How would you go about making this trailer sturdier?
BlockTalk Summary
A LEGO enthusiast is seeking advice on how to reinforce a custom-built trailer designed to carry six cars, based on the LEGO Technic set 42098. The user, /u/sunderex, is particularly concerned about the hitch area's sturdiness and the overall design of the hitching mechanism.
The user is modifying the original set 42098 to create a standalone trailer that can be attached to a semi-truck. The primary challenge lies in ensuring the trailer's structural integrity, especially around the hitch, given the considerable weight it will need to support. The user is open to ordering additional parts to improve the design.
Given the scale of the project and the need for robustness, reinforcing the hitch area is crucial. Consider using Technic beams and pins to create a stronger connection. You might also explore using a ball joint hitch for greater flexibility and stability. For those working on similar large-scale LEGO projects, having a LEGO storage organizer can be incredibly helpful for keeping parts organized.
I'm doing a custom build of 42098 as a standalone trailer which can accommodate 6 cars and rest on my semi. I'm struggling with the list around the hitch as well as the general design of the hitching part. Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm working with what I've got now but im willing to order some more parts. This thing is huge. submitted by /u/sunderex [link] [comments]
