So in the pictures you can see I mocked up the lifting and lowering cantilever with a servo horn, later I'll have a piece machined with a bearing in it. As the strut extends it lists the frame up off the axle,sliding on the axle pads

Awesome build. Looks like you know your way around metal work. Can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks man, I can't take too much credit for the metal work, I bought all the components from Russ@ true scale. We've been collaborating for awhile on the parts, I just tell him what I need and he does the rest. The builds on hold for a moment while waiting on some more parts, mainly the air components which are coming from Korea I think. I started doing some more research and came across robart, who seems to have the experience for the air system, once I get what I've previously ordered I'll be back on the emails with robart to finish it up.
