MJet Ragnarok boat, towed by a Redcat (Gen8) IH Scout II crawler.

I printed the boat and built it last Fall, but only recently got it properly powered with a HW 120a ESC, and 1800kv motor on 3s. Then I knew I needed to tow it, and the Scout has the grunt for it! I bought the trailer files and printed from PETG with TPU bunk pads. All new bearings and stainless hardware with brass inserts, and some beater busted Tamiya tires for now. Maybe later get some proper trailer tires.

Anyways, just gave it a little test drive this evening, hopefully a proper launch this weekend. I need to print a drop hitch for proper ride height, though I’m a bit suspect that the PETG hitch will hold up to off road trailering?!

So yeah, I’m making a boat trailer for my MJet printed boat, and I wanna pull it behind my Redcat Gen8. The car already has a receiver hitch installed, and I’ve used it for mounting flags.

What trailer hitch are y’all using? A ball type? Pintle? Something else? Bonus points for DIY ideas, but I’ll also accept if there’s something that’s just too good not to buy…
