The servo is from rc4wd and is rated at 200oz at 6 volts. I'm running the same one for the drive and it has to grunt to move a full load. I might have to regear the output to get more power.
The scale weighs in pounds so 4 1/4lbs is quite a load for the truck.

That setup is real similar to the roller hoist's that I've seen on old bobtail dump's.
Great job on this one! Where did you buy the truck? I may have to buy a few of them.
Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

I got the truck from a co-worker who had it in his office. I found ones just like it on ebay.

Thanks Greg.
This little guy is going to be fussy as to the terrain it runs on, with smooth tires and no suspension it will have to spend it's service life on hard sufaces.
Hopefully it'll be done this monday and I can dedicate more time to the ADT.
