Really like your loader build, good job!!

kind of slowly going that way but the room and cost. but it may cost less in the long run you know .

thanks i only got one more body part that styrene,the counter weight. just waiting on slow time at work to cut a new counter weight out of metal

the tactic one is all metal, its the gear right after the the motor, it breaks of one two teeth and that the end of it, also the tactic it kind of in a holding patern because the replacement gear kits are all on back order everywhere!

the hitec one is a nicer weaker one but it dose the same thing but the gears after the motor is plastic, and the rest are metal??? go figure???

i would go bigger badder servo but room and power. my whole system is 7.4 and most really powerfull servos are 7.4 so not enough power in the loader for all the servo and a power monster like that.

Something like this one would be ideal.
