I know whitebone trailers are pretty nice fom what I've seen & I think you can get some custom work done. No idea on price but check his site out or here:

well I figure most of the 2.2 stuff is 1:10 or 1:8 scale. should be about 1:8 scale seing as how most crawlers aren't running 22" wheels.

a 2.2 is ~17" in 1:8 scale. that being said, I know my car hauler trailer's deck was about 6.5' x 18' or 78" x 216"
a 78 x 216" trailer is ~10" x 27" in 1:8 scale. Just for the deck.

Trailer wheels will stick out further, and the tongue will hang out the front about 4 feet, or 6" and connect to either a center rail, and an A frame, or just an A frame depending on how stout the trailer is.

don't forget, to be 50 state legal, you'll need fenders over the trailer wheels extending below the hub line of the trailer axles and lights on the corners.
A center light in the rear is needed for trailers over 80" (10" in 1: in width.

have fun.

Why would someone want a trailer for there RC car? That is a lot of money to spend on something that is just for look pretty much.

What do people pull there RC crawler on trailer from the truck to to the trail? I guess that would be pretty cool but I would rather take the money that you would spend on the trailer and tow rig and just put it into the crawler.
