Kits for dump trucks

[Mustang46555]

On the Carson lift units.
The one used in their trailers (sold by Rick at PMD among others) is too wide out of the box to fit between Tamiya frame rails. It CAN be made to fit, I did it on my first King Hauler conversion as well as my dump trailer, but it takes a lathe and machining skills and a lot of modification.
A better option is to use a very similar looking scissors unit sold by a Chinese company (got mine from Semi Joe) and power it with the Carson gear motor. I used this combo on my newest Tamiya conversion and it works great with the scissors unit fitting perfectly in the Tamiya frame. Everything fit and cleared the stock driveline.
