Standing ovation Bob 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@BlueDually4x4]

The trailer does look substantially better with some paint and detailing. I am impressed the chrome did not chip or flake off at all after soaking in super clean.

[@damnyankee656]

I hauled a Howitzer tank from Fort Drum, NY to Sebring, FL on a 3 axle Fontaine 3 axle depressed rail removable goose neck (RGN) trailer. Tractor was a 3 axle International semi Tractor with a 10 speed and deep reduction gearing for steep ascents and decents. The trailer itself sat an inch off of the ground. The Tank was positioned to the very rear most of the trailer, with the gun barrel facing forward.

[@Chunky246]

Knocked it out of the park on this one.

[@jamesfisk2758]

Love it... you have inspired me to get very creative with my builds. Thanks Bob.

[@alanhafer828]

Once again, Bob, you did a beautiful job 👏

[@winfordnapier6414]

I watch the video on my phone all the time

[@lars-uweschubert898]

👋Bob great job and good work of all the projects 👍💪🚚, nice idea’s for my inspiration next time

[@rivierarc]

Really like the look of this trailer for a future project.

[@RichB07]

Unreal . Amazing work .

[@zonegamma8197]

Sooooo inspiring thanks

[@Ruzzo-76]

Wow Mr.. Bob amazing videos from you GOD bless you always and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@AnthonyWiddowson]

Wow! Trailer looks awesome!

[@jpkmates]

Awesome, simply detailed and awesome from build to video great job.

[@MatthewJorgensen1968]

I will be considering this trailer now. I have a printed version but don't trust the strength to carry my Hunia excavator.

[@darronwilliams8171]

Another great video and that's some very nice truck and trailer great work

[@67andersong]

great trailer video, can not find a supplier in the UK yet but will keep looking

[@zamoragera13]

Very nice sir 👌👍

[@lukes5533]

Love it , great stuff Bob.👍

[@NutjobGTO]

I haven't even finished my first truck and trailer and I think I've already discovered my next project. The spring-loaded contact pads and the wires and motor in the gooseneck have me curious about using the Beier's 'motor' circuit to both lower the deck and unlock the gooseneck through the radio.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, future video!

[@robhighway8366]

Nice work on the trailer only after i take it apart i notice that you can add a sidemarker light at the rear of the trailer so to bad you didnt notice that. The places you use for the Beier LM-BT-16-4 Bluetooth lightmodule and battery is the same as i would place it but most of all i like your build

[@DrDiff952]

Bob, were you able to use the LM-BT-16-4 to power the Diecast Masters lights or did you replace the Diecast Masters lights?

[@cwmbc]

one thing to consider. what are the full size laws for max axle weight? then divide that by the load weight. then that gives you the actual number of axles needed to make this trailer look fully scale. the tractor unit alone would be overweight on axles. its scale haul weight is 44 metric tonnes.

[@charleskuhn3110]

Bob👍👍👍✌✌

[@mikeyorke5492]

Wondering what type of surface prep you did before painting the trailer? Did you use a primer or scuff up the surface? It looks too shiny/smooth to take paint very well. Great looking job!

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I just painted it, no scuffing. Took the paint fine. I do wash with dish soap first.

[@bowbender5095]

With a name like Diecast Masters I was expecting diecast and not injection molded

[@macb00kemdanno]

My thoughts exactly. I thought it would have at least a metal frame, but all I see is shiny (cheap) plastic. Not sure why they charge over $200 for that…

[@jimmieburnett5273]

Hello Bob I consider you a master builder! I have one question for you have anyone ever built a 1/14th scale car holler for the Tamiya tractors? I am the visually impaired builder that built my 1st kit about 4 months ago, it turned out fantastic! I now would like to build a car hauler trailer for my next kit build!

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I saw you put this on the Tamiya Truck Open Studio Facebook page. Great place to ask. I am sure you will get some pictures!

[@ralphbooger4756]

if you havent already then also have a look and ask around on the "rc trucks and construction" forum... i dont think there are any "mass produced" car hauler kits but i have seen some scratch builds, and if i remember right there might have been someone making limited number of kits.

[@bryanherchler670]

Bob will your blue tooth wireless unit work with the spectrum receiver

[@ClipDog]

Been following about this build, was wondering, did you ever figure out how to wire up the tilting neck on the trailer and get it to work?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I looked at it and will do a future video on using the neck motor and the lights.

[@ClipDog]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC Thanks for your response and look forward to seeing it.

[@charliewilderness907]

I brushed my plastic windsheld in halloway House Quick Shine abd it dried clody. What did wrong??

[@drinternatg6391]

Who’s a pretty boy then Winston?

[@jessiebass54]

Will this trailer work with the 1/14 grand hauler? Also you have a awesome channel!!!

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Yes, works fine with a Grand Hauler.

[@Rocketman442-RC]

Yes I have 2 of these trailers and it works great with my King Hauler Grand hauler and Globeliner

[@rickiejones9229]

DCM oughta give you a Franchise, that trailer looks magnificent. Question though, did you reinstall those two metal strips, you didn’t mention them when you did the wiring. Ah one more question, how are you going to get the gooseneck to operate? I’m sure the Biers system will have a servo connection for that, correct? In closing though, as I said magnificent, you do superior work on your projects. Thank you for sharing and showing how to get it done.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Will do a future video on the neck motor and the lights. I did not need to reinforce the trailer for the load on this one.

[@paulkamokujr4655]

I need some help.well I bought the new super clodbuster grey edition and I really want to run a lot of lights & sound on it what would you recommend

[@kirkabbott2288]

Do you have the lights in your store for the low boy

[@andrew.r5719]

I would love to start making rc trucks but i dont know were to start or how to wire themnup and after watching your videos ive got a faint idea but not crystal clear can someone help me figure out what is the best starter truck and how to wire it up?

[@user-irb]

Barvo! Where can buy Bluetooth board? Website is on vacation now

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Back open on March 20th!

[@user-irb]

@@HobbyconceptsLLC okok Tks a lot

[@kirkabbott2288]

I want to know do you plan on making any videos of swapping out the parts on the line of die cast masters western star rc trucks I seen the one for the lowboy trailer

[@jasonwhite1001]

How did you raise the gooseneck. Out of the box from DM its low and didn’t have clearance of the truck fenders

[@jasonwhite1001]

NVM. I was able to open the motor compartment, loosen the drive and manually extend it and put it back together. Looking forward to the video on how to make that work! Thanks Bob.

[@jamesmeredith381]

I don't like the manual disconnecting I would rather spend double or more to do it by remote control

[@winfordnapier6414]

How can I get one please send me a text I have been wondering if I could get one please let me know

[@winfordnapier6414]

Please let me know where I can get one please 🙏

[@roberthunt8883]

Will that trailer work to haul the bull dozer?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I would peg the load limit at about 17 lbs.

[@benjaminwilliams3568]

Just to inform you. Un real life Military Transportation always have Two persons in tge cab. Driver and assistant Driver\Guard. Your truck is incomplete sir.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

It is a nice detailed/looking trailer. But it’s not inexpensive. Nothing RC is inexpensive to us common folk.
