You are welcome.
Since I had to order more parts, I have a more accurate list:
Radio system
Tamiya twin motor gearbox
shims for tamiya gearbox assembly (you loose about 10 to 20% of gear contact on some of them if you leave them sloppy)
silicone to seal gearbox up (makes it last a very long time)
2 x slotcar motors (tamiya motors are 3.5 volts and fry quickly)
Aluminum stock to make drive hubs
4-40 screws & washers to secure gearbox to chassis
Saber tooth motor controller
5 volt 5 amp (continuous) bec
Hitec Digital HS-7955 TG lift servo
2 x hitec hs-5065mg digital servos for bucket curl
Hitec servo programmer
3" Y harness to join the 2 bucket curl servos
2 x 12" male servo leads to extend the bucket curl servos
heat shrink for all of the bucket curl servo wiring
piece of bicycle inner tube for lift lever cover (need to post pics)
4-40 rod and clevis for lift lever
