1/24 Scale Overland Trailer

[WickedFog]

Got the Jerry can mount and the propane tank glued in place, and got the main body primered. Screws for the leaf springs were supposed to be here today, but FedEx is taking their sweet time as usual. The wheels and tires should be here Thursday, along with some bronze paint.

Looking good bro.

Looking good bro.

Agree. can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[WickedFog]

Hopefully everything arrives to finish this by Thursday. Then it should go together pretty quick. Still looking to buy some 4mm ribbon to make some straps for the top rack and one to hold the jerry can in.

When you think this can’t get better but it gets way better can’t wait to see the final product

 

[WickedFog]

The screws showed up today, so I got the leaf springs installed on the frame. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I wish I had made the hangers a tad longer, so it had a bit more travel, but I can always remodel them and print new ones.

A little articulation vid

 

[Addict Rc]

That’s cool did you 3d print the leaf springs?

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah, it's all 3d printed.

 

[Addict Rc]

Yeah, it's all 3d printed.

Nice the only reason I asked is cause it looked like metal What type of fulfillment did you use?

 

[WickedFog]

It's all PLA.

 

[Addict Rc]

Oh ok it just looked like metal in the light looks scale

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah, I designed all the parts to look as scale as possible. Except for the axle. That was just designed to have clearance and be easily printable as well as durable. A friend said it looks like a portal axle. I was like, yeah it kinda does actually.

 

[Addict Rc]

Are you going to do a roof rack? because I see holes in the roof

Yeah, I designed all the parts to look as scale as possible. Except for the axle. That was just designed to have clearance and be easily printable as well as durable. A friend said it looks like a portal axle. I was like, yeah it kinda does actually.

Yea but I feel like the axle won’t be seen that often and like you said more clearance
What color are you going to paint it? Enless you did gray

 

[WickedFog]

It will be purple, to match the Carnage.

The cutest little beadlocks and tires just showed up. But I need to print a hub because the one they come with won't work.

Those are sick where did you get them
Nice love that purple

They are RC4WD .7 stamped steel wheels for their little 24th scaler.

 

[WickedFog]

Got the beadlocks assembled. These were SURPRIZINGLY EASY! My only gripe is the tiny nut driver they supply with them doesn't quite go on the hex bolts.

Here are the RC4WD .7 wheels and tires next to the stock Deadbolt wheels and tires. Aren't they cute?

Man @Doom!, I need a better camera. Here is a sneak peak.
