also thinking about how to get the high lift to work?? there might be enough room
for some actuators

Re: bigfords trucks
 

These little guys might work but I think they would even be a tight squeeze without butchering things. I got two of them recently for something else but haven't used them yet.

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Cheeky...lol

What is this "Google" you speak of?

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Looks good Bigford, what do you do to your lift axle to allow it to still float over bumps when it's in the down position?

Re: bigfords trucks
 

I used heavy thread for sewing leather. passed it through the servo arm
then around the mounts on the Tamiya steering axle free float when down strong
enough to hold the axle up

Re: bigfords trucks
 

Good idea! Thanks for posting.
