And now I have another question: Hydraulic lines with T-couplers in them. Does anyone do this and/or know where I can get 2mm T-couplers? I have 4 sets of pistons running in parallel, and would like...

Re: Question about hydraulics and speed

4 cylinders, 10mm bore, 4mm shafts, 30mm stroke. 4mm hose coming down the upper links. The pump only has a 140cc flow rate. All four pistons are on the same valve.

Re: Anyone else work with 1./10 scale tanks?

I do not, but I am building a 1:10 10x10 recovery truck that should be able to comfortably recover those things, should I ever see them get stuck in person.

Re: 1/10th Scale?

Yeah, it seems like 1:12 and 1:14 is it unless you want to custom fabricate stuff.

I have a large truck I am building, which due to weight, I intend to put hydraulic steering on. The pump I have is 140cc/minute flow rate, and each of the 4 pistons is 10cc, obviously that gives me a...

The start of an MMRS Demonstrator

Here is is, my first real build. Standing 12" wide and 11" tall to the top of the cab, at 50" in length, here it is.

Re: Recommendation on TX system for a crane

I think that the Commander is excessive, the Taranis is probably more than enough. A dual reciever would also probably allow me to split the arduino load to 2 separate arduinos.

Yeah, I'll definitely be using an Arduino of my own. I'm not exactly sure how to do that though. The switching four channels on the fly would be great for flipping the sticks from crane to truck...

Re: Recommendation on TX system for a crane

Qx7 or taranis, or for a bit more, Horus? Are all three of these stick radios?

And what is a 3d stick?

Bigdogrod, 12 at a time is plenty. I need a set of 5 for the crane itself, 4 (maybe 5 if...

Re: Recommendation on TX system for a crane

I've looked into spectrum. Unfortunately it appears that they have discontinued their 12+ channel remotes. And I'm not sure I want to deal with a used remote.
