Bob, I have a wedico 1/16 truck. I bought one of those month ago and have been working on beefing it up. That is why I bought the Beier stuff from you.
I put 20 lbs on the trailer, without the neck. The springs on the suspention bottomed out but the deck did not flex much. I have taken the neck apart so I could not attach it.
VERY cool option to the Über expensive RC4WD!! Sneak some Carbon Fiber or even Steel underneath, and it should carry an impressive load. 😉 Thank you for carrying this in your Store!! 👍👍 Makes getting one so much easier.
I agree on the flex of a trailer. I am "exploring beefing up the "neck" and automating it and getting a little more lift from the neck. This is a realy nice trailer all in all. and my tractor is a wedico so it is 1/16 scale.
Also can the cabs work in softer semi muddy conditions i got a levee projecg going and these r/cs would help alot more then my own garden tools can cause of the small scale of it im fixing a neighbor's pond's runoff thats coming in my yard
I have a question what type of kingpin is on these trailers and are these cabs not nessicarially compatable but capable of locking in a nail/screw style kingpin and what would i need to measure to know
I often hauled oversize and over dimensional freight on what is referred to as an RGN or Removable Goose Neck lowboy trailer. I recall picking up a transformer in Massachusetts and hauling it to Midwest City, Oklahoma. That lead was 102k pounds including my semi truck that was 4 axles the trailer was another 4 in itself. That trailer was never more than an inch p off of the ground. Talk about exilerating😂
I was looking for something for my 336gc But it's double the weight of the excavator you placed on the trailer And it was bending in the middle Thanks for the video I'll look into something metal
That's a nice lowboy for my Fatfox I've been looking for 1 that isn't $900 because my Tamiya Hauler collection is a GH, KH, Fatfox & a box trailer this fits the bill for a race team trailer, thank's for sharing Bob 😉👍🚛
@@HobbyconceptsLLC so I'm doing the same livery on all 3 trucks TS-29 with the brown & white stripes on GH, KH & PS-5 with same stripes & some sponsor stickers on the Fatfox, the box trailer will have all the DOT LED's I'll order from you with a custom vinal wrap I'm getting designed I'll post the trucks on my Instagram when they're finnished whenever that happens lol 😉👍
It's kind of maddening that rc tanks are 1/16 scale a lot of the time. There are tons of 1/16 scale military rigs. But finding a full-function lowboy and semi in 1/16 just keep evading me. I'd like this trailer, if, I was willing to completely re-do the axles, suspension, re-wire the servos for regular use, and add another (or a small pair of) servos to articulate the ramps. I'd also want lights, and a bit of an extension. While extending it, I would also need to bolster up it's weight capacity, because even my cheaper rc tank (still a lot of metal) weighs around 15 pounds. I'd like a trailer ballsy enough to carry 2 tanks. AND be in 1/16 scale. I know, I'm asking a lot. Thank you for this video, really answered a lot of questions I had. I like DCM, but they focus more on looks than functionality, and that's backwards from my thinking. To each his own I suppose. Keep up the great work!! Nice rc's!!
i just got this [ trailer only ] and the goose neck is in the upper position....any way to get it down? i think i'm going to have to take it apart.....
I think it kind of looks cheap. I feel like a flat clear coat would take the toy look away. Or some really good weathering. Definitely a good option for the price.
Man that’s awesome! Does it measure out to true 1/16? I build off brand 1/16 semis using wpl parts. I’ve used the die cast master semi but haven’t seen this trailer. I gotta get one of these!
@@HobbyconceptsLLC I want to get into 1/14 cause I love them. But they’re so darn expensive. Maybe they’ll be a holiday special this year. I’ll get one then piece it up little by little. You build some nice looking rigs.
@@colossalbigfoot256 I've been working on mine for well over a year and though it's far from done. I was able to drive it around this past weekend. I will share that parting one together will cost you more in the long run. But I understand how you feel.
The Cascadia will tow it fine. I don't think it would sit on the deck as it has a lot of nose overhang but I do not have one here to try. The flat deck is 20 3/4" long.
Kinda reminds me of the Ertl lowboy I pulled behind my grand hauler yrs back. Heck I only payed like $80 dollars for the Ertl trailer and a day hauler. Now that’s only to go for the look. It definitely wouldn’t haul my heavy equipment
Hello Bob , do you know when you will try to get the controls on this trailer figured out so we can use them with the Tamiya trucks? Now I did have one of these trailers with the diecast masters western star tri axle truck , so I have used it with the normal controls and know all of its functions , and it does have lights and turn signals and 4 ways , also as you know it raises and lowers. If I beat you to it , I will share with you what I figure out , I did purchase another one for my king hauler and it will be here tomorrow, thanks you! Keep up the great content!!
For me the quality is not in question,that could be beefed up and modded/customised easy.its a nice item BUT to me it looks underscale. mainly in width even when unloaded,think the wheels look under to but not as bad as the width. just my opinion.
I mean, it's certainly better scaled than any tamiya trailer. The flat bed trailer for the king hauler is insultingly short so this, while not being 100% is still 100% better than the official tamiya stuff.
I have a couple of Tamiya semi trucks and I always thought that the trailers were too short. I could only imagine what the Tamiya semi trucks would look like if they had done them in 1/10th scale. Definitely would have loved to have seen that.🙂
Not my choice . It looks out of scale and very toylike. I would safe up some more money to get a lot better trailer instead of getting a (still rather expensive at 250 dollar) trailer that just isn't it .
Honestly it does look really nice and if people paid attention, real trailers have some flex to them.
That's true!
My 350 lx linkbelt log loader is about 95,000lbs and it sags a 65ton aspen lowboy just over 6” so a little flex is fairly standard.
They look more realistic too, when they arch up slightly when empty.
Bob,
I have a wedico 1/16 truck. I bought one of those month ago and have been working on beefing it up.
That is why I bought the Beier stuff from you.
can it carry wedico excavator ? weight?
My Wedico excavator is in pieces. So I can't say for sure.
I put 20 lbs on the trailer, without the neck. The springs on the suspention bottomed out but the deck did not flex much. I have taken the neck apart so I could not attach it.

Thank you for the review. You have saved me a pile of money :)
Looks like if ya added aluminum or steel flat bar would help out in the flex
I have a question what type of kingpin is on these trailers and are these cabs not nessicarially compatable but capable of locking in a nail/screw style kingpin and what would i need to measure to know
Just got my trailer in the mail today! Bob, do you know what the voltage is for the lift motor ??
Battey voltage (7.4 volts)

Can you swap the wheels for Tamiya wheels ? That's all I can see is the only under scaled problem
Man I love it. What fun I could have with something like that ... looking good 👍
Hey Bob, how wide is it without the sides (outriggers) put on?
6 1/2" wide without the outrigger sideboards.
I was looking for something for my 336gc
But it's double the weight of the excavator you placed on the trailer
And it was bending in the middle
Thanks for the video I'll look into something metal
The RC4WD aluminum Lowboy is super nice. It will carry 100lbs just fine.
Thanks for the great review as always 👌🏾😎👏🏾
You need to make a jeep dolly and a tag axle for it!!
3 axle jeep & 3 axle booster with a extended flip neck would be SWEET!!

The Fatfox would look great on it. I have one of those here I plan to do a build video on.

Just bought one of these. Have you had the chance to figure out the electronics?
could you make that gooseneck work with the multi function unit?
Why is my king haulers 5th wheel pointing forward not back like yours
psst...those side rails are called outriggers. Would like to see the deck strengthened so it wouldn't flex so much. Is the king pin metal?
The kingpin is some kind of plastic but seems like more resin in it.

We know it's a tough trailer by the way your slinging it around lol 🤣👍
I don't mess around! If it can't take rough treatment here then well...........
Very nice lookin low boy it do well plus people will modify it m8
I agree. Add some lights a bit of aluminum and some paint will make it even better!
It doesn’t look bad with the King Hauler!!!

Hello. Is possible send to me name of shop for this fantastic trailer for tamiya truck. Thanks

It seems to. On this I have to go by looks because there are so many lengths of real trailers. It looks pretty darn good.

He bob where can I find a dumping trailer for tamiya trucks the won’t break the bank
It's the breaking the bank part that is hard!
Hey Bob, Will this fit on my grand hauler?
Sure will!
Didn't watch the video, did you?
Hello,
Impossible to have it in France, it's a shame because it's just the scale I'm looking for for my semi wedico.
Laurent.
How about a Cascadia Evolution
Non existent for the time being.... 😫
The Cascadia will tow it fine. I don't think it would sit on the deck as it has a lot of nose overhang but I do not have one here to try. The flat deck is 20 3/4" long.
My mistake. I thought you were asking to get a Cascadia. Tamiya really needs to bring that back! 😩
I have a Cascadia but want a globe liner
@@DrDiff952 At least the Globe Liner is a lot easier to get. Bob sold me mine!
The Grand/King Hauler is basically based off a GMC General from the 1980s.

If you figure something out let me know. I will be doing an additional video on this trailer in August or September (painting it etc.)
For me the quality is not in question,that could be beefed up and modded/customised easy.its a nice item BUT to me it looks underscale. mainly in width even when unloaded,think the wheels look under to but not as bad as the width. just my opinion.
You are correct, it is a tiny bit undersize. But overall looks just fine behind the truck and works well.
I mean, it's certainly better scaled than any tamiya trailer. The flat bed trailer for the king hauler is insultingly short so this, while not being 100% is still 100% better than the official tamiya stuff.
Is the trailer itself die cast? Or plastic? Very interested in one of these!
It is molded plastic.
nice lowboy💯💯💯
Where can I get that trailer from.
Amazon and other places , I have 2 of them .
Link in video description
Sehr interessant und wirklich gut wie der Herr alles beschreibt aber ,leider nur in englisch
it would be good for transporting construction equipment.
See my video for some RC construction equipment on this lowboy
Omg i want one, shame i live in uk ugh!
I would think someone must sell them over there.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC only the 1/50th scal dicast ones not the 1:16th ones

That truck with the ditch digger would be over loaded. You would have to put a Dollie on it
A link to the supplier would’ve very nice
Link in the video description
Amazon , and alot of others!
I'm trying to make the payment
💕👌👍
Diecast Masters! And the trailer is Plastic!
Yeah, that kinda cracks me up too! But is is a nice trailer....
For $250 I’d expect it to be metal
Игрушка... Мышление.... Игрушка - поведееие
Not my choice . It looks out of scale and very toylike.
I would safe up some more money to get a lot better trailer instead of getting a (still rather expensive at 250 dollar) trailer that just isn't it .
