[Exclusive RC]

As some of you may know I started to build the replica of my fathers 2006 Long Nose Pete 379 with a UniBuilt sleeper. During this build I was also finishing up my Fontaine Flatbed and in doing so I got tired of spending so much money on stock suspension and trailer axles soooooo....... I decided to design my own.... I have successfully turned my prototype bearing-less axles into a working reality along with my custom Air-Ride to give it a more realistic look for my rigs and trailers. So heres what ive done so far on both ends...

prototype






I designed it so you could use all of the stock holes and just add a few, I also designed the air ride to be interchangeable with my axles and Tamiyas Axle along with the Truck axles.



My axles next to Tamiyas









My Air Ride also uses the spring and rod for flexibility



Then I also fell In Love with the Semi Lifts I saw at the Mack Museum this was fall so I decided to make my own version...



after lots of tail and error and a mix of styrene, aluminum, and brass, i came up with these bad boys capable of holding the weight...







here they are holding the Pete, custom frame drilled for my air ride cut to scale measurements of my fathers truck



axle moved forward, stock king hauler body before chopping and screwing







my air ride setup on the tamiya axles







This was before I had developed My own Bags and was using PMD's Air Bags





Thanks for Looking Guys you already know there is more to come... slowly but surely due to my accident the other day...
