Oh man Freddy, you don't mess around! I ordered up the other parts you'll need to complete and get them out to you as soon as I get my grubby little hands on em!

Can't wait to get this thing dirty! (The black will show it better! haha)

Actually,I was waiting on a parts order from Japan,but since a large part of it is gone. I'm now waiting on kits.Don't know if I'll live long enough to see the parts order.
Rocknmayham,I myself find it easier to work on it with out the rubber in the way.
Yea Spudd,I probably will go broke pay'en you for paint work now.
Edwalsh,won't have pics for you till this babies done. She's a one of a kind. At least for me so far.
Well got the lift axle figured out.




Thanks for lookin!

The lift axle now works via the radio.

A quick vid of the power it has.

Now it's all down hill.
Thanks for lookin!

Freddy you killed it on that lift axle. I will have to remember that when I look at adding one to my hauler. Hope you don't mind if I kinda work off your idea.

Very excited sir! Does the servo lock into place or is the axle being held by the servo power when in the down position? Just wondering about servo power draw/heat issues eventually.

Freddy, Is the lift axle going to be steerable? Self-centering?

Ingenious lifting mechanism on that lift axle, Fred. I was kind of stumped on how to lift mine, on my Wedico, after going through all the trouble to give it a full range of travel, and retain the floating ability, but you've got it figured out pretty nicely. Good work on that!
