To move the bottom dump open and close used a firgelli actuator attached underneath to the closest one and a peace of aluminum attached the two openings. If any more question just ask.

hey, i found this thread but the pictures are gone. is it possible to post them again somehow? I am doing Tonka RC Conversion. I want to see how you did the actuator. I was thinking vertical lift, but sounds like you may have done a hinged lift underneath. if I could see the pictures it would really help me out. Thanks!
