I haven't got it off the garage floor yet and out in the dirt, hopefully soon!

Thanks, it's been a fun project. We have an upcoming trip to Moab in the 1:1 and I need to decide if this one will be coming along.

I'll definitely be bringing my SCX again. The orange GI Joe Jeep has proved to be bullet proof so far chugging along on two HH 54t (MOA), and I would have a great time with it. This "stock" Hasbro has a simplistic charm about it that would be kick to show off... Then there's the Wraith and a hardbody Unlimited JK I'm building on the QT... Just no room to bring them all.

Thanks Mike, I've been crazy busy at work the past two months.

I think I started a thread on this trailer months ago but I just haven't had the time to work on it. Independent torque suspension with helper overload springs.










I was pretty happy with the articulation provided with this set up and it kept the trailer on an even keel most of the time. Here are a couple of vid-captures that show how I had envisioned it working, followed by a short slowmotion segment of the last section of the video.
