Hi I'm trying to make a goosenecked trailer for a modified Arocs 6x4 cab, but have run into a bit of a problem. I want to have a detachable trailer, but building a fifth wheel in a life like manner puts too much strain on such as small piece. Is there a generally known method of constructing a strong coupling, that is also detachable? I did think about using the turntable in the Arocs set to act as a load bearer, with a frame on the trailer which would rest on the turntable, attached to the truck chassis, but it makes for a very high coupling height. Any and all thoughts welcome.

Thats something i tried to do using the those old flex axles they used in the star wars technics sets, amongst others. failed. The radius of these might be too tight however?

After building technic for nearly 30 years, this is the first set I have ever purchased 2 of. The basic construction allows for plenty of mods, and tweaks to both A and B models, including the use of the IR RC stuff, which is getting rarer these days. Most models have limited reconstruction possibilities these days, compared with the older studded technic ranges. It's good to see it come back.
