I just got...

Post by AlloySkull » Wed Jun 11, 2008 4:35 pm

A quad trailer in the mail. My dad got it for me from Badcat, and didn't tell me, I guess you could call it a suprise. I don't see what's really wrong with them. Before actually owning one, they seemed dumb, but they're kind of cool. Although I had to take the figures legs off before he would fit into the f*cking seat. =/ Broke one of the gun barrels fighting him, too. But it's okay, because it was free, and it's actually not too bad. :D

But is it true that you can't tow it? :?

Yesss...I've always been mystified on why 21C makes 1:18 scale armor for their 1:18 scale figures...that just DON'T FIT! :roll:
The trailer is pretty cool though!

Stranger things have happened. The response around here to the QT was....shall we say...underwhelming, :lol: but I still picked up a couple just to salt away, and they are still available at on TRU store in my area.

I got one from Badcat as well. They took forever to get to my local TRUs and the initial Badcat price + shipping was cheaper than the TRU price. It is an odd choice considering what else could have been made, but in a certain sense it was logical considering its use of existing parts. The "vehicle" is neat, detailed, and looks good being pulled by my WC-63 truck.

To get it to be towed, I made a little loop out of wire and attached it to the hitch on the trailer. The wire loop was then put on the hitch on the truck so the trailer can be pulled.
