Ya I watched you videos about it. My lhs I bought it from are really good. I race with the them so I have a good relationship with them. I would tear it apart and fix it but I work away from home so I hope one week will give it enough time to get a new motor and everything sent. And they have a phone number for rc4wd so that'll speed it up.i do like my machine it is power full and at the price it's a good starter one. Next is a payloader gotta add to my fleet.

To move the bottom dump open and close used a firgelli actuator attached underneath to the closest one and a peace of aluminum attached the two openings. If any more question just ask. ( it makes sense in my mind but that doesn't mean it does for everybody else haha) on to pictures

hey, i found this thread but the pictures are gone. is it possible to post them again somehow? I am doing Tonka RC Conversion. I want to see how you did the actuator. I was thinking vertical lift, but sounds like you may have done a hinged lift underneath. if I could see the pictures it would really help me out. Thanks!

pics are not showing, but the video link works. This is a bottom dump trailer, not a regular dump truck...
