So, I figure if I have one 200oz inch servo on each track that should be more than enough power to propel the entire crane up a steep hill. Worst case scenario is the 200oz inch servos are not strong enough and then I'll just have to swap them for Hitec 7955tg servos (well over 300oz inches of torque @ 6volts) that cost $100 a piece. I have one of these servos in my Mack dump truck running the dump mechanism and the servo has so much power that even if you overload the bed with dirt the servo doesn't even sound like it is working hard to lift & dump it.

WOW... Scott speaks Greek Or at least that's what I am hearing.
