Re: newbie 1st build custom grand hauler
 

So in the pictures you can see I mocked up the lifting and lowering cantilever with a servo horn, later I'll have a piece machined with a bearing in it. As the strut extends it lists the frame up off the axle,sliding on the axle pads

Re: newbie 1st build custom grand hauler
 

Awesome build. Looks like you know your way around metal work. Can't wait to see the final product.

Re: newbie 1st build custom grand hauler
 

Thanks man, I can't take too much credit for the metal work, I bought all the components from Russ@ true scale. We've been collaborating for awhile on the parts, I just tell him what I need and he does the rest. The builds on hold for a moment while waiting on some more parts, mainly the air components which are coming from Korea I think. I started doing some more research and came across robart, who seems to have the experience for the air system, once I get what I've previously ordered I'll be back on the emails with robart to finish it up.
