Lowboy
I have looked but haven't found... I want to build or maybe buy a lowboy ( Rogers, Trail King, ect..)..probably a tri-axle. I want to use aluminum. Has anyone done one of these in alum. or know anyone that builds a nice one?

Re: Lowboy
Travis- do you have build pics from it to get me going in the right direction? It looks real good. I was there this am getting supplies for another paying job I have going, scratching my head as to what to use.

Re: Lowboy
Sorry Ben but I built this trailer before I knew about the forums so I didn't take any pics while I was building it. I will take some pics of it in a few and post them.

Re: Lowboy
I built this one by hand from aluminum for the main deck and rear suspension (standard tamiya axels and springs) - the neck is mostly steel.

Re: Lowboy
Wow, I second that! That is a fantastic looking lowboy, Izzy. That had to require some milling.

Re: Lowboy
It does look great! The transaction from the deck to bolsters over the wheels is very accurate, something very hard to duplicate and that's not even to mention the neck which is amazing in itself.

Re: Lowboy
Thanks guys - it was a fun build! my only oops was not paying enough attention to the deck length - it's a bit long. The neck is fully rc functional.
