I am trying to do this on somewhat of a budget, whatever that is in this hobby.
The rams/screw drives is what's freaking me out, but I am starting from the bottom up.

Pumptech & RockNMayhem i'll be looking to you guys for feedback.

So which servos would be the best for the tracks?
Which servo for the 360 degree rotation of the cab?
Is this spur gear still the #1 choice for the cab http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAFJE&P=7

Thanks
Matt
Hey Matt
I'm no expert ,just been through a lot of trial and error,lol
The Hitech 645mg should work fine for the 360 turntable spin,and tracks
The spur gear you show is the same one i'm using,have had good luck with it.
Here's a link for a 6 wire slip ring .
