sipher172 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I thought I would start a topic to share the building process for this grain chaser. The chassis is from a Ros Samson Slurry trailer. The wheels are a little larger than the standards for the Richard Western GRS25, however they are similar to the wheels on some of the promotional video versions of the GRS25. Firstly I had to resize the chassis to fit the dimensions of the chaser bin. Then I built up a template of chaser body to test two different side heights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sipher172 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 I decided on the lower side height as the most representative of the actual trailer. I then built up the side walls of the trailer body, before gluing them into the final form. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Final few steps to go. Getting the mud guards to fit was a bit of a mission. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waiting for my trailer from Stablio Farmer to see how he does his, then I might have a crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Solartex is a plastic fabric used by RC Aeroplane people to wrap planes in. It makes really effective roll 8ver sheets as it cuts cleanly and rolls nicely holding shape. It's pricey though, I think last time I bought it it was £19 a meter. I use 3.8oz Waterproof fabric for roll over sheets these days, takes abit of care to cut without freying but looks the part when done.
