Frame mounted 5th wheel ramps by Bluedually4x4

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

This is a 5th wheel ramp for 1/14th scale radio control semi trucks and is based on ramps typically found on trucks that pull low load or low boy trailers. It allows the truck to back under the goose neck of trailers that don't have landing gear and the king pin sits lower to the ground.
They are designed to fit snugly on the stock frame of Tamiya or other 1/14th scale RC semi trucks. The frame rails need to have 23mm cut off the rear so these will reach the stock Tamyia 5th wheel location. This also keeps the frame from being too long and possibly causing clearance issues with other trailers you might have.
The light buckets will hold a 5mm LED. Only the outer most hole for the mud flaps will be printed. I did not make mounting holes as this allows you to get them adjusted to your truck easier and I am not sure if aftermarket frame rails have the same holes as the stock Tamyia ones.
I would suggest printing them upside down as it will shorten the print time by 2 hours in my testing, will use less filament, and require less support clean up after printing.
