"I do not have it infront of me here, but the difference (for lack of a better description)is one pushes and one pulls.

It's all based on the spring location inside shock unit.

A= is the collapsed unit that you have to pull against spring
B= is a sprung unit that you have to push against spring to shorten."



Perfect! That explanation was exactly what I needed. Thanks
Your trailer is looking awesome. I like the tire rack.

Thanks, While little things dry and get buttoned upon the trailer. I am working on what will be sitting on trailer. LOL

Nice build...

But I have a silly question...

Instead of using the voltage step-up board, why not use a 3S 11.1V LiPo battery mounted under the Goldhofer instead.. A small, plug in low voltage alarm would take care of any over discharge issues...

You could use the same LiPo battery to run any lights etc as well..

Just a thought...

Re: Carson Goldhofer Trailer
 

And while that is a great question, the reason is the motor that runs the ramps would be fried at 11.1v.

You see the motor is supposed to be run at 3v, I am kind of pushing it at 7.2v. :jaw:

So the Step-up is only to really run the wireless controller. There are many ways you could wire something like this and it all depends of course what what your planning on running.

Re: Carson Goldhofer Trailer
 

Sorry, My bad... I just assumed that the motor was 12V (as well) and that's why you chose to use a 12V wireless controller..

I had that around extra from another project years ago. It was easier to recycle. :D
