For drifting lockers will help and should last due to no traction. I would duct tape the tires or pcc to get them slippery.@Chubaka does it look like the truck is in the high gear setting? I'm thinking i need to switch the transmission around for the slower torque method?
also... i wanted an infraction.. cause i think a drift truck is just friking cool
how hard would it be to make this thing into a drift truck? not going to cause i want to tow heavy loads with this so am going 180 degree different direction than speed. buuuut
could i make it just go hella fast and melt tires? i think that would be dope.
may be trying to get a second to lower and drift with lol
You will rethink how cool it is, when you find out how expensive tires get, when you start burning through them. but it is wicked cool!@Chubaka does it look like the truck is in the high gear setting? I'm thinking i need to switch the transmission around for the slower torque method?

I love it, he has one speed. FAST
Shew I already knowYou will rethink how cool it is, when you find out how expensive tires get, when you start burning through them. but it is wicked cool!

You should have bought Diet Pepsi.in this clip, i try to tow 4 12 packs. i sort of failed? i mean i feel like if my trailer was aluminum or about anything other than the plastic it is made out of it would have pulled better. and the tires on it are janky.
how would i change them? the trailer tires i mean. not like physically how would i , obviously i take off the hex and remove the wheel, i mean more like HOW would i change them.... would i extend the axle out past the trailer and throw some 1.9's on it? do i put firmer tires on it and deal with it? do i put suspension of some sort on it? if so I'm lost lol
if i was going to add or change anything on the trailer, i feel like adding a set of wheels nearer the front would help, as well as bracing the neck beam where it meets the trailer as it flexes a LOT there and its clear that going to be the first failure point.
about to hit the web to learn about RC trailers to see how i would be best able to repair and improve on this trailer.
but if anyone has experience with similar projects I'd love to hear advice or just read your posts about it.
now that i have a key to remove my lugs i ordered a set of knockoff tires for her, Don't judge me for going the cheap route, 6 tires are pricey!View attachment 190739
I'm going to just cut the factory tires off the american force rims and reapply these knock off hyrax tires, mainly cause 6 new wheels is also cost prohibitive, but also i dig these force rims, they are dope.
no i hear you bro, i know the load was spread poorly, i was afraid of the arm breaking, as it is pretty weak, but its all i have so i am not ready to break it yetI kept yelling at my phone "move the pop to the front of the trailer!" And "turn them longways with the trailer". You'd never make it in the shipping department
That looks like a lot of fun dude. Get some firm tire inserts for those trailer tires. The trailer was actually fairly sturdy considering you stacked the pop on there the wrong direction. Turning them 90° would spread the load on the trailer better. We gotta see this again after some tweaking, and some grip tape installed on your ramp to the porch.
You can get small aluminum angle and screw it to the outer edges under the trailer. Some flat aluminum bar on the gooseneck would help too. Drill some screws through, and use Shoe Goo as well.no i hear you bro, i know the load was spread poorly, i was afraid of the arm breaking, as it is pretty weak, but its all i have so i am not ready to break it yet
its entirely 3d printed, i got sorta bad deal on it paid same price as a guy i saw an hour later his were aluminum with lights lol, mines pretty rough upon closer inspection. but I'm not complaining about my beloved trailer i just want to improve her,
why couldnt i just slap some rails and bolts and sturdy her up a bit? well other than id mess up my onliest trailer ....
thats exact;y what i was hoping would wqork, reinforcing the frame and the A of the goose neck for sure. glad i was on the right track!You can get small aluminum angle and screw it to the outer edges under the trailer.

That's the thing about 3d printed stuff. It's not real strong carrying a load like that. I printed this one, and it's hard to see, but I printed some beams that screwed under it that had a slight bow in them. The trailer will carry a lot heavier load than the tires can handle. But it mainly only carries plastic pallets with boxes and such on them.

because I'm dumb. I've already started the return of this set ( then cancelled it cause ill use em on something else muahahahaa) am going to order a set of 2.2 and a whole new set of chrome rims, the factory rims arent nearly as pricey as aftermarket sets, ( dont look as nice either lol)Those tires are a LOT bigger. You're going to want to lower your pinion gear by a few teeth to compensate.
If you don't get them to seat properly, they aren't going to glue properly. Any reason you went with 1.9 tires instead of 2.2?
The f450 uses 2.6 wheels.Those tires are a LOT bigger. You're going to want to lower your pinion gear by a few teeth to compensate.

Oh, that explains his problems. That's a lot to stretch a 1.9 over.The f450 uses 2.6 wheels.
