Nice build!! I can't imagine working on something that small.:cool:

Thanks Brian, it is a tamiya gearbox that I seal up to keep dirt out.

It is a blast to operate. I didn't want to get it dirty because I might sell it so, I figured loading stone would show how much power and agility it has...I just finished it this afternoon and haven't gotten the hang of running it smoothly yet.

Thanks ModelMan, it can be tedious.

Thanks Steve, I was surprised how much power it has myself. When I first powered it up the bec from the saber tooth esc wasn't enough to run everything so, I added a 5 volt 5 amp (continuous) bec feeding just the lift and curl.

Very nice conversion, you were pretty smooth on the controls too. Do you mind if I ask about how long it took to do.

Thanks, it took about 50 hours to build. I spent 2 days just making and figuring out the mounts for the twin bucket curl servos and doing the wiring for them. It took a lot of time figuring out how the get all of the servo power transfered to the lifting arm as well. The more I think about it, it was probably than 50 hours but, I enjoy making these creations:) it feels like driving powerful little robots when they are done:D
