Re: Linear Actuators
Are you thinking the CTI's? Also Firgelli (now Actuonix) is developing a more realistic cylinder.

Running hydraulics in the cold?
This will be my first winter with my hydraulic machines. Any tips or things to watch while running in the cold? Is it even a good idea? Doesn't get real cold here mainly 30's during the day.

Re: RC4WD Pump question
Not sure what the stock output shaft looks like in the pump, but If you have a lathe at your disposal, take the pump apart and see if you could turn a new output shaft all together?
