Trailer wannabe

[adbradwell]

Hi all, just wanna share my first attempt trailer so need some suggestion from you guys

First of all I only have :
-1mm styrene plate
-3mm styrene square
-3mm styrene solid round and pipe.

Frame



the fender but I think it's to wide. Let me know.



this is when I put tires from TF2


I think again and put axial 3 link + servo mount here just to be sure it'll be stronger. because the 3mm square styrene might not strong enough.


Kinda confused how to make the axle so I use alumunium link and couple of parts from axial to make axle




Please let me know what you guys think
And sorry for my poor english

selamat pagi!

Your english is very good. much better than my indonesian. Trailer looks great! More than a 'wannebe", it is!

Where are you in Indonesia? I spent a lot of time in Sulawesi & Bali.

LOL! Google Translate. When I lived there, pre-Google, my bahasa was very caveman like.

Your trailer is looking awsome. nice detail.

P.S. there is a Indonesian thread on RCC, under regional, outside U.S. Didn't know if you had found that but seems like a lot of people in Jakarta into RC, probably not to many in Toraja yet.

Very good ideas on the hitch pivot and the axle carriers. I have tons of those parts just taking up space.

update:

Side hook from paper clip


couple of latch for the door



After painting




should I paint the door hinges and latch black or not?

Looks good the way it is.
The tail lights off-set the color on the back enough.
Too many different black things back there and It will look like polka-dots
Nice job, I like the red

[DRW-FJ40]

Nice! You work fast. I like the hinges red. maybe a little flat black wash to simulate some old oily residue in the recesses?
