Exclusive RC's LowBoy
 
As many of you know this has been in the works for a WHILE, lots of designing went into this, lots of part testing etc. As you all may already know I love Fontaine's Line of trailers and this bad Boy was my inspiration...

http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps65ef92a8.jpg

My Personal Low Boy will be Tri-Axle with a dropping 4th axle making it a Quad Axle with 24" of free deck space and I will also make the Jeep option with it. Manual Removing goose neck with folding down extension as well. She will be painted to match the Cat im building since he will be hauling her!She will be made of Aluminum, ABS plastic, with LESU aluminum axles, Custom folding outriggers to extend the width on both sides. Not only will she look like a heavy hauler but she will be able to pull all the weight put on her!

here is some mock up pics of some of the components....

Looks like 3D printing make things like this more doable. Hand crafting all those parts would take 4eva!! Very Kool!!

For all of those with doubts about 3d printing, if its done and designed correctly it will handle just fine..... ive grabbed a few things i had around me that weighed a little more than 15 pounds and tested it and it handles flawlessly! im going to guess and say this trailer will def handle a min of 100 pounds easy..
