Yes good ol princess auto...lol...the valve body and pump are from them (got them on sale too heehee) the cylinders are from Automation Direct. Not sure yet what motor will be used on the pump yet, need to turn it at 1500rpm to get the flow needed but I don't actual know how strong the motor needs to be, if I put in a motor that is to big it will just eat battery power. Still need to try runs some tests with pump RPM and see what flow rate is like, going to just use a cordless drill to do the tests on the pump three speed drill will give me some ranges to play with. You would need two 3408 engines to run the full scale shovel.....even then two kitties might not be enough....lol
