My custom trailer

[Gomjaba]

Right, the new Tamiya Reefer is a good step in the right direction.
However, I love BIIIIG rigs so I thought a custom trailer needs to be build.

The biggest real rig available seems to be 53 ft so I thought I NEEEEED a scaled 53 ft one.

So here it is .. 45 inches attached to my stretched King Hauler (in progress).

The whole rig has now a length of 63 inch :)

Holy smokes Batman, that thing is huge!

[Gomjaba]

I tell yea .. Tamiya could make more money with larger scale ... (hint)
Considering how many people stretch stock frames, build larger trailer or buy expensive trailer from Carson ....

[wyoming]

lol, that looks cool, I think if they made bigger trailers people would then feel the need to cut them down just to change them probably a no win situation when there are all us modelers out there who like to change whatever comes along.

A monster you have there Gomjaba..

Wonder if it would also be smart to offer custom building packs from the spares carried? :omg:

ie. To convert your Kinghauler to a 6WD you need pack A, B and C

Rather than trying to work out all the bits yourself. Its ok for experts but what about those that cant affiord to order the wrong bits?

Just thoughts.

Cheers

wow that rig is huge!!! can it even turn?
hope you have a garage big enough for that hahah!:Tamiya1:

[Gomjaba]

It'll turn :P

I re-did the Hauler though - its now a normal dual axle. Also I had a problem that I mounted the king pin to far away from the head of the trailer (know what I mean ?) so the Hauler could only turn like 30 degrees, but now its fixed ..

Still working on some electronics but I sure will post more pictures in a month or so (still waiting for some bits and bops)
