    Default Fastech Trailer

    Im sure im not the only one who wants to pull my offshore boat down to the lake with the RC truck. I picked up some steel and slapped this together using a vice, drill, and some nuts and bolts. For the wheels, Im using a spare set of Losi XXX-T CR quick chang hubs, Id like to add another set as well. Its not done yet but I did test it, and it pulls rather good for somthing that only took two nights to put together.

    Thanks, I pulled it around a bit with my losi strike and it blew out the rear diff, so I just ordered a traxxas 4x4 slash. I hope that will pull it around a bit better.

    Id say about $50 (not including the forty dollar aluminum hubs I had already) Heres part of the simple hitch I made. I will take more as the project progresses. I guess ill need to paint it as its steel and not stainless. Get more pics soon. And ya, I dont have the ability to weld either..

    Thanks guys! I will get some video when I get home this weekend. I should have a 4x4 slash by then, and I put the new venom 35" P1 on back order (tower let me use a $30 cupon) and it says due by mid June. Im a huge Fountain fan and will probably never get to own a real one. So im excited about that. I love the scale looks as well as the fastechs too. I love the fastech so far, Its my first boat. Didnt know what I was missing for the last 25 years in RC.
