Default Re: Convert Grand Hauler to dump???

Thanks guys. Heck you gotta have something to put the dirt into to move it. Right?

Looks like this may be the first item as one of the hobby shops I had stuff on consignment sold an item and it is enough to get the kit and speed controller.

I have seen on ebay I think some mechanism for dumps that the servo attaches to.
This:

Is this what I need?

Thanks folks, I may be a PIA for awhile.

That's the unit I originally installed in the build I linked to above and they work great for smaller bodies. If your using a grand hauler you might want to build a screw drive. They are inexpensive and work quite well. You'll find pictures and parts list here on the forum. Your other option is like Bigford said talk to Reg at RCP's, he builds really nice dump boxes to your specs and the screw drive also.

Check out this thread starting at post #8, it will give you an idea of what you need to build a screw drive.
