Help on mechanical, telescopic cylinder.

[Lil Giants]

Are you Ian in the same area of Norway as Ole (vforce)? He's using a nifty electric screw drive from Carson (I can't find the product listing on Carson's site) that gives a smooth realistic lift speed from bottom to top & back again. It's quite powerful too.

There really is no comparison for scale hydraulics for dumpers and Scale Art makes a nice telescope hyd system. I haven't tried one myself yet, but maybe someday.

The Wedico telescope has been working good me, use one in each of three trks.

Hi,

I agree with the others that a long telescopic screw drive might be difficult to produce and have it function well. Here is a link to another forum where a gentlemen built an awesome bridge-layer tank with some short mechanical telescopic cylinders. Maybe his methods will work. I hope this helps. http://www.rcpanzer.de/apboard/thread.php?id=12739

They do have long telescoping screw hoist and it works off of plate under the hoist that turns the screw I have seen them but can't remember were. Ed
