Re: WPL truck to Diamond T/M19 conversion
Well I tried the Diamond T with the trailer and a tank on the back and it went for about 2 feet and stopped. Then I realised that I had never charged the battery from new so it was probably flat. I put it on my charger and the charged capacity showed zero! So there's the problem. Now charging the battery and I'll try again. What should the charged capacity be for an 800mah battery?
At least it went 2 feet even with a flat battery and a tank on the back, so I am very encouraged, we'll see what it does with a fully charged battery.

Re: WPL truck to Diamond T/M19 conversion
No luck! I fully charged the battery and it will tow the trailer fine, but not with a tank on the back, just not enough power! 
So back to the drawing board and look for a plan B.

Re: WPL truck to Diamond T/M19 conversion
SUCCESS! I sat and pondered, and wondered whether the carpet was the problem, so downstairs to the lounge, and hey presto we have a working M19 and tank 
Pity about the vacuum cleaner but never mind, the plan works!

Re: WPL truck to Diamond T/M19 conversion
Some work completed on the trailer. The loading ramps were a little tricky to design and print but I got there eventually. Lots of little details done like the wheel hubs and tie down fasteners.
Lots more detailing to do.

Shame my M15 trailer is proving elusive and expensive to make!
