1/5 trailer build

[dopeyiniraq]

ok so I have been working on my 6x6 n then I decided to take a break from the truck work on something different so I decided to make a enclosed trailer to go along with the truck

now for the info on the trailer ok so
the plans

I plan to have it use 6 1/5 onroad tires
also gonna try to have the trailer to use rear hydro brakes
make the rear door go up n down by some sort of pulley system
im thinking bout use something like 2 1/10 scale winches
its going to be bout 8 feet in total length
it should be able to fit 2 on roads or 2 f1s
im gonna make the enclosed part of the trailer out of foam board with thin sheet aluminum on the out side n aluminum frame n aluminum ribs on the inside for support
ill have the servos for the brakes in a small area in the front of the trailer were the master cylinders would also b along with the 2 winches

ill post pix wen I get started on the trailer

Sounds like an interesting project.
Just an idea, but can you use one of those 1/8 winches to pull a chord to open the door - which would rely on weight probably to close - thus smoothish running.

Just an idea.
