Re: 13 Axle big boy
I'm going to do air bags I think i have found a way to make working air bags. No leaf springs just arms that go from frame back over the axle then to air bag. If my air bags work i should have the only working air ride truck out there that i have seen. Last of all are the size of the screws on a tamiya rail 2mm or 3mm?

Re: 13 Axle big boy
I know i looked at his and his our spring. I want real airbags and i need 26 airbags that would be over $300 in suspension.

Re: 13 Axle big boy
Nope. That was the proper thread. The pics with the airbags being tested under pressure have been deleted. I'm going to assume that the idea never panned out....so, I stand corrected. You CAN be the first to make a functioning airbag. Lol

Re: 13 Axle big boy
My idea for the air bags is to make a wood pill like shape then plastic dip it till it is right thickness. They don't need to hold alot of psi 10-20 maybe 30. Then i will cut holes at top and bottom. Then use washers and some little aluminum post. to keep it cheep and simple.

Unfortunately I am the proud owner of a blood pressure meter. I haven't taken it apart.... ( yet ). But it's very compact and can obviously generate some good positive pressure. It runs on 4 AA batteries. Might be a good choice for a compressor? I paid 80 bucks here in Canada, I know there are cheaper versions. Judging by the size of the whole unit, I'm sure the compressor would fit in a sleeper compartment. Love the trailer idea by the way. I'm sure you've seen this video?
