gooseneck trailer project

Imo his driveline would hate him....... has to be gentle on the throttle and keep the rolling resistance going. This on a scx6 would be the best combo.

Goals brother goals

All you gotta do is weld up the hitch!

One day lol

For now I'm gonna try to cut the aluminum with my Dremel
I have a grinder so will use that if I have to
The plan so far is to remove the axles andd the springs
Drill out screw holes along the market spots where the braces are
Bolt the aluminum to the trailer thru the top.
I'm then going to use the cut off lengths to place where the axles will go back on.
I'm ordering new axles and metal leafs I think I ordered them already not sure.
I'm HOPING this raises the trailer enough that I can use a larger tire
We will find out tonight
Only pics I got were when I was fighting the melatonin and trying to figure out something to tinker with

I bought this saw from Harbor Freight and also a blade for metal.
It works great for aluminum.

I don't know if it makes sense or is doable but if you double up on those tires (like a semi trailer) it will handle more weight and have a bigger footprint for better support.
The diamond plate looks COOL!!!

i cut the aluminum to length with my dremel, think i broke my dremel as it wont hold a bit any longer. is quite annoying,
here's the problem I'm dealing with the wheels
the aluminum is not attatched yet so its still; the stock trailer

those tires are literal trash brother, I've tried using my dually adapters to set a second tire under but i dont have any that small yet, hopefully soon i can find a set for sale somewhere that are cheap enough but more hopefully i can get the stuff all ordered and screwed together then while axles are off ill cut more aluminum as i have like 4 more of that track still attatched to the ceiling i can scavenge so in theory i can stack bars on top of each other and jb weld em??? i dont know we arent there quite yet still have lots of time to get my mind to a creative state and figure something out lol

Thats the best part of fab building. You can't do it "wrong"! Might have to back track but if you're the only one who's doing it, its ONLY right!
I'm sure you'll get it worked out! There are some CRAZY tallented fab/builder guys here who can help if you get stuck too.
It looks like a good start to me!
Keep modding til you love it!
