Xtruck Trailer

Greetings from mini-zracer.com....anyways i have devised a feasible plan to build a completley custom trailer for my copper (yes i custom painted it already) F-150 to tow around. It will be large enough to carry any of my cars, and maybe some spare upgrades. It will have some sort of functioning hitch.

The meterials I plan on using include....
-Aluminum (or steel, i dunno) mounting brackets cut to my desired length (for the frame)
-An old front end from a gen-1 xmod (for wheel mounting)
-Some kind of scale-looking wood planking (for the floor)
-Stock camaro wheels
-Sheet lexan or bits cut out of an unused case
-The ever-classic (my paint of choice) krylon spraypaint
-Brass tubing (for the hitch, roof supports)

I'll post pics when it's done.

I know buying a kit is as much fun as building from scratch, but Testors has a !/25th scale trailer kit for 8 bucks. I doubt the wheels actually turn, but that could always be modded.

Where can I find the Testor's trailer? The one I built isn't exactly...good. I wound up making it out of balsa, and the hitch would be a bent nail throught an angle Iron, it looks hack.

Here you go. Although you are still going to have to make some sort of hitch on the truck.
