I think its nearly finished

[ashleyb4]

I want to post some pics up as my camera has to go back monday and i wont get any more done on it between now and then so i thought ide post some pics up its almost done just a few small details.

So here is my mardave v12 with escot mk1 twin cam rally. And for a laught while doing the mardave rcing at Oswestry indoors ive got a caravan for it hehe. The caravan even has suspension



Ive got mini lite wheels for it


It makes the car with th caravan on it makes it twice as long as normal its huge now its going to be fun for peopel to try and overtake me as it hasnt lost any speed as the caravan is so light.


And to atach it ive used a servo post with a ballstud in it and screwed that to the back of the shell and on the caravan i have a long losi ball stud screwed on so it works just like a normal toe bar.



Things left to do repair My LED's for the car
Possibly look into putting led's into the caravan using a small plug between the car and the caravan.
Get some grey vinyl and make some windows.
Then RACE!!!!

Wat do you think.

I love it. Are you going to paint the trailer?

I remember "back in the day" racing indoors at Kiddy we had Christmas special caravan/trailer races. If you're not towing, you can't race. It was really quite a laugh.

None of them looked as good as your caravan though. Can we see the chassis without the shell?

[ashleyb4]

Its just a sheetof GRP which front suspension off a mardave and some area's cut out the shell is just held on with two screws.

I like it, alot.

maybe try and find a better fixing method for the axle/ballcup as i can see that coming off quite quickly.

the escort is ace, i like it.

[ashleyb4]

Ive been driving it aorund for abot half an hour today paul on my drive doing donuts and stuff and turning really sharply and it hasnt come off. Ill see another possability is a shock bottom.

glad you like took me alot to make even got mudflaps

Why not use an old CVD axle and cup joint suitabley modified for the Caravan hitch, will not unhitch unless say unscrewed from the the servo post.
The axle end could then go through the body and be fixed to the caravan chassis; much stronger and less liable to break the hitch end off the body in my opinion.

Lighting connection between car and caravan you could use say a BEC plug and socket with the coiled telephone wire for the cable, again just a thought for you to think about.

I have a water bowser that I tow behind a 4wd buggy on fun nights at my club.
It has monster truck wheels and tyres, the jumps are no problem with this setup as the connection is wire and spring; simple and strong.

I like your set up its more to scale than mine, and you should put the lights on both, maybe even a flashing blue one on the car roof and police signs along the sides of the caravan at least HaHa

Target on the back is a good idea too Ha Ha

Sorry I realise you dont want it targeted for the demolition derby type racing.

I think it should stay on my mum did drive it around for a bit i was very impressed but she drove it around avoided everything then she went up the drive between me and my next door nabours car andi was getting even more impressed when she went straight under my dads car and got it jamed under the wishbone. Dad had to lift the bodywork of the car to get it out. and it still didnt come off.
