Also the trailer will be running tamiya trailer axles with wedico tires for Low Profile tires. All parts will be hooked together with 1.5 and 3.0mm screws that with drilled and taped and very few screws will be able to be seen to keep that scale look and that clean and quality but look..

Ok boys and girls here we go finally got my camera back so I can get some picks up of this trailer build.


Ok so here is one blank rail and one with the 1/2 angle bolted to it with 1.5mm screws. All screws are drilled and taped.


So here is a pick of the end of the rails with the taper cut in them laying on the 1/8 inch deck.



Here is a pick of the lower deck all bolted on with 3mm counter sunk screws that are 4mm long with nylock nuts on them.




Ok 2 more picks. just a little mock up of how the axles will look when up the trailer.


Here is a close up pick of how the wedico truck tires look as low pro tires on a tamiya wheel.


So that's it for right now I will be working on the upper deck some tonight and hopefully have the axles bolted up under it tomorrow..
