Some more pics of the trailer as it was built...

[trx-4-blog]

Printed myself a big ass trailer!! 😁😁

Another design from Thingiverse, it's not 100% finished yet but good enough to run.

Another muddy shot..

Back in the mud. Extra weight hasn't made much difference at all to the performance, but looks loads better.

Finally got it back outside...

[trx-4-blog]

View from the front and rear, all items off Thingiverse and all printed at 0.1mm on ender 3 pro. I'm really happy with how it's turned out so time to get it muddy.

Then it will time to start printing the expo trailer...😁

Current look of roof rack, 2 more Jerry Cans to go on and then maybe a couple of bikes? Or maybe some nice little storage boxes I have found a print for. Also need to get the spades back on somewhere too.

Haven't actually run it for weeks now, been too busy on the roof.

Printed Jerry Cans with separate spouts to give good detail. Glued together in pairs and ratchet strap for detail. Cut holes with a body reamer and then glued in garden twine for attaching to the roof rack.

Here is yet another Jerry Can for 1:10 scale crawlers etc, I realise there are oodles already, but none of them were quite right for me, so

Latest print, scale oil drum printed in blue and then black details with pen. Printed from Thingiverse. Cut 2 small holes underneath and then clamped to the roof rack with garden twine. Added the ratchet strap for detail.

Oil Barrel, lid is quite tight so you can lever it out using the top hole.

Not been driving the TRX 4 for a while..... been too busy printing stuff for the roof on my new 3D printer 😁😁

[trx-4-blog]

Current overall look.

Next changes will be wheels that look more in keeping with LR and then some items for the roof rack. Get it loaded up.

A friend from work 3D printed me some sandladder mounts for the roll cage. Great fit after a little fettling.

Definitely buying a 3D printer soon....

Did some work on the body by bringing out the details around the panels down each side and across the back. Not done the front yet as it needs all the details taking off the front to do it properly.

Spent some time modding the new ali front bumper with some bright red tow hooks. Drilled through to the cavity in the bumper from underneath and then bolted through. Love how it looks now.

Windscreen and rear door window decals replaced. They became badly scratched on a roll a few weeks back.

New snorkel fitted from fastrax, really like the detail although the moulding for the body shape isn't 100% as you can see, sits away from the body at the bottom.
