Old tired wrecker

Unfortunately not yet. I found Adam-12 a gearbox that should work once i figure out how to mill some hex adapters down to size for the wheels.
Also i haven't bothered with building the light circuits since my batch of cheap servo boards are overheating, i either need to add on parts / lower current draw.

Is there no way of making the beacons real rotators, maybe you could hide the drive motor in the cross beam. Real rotators would look awesome on the old truck.

Are there any pics/vids of this thang working at Cabin Fever?

I think the J-hooks were a little too long, i'd have liked more bumper on the sling. My Type 2 and Impreza seemed pretty stable though.

As for the servo winch drift problem, can you change the expo on those channels? Big deadband around center should help a bunch.

I still need to upload some of the other pics, and get the towing videos uploaded somewhere.

Thanks guys!
The little 360deg servos didn't like the big bad Bulldog. Just a bit shy on torque. I've got a larger pair I picked up for another project that didn't work out and I'm going to see if they'll fit. I purposely made the J hooks long to be sure they could grab something. Now that I know for sure the size needed I can shorten them up when I do the winch swap. I'll also mess with the dead band to get rid of the drift. She's still a work in progress!
