Finally! It's time to start the trailer build! This weekend I build a completely custom trailer axle from scratch. On it, I decided to put some RC4WD stamped steel beadlock wheels and 1.55 Dirt Grabber Tires! This is going to be a very "custom job" heavy series that is going to result in a one-of-a-kind trailer for my scale trail trucks. Apologies for any focus issues, as I am using a camera that I am new to filming with, and the music I slapped together myself! Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

I know loads of adults who regularly fork out a small fortune buying this sort of stuff ready-made because they've never taken time to learn all the skils that you already have. You've done a good job there, I hope you're proud of yourself.

Very impressive. I’m a dad, searching YT for a video on how to fabricate custom RC car trailers for a build I am working on with my 11 y/o son. When I came across this video I had a huge smile on my face the whole time, knowing how proud of you your father must be! And, hoping to be in a similar position to teach my son some sweet fabrication techniques soon as well! What a great motivator for anyone looking to get into building custom mods with their kids. Kuddos to you and your old man!

This is awesome, especially seeing a younger person oxy welding. Great work!

Young lady this is the best video I have come across for axles. I subbed and liked. Two years ago I built my son a trailer for our RC's. The only thing it's not finished due to axles. You're design is awesome and I will use it for our trailers. If that ok with you. My next trailer build is for a Spartan boat. Time to watch your videos!

[Rustybucket]

Good job kiddo! You said you hoped someone would be inspired by this video. Consider me inspired and impressed.

[RCRoads]

Great job! It's amazing to see someone so young to be so skillful with fabrication.

[mattreetz]

Might have been 4yrs ago that you did this build but I'm impressed, wasn't sure how or what to use for axles but you opened up different of thinking for me ... thx ... Kool video...

[oceanstaterccrawlers]

I tell ya what, I'm 42 years old and bye the tone of your voice I can tell you are much younger.but i just wanted too say great video buddy, I will be building my axles using your method...keep up the great work, awesome too see young men like your self using creativity.

[crookedriver]

Dude this is absolutely awesome. I'm using your video to learn how to make my own trailer that's wide enough to hold my slash 4x4

[brandonholmes]

I've been looking for something like this for a couple months...when I stumbled across this I couldn't believe the detailed and professional video that you put out. I'm hoping I can create as close to what you have here for my trailer build. Nice job! and thanks for documenting this! Keep it up you've got something good going here!

[J_rios]

Good job kid. Very nice. Tell your old man I said, Good work.
On you.

[josephmuscat]

Let me tell you young lady, I been working in a trailer/ fabrication shop for 25 years and have taught many people how to fabricate, you have a special set of skills and you will go far ! God Bless!

[robdiangelo]

Great job mate enjoyed watching the video

[RC-Crawlers]

Great idea using the lathe to square up the tap. Nice work!

[lancepietila]

Awesome work! Very impressive! I’m looking to build a RC trailer as well and I will definitely be using this method for the axles. With that set up you have access to. Your pops must build hot rods or do some sort of sweet custom stuff.

Awesome work...See I told you that you're a great builder!!! I agree with seafax, I too am impressed with your skills and creativity. I grew up being a tinkerer and learning from my Dad, mostly car stuff, but I can't tell you how much money and headache I've saved from possessing the fundamental skills I learned under his tutelage in his garage, not to mention the feeling of accomplishment along the way. Looking forward to this build series

[TrillMurray]

Great idea though making the flare for the bearing! I think I'll try this

[crookedriver]

When your in your 20s you will be so wanted in a fabrication shop. Just because of how knowledgeable you are!

[darthbaker]

Great job on the axles. Love ICB root beer and black cherry soda.

I can’t wait to see the finished product, I’ve left a sub and a like. I’m definitely watching all your videos. 😁
