Gearheadcurt Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 ok I have been building and racing my little BMW's for a while and its getting to the point where they should really be trailered. Which leads into my next question. What can a little 620 pull? I know the motor isnt anything to hual a full size trailer but I'm talking about the frame, springs, and rearend. what have you guys pulled with yours? motor wise I'm thinking abouta small block of some sort Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 just the one bmw? truck should be just fine, as long as its just a flat bed and not an enclosed Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 buy a big American beater truck. the weight will throw the datsaun truck around. Quote Link to comment
Gearheadcurt Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 the car weighs right about 2500, plus tires, plus trailer.... what do you think? Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Bad idea.It's not a matter of what it can pull,as it can pull more than you would think.It's a matter of stopping.ANy brake configuration on a 620 will be over-powered by a car trailer EMPTY,never mind loaded. Quote Link to comment
Gearheadcurt Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 how about a car dolly? Quote Link to comment
