom to drop down. Then you can do toolboxes and all sorts of scale crap on the walls.

Edit2 - better view:


BTW, have you been over to Koenig lately? Man he's cleaned up and they have all sorts of new big tools to use there. I spoke with him at length and the young guy (forgot his name right now) graduated from Anderson at UNM with an Accounting degree and welds/sells metal for a living.

Ohhh, I thought you knew about them. Over on Zuni and east of San Pedro on the north side of the street. Loads of scrap metal. I picked up a crapload last time for $20.

Cool Build! I just think the TXT axels would look a lot better but this is just my opinion. Keep up the good work.
