Hi Dave, I have had my Raceking trailer since March, the Qld distributer lives only 20min from us and was extremely helpful with demo, delivery etc, I purchased in kit form and took a day to put together with father and brother assisting.

The main features are that it is single axle so can be easily man handled around when unladen, tows very well (we used it to take the Cobra down to the Nationals and back), has a good towing capacity due to the lighter overall weight of the trailer, is made up of heavy duty hot dipped galvanized components which are very well designed, lowers down through the axle for easy drive on/off of low cars, raises up to 900mm above the ground for use as a mobile hoist (my first use was to replace the sump - no floor), the Cobra wheels are secured by ratchet straps through the ladder ramps (just need to think about the location of the ratchets), we also have the spare wheel carrier/wheel, winch and I think they are putting together a front race wheel rack soon.

Just tweaking a few small things (eg the mudguards don't need to lose their side steps - just add supporting brackets - hides some of the wiring too), also best to keep the jack compressed or wrapped when not in use to protect the ram from discolouring, it bounces around a bit when towed unladen even with the tyre pressures reduced (as suggested by Raceking) but nothing to worry about.

I plan to set up in the shed when not in use on a hitch bolted to the floor/wall or attached to a vehicle and utilize the trailer as a parking spot for the Cobra - keeps both undercover and is ready to use when required.

Matt (Raceking Brisbane) sends kits around the country but I think there is also a distributer in WA.

Very happy with the trailer, I have attached a photo from the recent Goulburn trip.
