Re: left over build (Cat 825C maybe )
Copper, truckmaker thanks a bunch
I've been giving this some thought since the hi-tech 645MG does a nice job of steering , I might give the firgelli actuators a shot for the blade functions . Anyone know the actual length of the 50mm stroke pin center to pin center closed ? I got plenty other places to put that pump and valves in

Re: left over build (Cat 825C maybe )
Well that's too bad... an all electric set up would have been perfect for this lil beast, all the extra space could've been used for steel & lead weight.
I'm really liking those crows feet, hoping it's sooner than later when you make another run.

Re: left over build (Cat 825C maybe )
I was going to go with firgellis (don't worry I got another place to use them ) but time is running short for cabin fever . Cylinder production is almost complete so ,WTH , get er done cap nuts and we good to go .
of course we throw nothing away stack is made from setup pieces and leftover tube . inside is a piston that had chatter in o-ring groves

Re: left over build (Cat 825C maybe )
Hey, Steve, looks like you hit another home run! How you got all that stuff under the hood is a magic trick in itself. Decals and glass will top it off. I really like the blade mechanism - just like the real thing.
You may have covered hydraulic cylinder making in another thread, but do you use single or double o-rings on the piston? O-ring for the rod packing? Ken
