Hi corabica007

Yes, the trailer should be uniformly scaled since this enables you to animate your parented trailer relative to the dummy without distortions.
About the scaling of the extrawheels for some reason I cannot see your pictures. However, always save your rig before recording just to be on the safe side.

hello Luigi,and thanks for your interest in my request
so the probléme of the scaling is fixed by scaling the craft trailer to fit as much as possible the model that i use for my animation.but the probleme now is that the extra-wheels that i linked with the triller moves a little bit among Y-axis (sides) when i start recording
so what's the probléme here and what is the solution
thanks
ps:sorry for my bad english,i m making a great effort to write well,but i'm still beginner in english,so i'm very sorry

Ok, so the important part in rigging a trailer is to fit the widht to your wheel width. The length of the trailer is unimportant, just move the hook to fit your hook pivot.
About the extra wheel I cannot view your pictures since they seem not to exist in the link you provided.
