Getting my MOJO back

Post by 971wright »

Hi Guys been almost 18 months since i made anything,Slowly getting my MOJO back started a new project (first time 3d printer has run in 18 months, checked bed level and off it went not a problem) Amazed it was so easy. Making a new trailer for Het 1070 5 axle rear steer trailer,been thinking about it all time I wasnt making anything, its not going to be a M1000 trailer due to the fact I dont have enough wheels it will have 20 wheels not 40,steering is made easier to make with 20 wheels using Tamiya front axles .if I did it with 40 wheels would need to make all the suspension and steering. It wont be accurate to the M1000 but it will work 5 axle steer ramps and front jacks,all scratch built ,from the side and top it will look similar to M1000 but rivet counters will have a field day lol.

regards pete

Nice big modern trailer - look forward to it!

Did you ever make yourself a dragon wagon trailer as I know you’ve got an m26 wagon?

Good to see the Mojo back, I have been in the same boat since moving house a year ago. It's a drive, but a group I go rock crawling with also run RC tanks, so we are having a day out with tanks, not crawlers, at Rhoose Point this Sunday. I can't wait! :clap:

Looking forward to seeing your trailer, that's a lot of wheels!! 8O
