He modified that trailer so the tail works like a Landoll 930 model.

Sorry Bigford for screwing up your thread, it is a very good one, if it were me I would have ditched the ramp and kept the beavertail.



With some powder coating, wood deck and aluminum wheels that would be a beautiful little trailer!

"Bigford", this is looking like an amazing truck to build/operate. All of your trucks and equipment are very well done. I'll be looking forward to the next stage of this project and those to follow.

Thank you,

Jim

The drop deck express is looking real sweet btw.
Is there a tutorial video somewhere on here, or a link to it, that shows how to do that? I've a 6 CH Spektrum radio, & am building 2 dump trucks. Neither will (for now, anyways) have trailers. With no trailers, BOTH could be controlled from the same radio, as you did, or is that ONLY the 18CH radio?

Try sending Joe (Lil Giants) on here a PM, I’m sure he could explain it to you. That’s his youtube channel

What happened to the wrecker? Did you convert it to the dump? Are you going to complete the wrecker build? That looked very nice, and it would be a great addition to your fleet.

Also, is that a Wedico sleeper on the wrecker build?

Thank you, happy trucking,

Jim

Skeeter just bind two rx at the same time. Joe probably made the first truck run off the left stick and the second one off the right stick and dump controls off of toggles
