Default Made a trailer today. Turned pretty good.

I've got tires and wheels on the way. I tried to keep narrow and scale looking while being able to haul anything from a 1/10 drift car to any super comp crawler. I was going to build ramps but the dove tail makes low enough that you really wouldn't need them. I'm going be building some more trailers soon as well. I want test my skills and really get good at it.

Looks pretty good when you can see it larger.

When posting pics from photobucket, copy the text that is in the "IMG Code" box, then paste it into the forum post.

I would probably re-do the wood flooring so that each plank is the exact same length, but that's me.

Did you braze the frame together?

Thanks for the comments everyone. I do plan to fix the wood. I ripped those down from a 2X4 on the table saw and they warped real bad so i'm going nuy some alreadt cut small stuff from Homedepot. I'm going to be building a gooseneck next. When I find some cheap semitruck 1/14 dually wheels/tires I'll make a dually trailer. Maybe even fit it up with some scale tooboxs and stuff. As soon a I get about 5 or more trailers built I'm going to buy a vendor status on here. Thanks for the comments guys and the builds down the road are sure to be even better.
