Re: Should I fuse a Sabertooth 2x5 ESC.

Re: Discussion on New Range of DC linear Actuators
Hi RCP, they do look very similar. Their spec sheet on the pdf is a jpeg so its illegible, I've emailed them for a better copy so we can asses the specs. I looked at the P-Series Firgelli's as well...

Re: Magom D11 hyd ram ratings?
OK thanks for the heads up Rimrock, appreciate your input. My dozer in 1:1 is just a little larger than a D11 in 1:1 so the D11/Bruder kit size will look pretty good in 1/16th. I'll get the dims and...
