i start build the deck/frames/axles in feb right after i built the 5th wheel hitch on my crewcab ford. i finally designed the body and will going build two functionally slider (hopefully it work...) so far this is what i ve done today. look awesome huh?? i will try my best to make it look scale with all those small details...
i built the axles with leaf spring. work very well, its does not give soft spring feel. its give very firm spring so its not roll over easy or under a lot pressure. made the nose hitch and mounted to the truck and went for test drive. its turn out GREAT! its can turn very well... but i m a lit worrying if i add up all interior stuff and finishing on the trailer will add up a lot weigh and truck will may break the driveshaft or the 5th wheel hitch or something while driving.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Wow, that's a trailer!
Looks like you've got a slide-out section, too.

Hey
Looks like you didnt plan to use limit switch, You need ones ! I found this pic on this forum, don't remember who drawn it but it is exactly what you need : a bipolar, three stable position switch (6 pins) 2 normally open, 1 stable position switches ![]() Using this wiring, the mechanics won't be stressed because movements will stop automatically at both ends Hope it helps Alex |

finally got my hands on this trailer. just built the slider box, pulled out part out of dvd player to make it slide smooth, add servo, testing, slide in/out smooth! but last thing i will hook up the limit switch underneath the slider box to stop from stressing the motor. but taqke a look at the vids.
