That is awsome! I might end up using that technique to lift a bed of a 1/50 dump truck, when i get around to it.

I did find a gearmotor that is 6mm in dia. and a 7mm tube that the gearmotor will slide into the tube. Then using another 6mm tube that will slide in the 7mm tube that will be attached to a nut thats driven by a screw. All i am doing is waiting for the stuff in the mail.

Here is the motor that will drive my actuator, just waiting on the tubes to put it in.http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...165241_958.jpg

Needs paint, but this dozer is to small for real hydraulics so here the next best way for a realistic look.http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...201404_227.jpg

Ok round two! So had to put off my project for a few years, ok more than a few years. Hey im back at it now. Cool thing is that over time rc equipment and such have gotten smaller! Ive upgraded from a 4 channel to a 6 channel receiver, smaller battery and such plus more. Im still a bit busy in life but im going to start putting in some time and finally finish this little do-da! Really lately been brain storming on how to finish the dozer.

Alright got the screw drive actuators glued together... Got to do some touch ups to make it look cleaner.
