This is the turntable bearing I use.
40x60x3mm size suits the tamiya chassis width nicely

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GCCTF61

I use it instead of a fifth wheel on my tandem axle dolly as I have a hinged drawbar.

It could be fun with a Christmas card from Tamiya Emil, you are in charge of that now

NRS91. Good Idea. That's what I'm doing. While I figure how to secure for driving around and break them apart for traveling, I'm making BabyMoon hubcaps.

I have a Keyhole shaped hole in the centre of the turntable so you slot in then pull the dolly forward to lock it in place then it is secured with a slide in "blade" that slides across in front of the king pin

Would those hub caps work for regular duallies too?

Lightbulb Re: KH Beam Hauler

NRS91 Good idea, I will try that. Emil, Yes......sort of. The caps come in a huge variety, Some hardware stores Lowes, and Home Depot have them. I get them from this company: http://www.pro-dec.com/screw-caps-sc.../8-8-snap-caps They have a bit low profile and sit a bit high caused of the axle and lock nut. I put a dab of plumbers putty inside and press them on. the putty stays tacky over a long time, so they stay on.

At the end of testing, Drives, well, Parallel park, well. Reverse, well. All are well—time to take care of manufacturing all the parts.

Bo-Dog, I LOVE them hubcaps! They're gooder than the 3D printed ones I've seen, in that they look more realistic.

Kerst, Emil, Skeeter. Thanks. Parallel park to be seen next time you're in my hood. Or I'm attacking yours. I like the Baby Moon hub caps a lot too. I wish they weren't so shallow. I can now move a few projects forward. Got some stuff delivered today.

The first row drilled and countersunk. It's already sturdy with only 4 of 17 screws mounted. I think this will work out well.

I'm so close to making the first test run of the Gullwings. And I can almost taste it.
