Trailer Design Challenge (closed)

25.4k Rymanx03  3.4 years ago

Hey! Here's an interesting challenge for ya. Here I have a functioning, small trailer frame in need of some serious attention. After putting two hours or so getting this to work with my current project (including tweaks, tests and actually making it look like a frame), I'm ready to show you and let you have some fun with it.

So, without further ado, here are the rules:
1. Please keep things quasi realistic, aight? If its something crazy heavy, then towing it will be an issue. 2. Frame height and the (funky looking but effective) leg gotta stay where they are. It took a lot of work to get it to fit as it does, so it would definitely be appreciated if it stayed as is. Suspension kits are iffy, but feel free to add it in.

Lastly, frame extensions are welcome, provided heights stay. If you need any scaling, use any of my more recent civilian truck builds (ie the Brute). They all fit the same sizing, so it works out.

(Added: Don't worry about powering your trailer, I got that covered ;) )

Scoring will work like this:

appearances are the main factor here, as I have most of the functions figured out. Three people (me included) will tactically observe your designs, and decide the scoring and placing.

I personally will test to ensure it still functions, and that the build isn't too heavy. Date is tbd, so keep an eye out for any updates.

Next, take as many attempts as you want! all are welcome.

Last but not least, prizes. Because this is kinda a small thing, the winner of this boyo will get ten upvotes if possible. One upvote will be given regardless if it meets the requirements above. As well, a follow if I haven't already.

So, have fun, and keep an eye out for the end date! and please, don't be afraid to ask any questions. Have fun!
