Making tie downs for Tamiya 1/14 scale flat bed trailer. Using materials I just have laying around.

[@MrTom5414]

Great job!!! Straps on passenger side are legit. Driver doesn't want to be on the side of the truck that has traffic if the load has to be rechecked!

[@digitrc]

Safety first!

[@thatsmyrc]

pretty darn slick and looks great!

[@digitrc]

Works great too. I’ll have that video up next Friday.

[@thatsmyrc]

@@digitrc that’s the icing on the cake then 😁. They looked in video as if the were going to be functional just fine 👍🏼

[@user-ss7iq1zy3r]

[@r.ccustomtruckingsydneyaus4632]

rap the pin around the cleaver clever what ever u called it. so one end is attached to the opposite side too locking in. . then dont have to worry about making an losing pins all the time.

[@digitrc]

Let me know what you think of my pins next Friday. I will have a video testing the tie downs. I like the length of them to give me leverage.

[@r.ccustomtruckingsydneyaus4632]

easy way of blacking rope. get a receipt book . the ink side. and squash it between book ink. there u go both sides dun even then. some tipps for you

[@digitrc]

Great idea on the carbon paper. I’ll have to give that a try.

[@thatsmyrc]

@@digitrc I was thinking old Coffee grinds aging

[@r.ccustomtruckingsydneyaus4632]

i bet you wish you had more guys around that are into r.c trucks n stuff. shit i wish i had more around me. but its not for everyone hey. good job

[@digitrc]

True that. The only guys I know around me are just into bashing or high speed cars. Not my jam. I love the trucks and rc construction. Thanks for the feedback too. I appreciate it.

[@bannanapancake]

I just found some guys here in Utah that are into it, I thought it would just be my friend and I, keep looking guarantee there’s someone around

[@digitrc]

@@bannanapancake I’ve found guys that are into it but not into it. As in they like it but won’t invest in equipment. I’ll keep looking.

[@bannanapancake]

@@digitrc - I hear ya, I just dropped 8000k on a set up.. it’s definitely an investment. If your ever in Utah (🤔) drop me a line, be happy to move some material with you or anyone;)

[@digitrc]

@@bannanapancake awesome!

[@dionhutchins7300]

Do you have template for these mate?

[@digitrc]

No I do not have a template for them. They were kind of a “one off” since it was using material I had laying around. But they are working fantastic and I can put a lot of tension on the tie down with this setup.

[@dionhutchins7300]

@@digitrc ok well Thankyou I’ll try to replicate them. They looked and worked awesome cheers

[@digitrc]

@@dionhutchins7300 the clevises are for rc planes and can be found on most rc web sites. The ribbon was from Amazon. The metal pieces were scrap from my Tamiya kit. The u shaped metal is closet shelving material I had left over.
