Yeah, are you going to leave it unpainted? I'm impressed if you can actually back that thing up!

I can't resist a challenge...

Video being uploaded...
It will be here in an hour or so:
http://youtu.be/BInn5zK3nIQ

This was the 2nd Attempt(1 min 54), happy to post the first as well(at over 4mins I figured that was a little long)...

The rear steer actually makes it a lot simpler, even with a dolly(providing the brain remains "in sync" with everything).

Cheers,
AP.

Pretty smooth backing skills. I'm guessing you are using the Servnaut ARO to control the steering servo on the trailer?

Yep servonaut Infrared gear in the truck(AIR4), dolly(AMO & AIR4) and trailer(AMO).

For lights and steering. I do want to use it for the gooseneck too(another channel sourced from the AIR), but this will require another AMO(at least).

I have the steering setup so that it is controlled by the knob on the dx8. I also have a mix from the trucks steering which can be activated by another switch on the radio.

It works pretty well.

Cheers,
AP

I haven't had much time to work on this for a while... a quick fifteen minutes today, a rear hitch for a pusher is now on:

I could add a coupling to the front of the DAF, but it would be difficult to do.

It's going to take some co-ordination to drive with a 2nd person controlling the MAN... Should be plenty of traction though with the 6x6 on the back helping...


Cheers,
AP

Love this trailer. I could really use an American looking 4 axle lowboy in Wedico scale and can't find much. I don't read German, can you tell me do all of Ivan's trailers have rear steer and the deck that spreads out wider? I do not either of those options. Thanks.

Some clearance lighting done:

Sorry for the quality of the pic!

Before that I acquired some signs...



And put on some tie down points...


All cool.
