Very nice. I'll be watching this one. Are you still going to the folding neck? Either way this will be a nice addition to you impressive collection of construction equipment.

Yup, still trying my luck with a folding neck. I have two actuators that I think will work. And even if they don't have enough power to lift a full load I could add two more for a total of 4. I've seen this style trailer with four hydraulic cylinders so it would still be somewhat scale. Only problem I see so far (more for sure) is I may end up having to get shorter actuators.

Joe I do like the sliding axle trailer and great build on that one!! Thanks for sharing

Made the outer beams today and some cross members. So far I'm planning on housing battery and electronics above the rear axles. Long wire run for servos (actuators) but takes a touch weight off front.

Looking sweat! I like the folding neck. A few of the off-highway lowbeds around here are that style.

I haven't seen many (or any) rc like I'm trying to do so I figured it would be cool

Some more work in progress pics






I'm slowly getting better at welding this thin stuff, but it's getting decking so they aren't going to be seen, as long as I don't flip it over
