Ok so tires were a limiting factor in what size haul truck can be made, and I am also limited if I can't figure out how to make telescopic cylinders. I'm making on out of brass first. Figure I can solder ends easier than brazing stainless. And brass is way easier to machine for me than stainless. If I can make these work I'm going to try and make the finished cylinders out of 416 stainless and solder/braze parts together. Pics above are a start, I have to make a small hole in first stage to allow oil to fill inner chamber on stage two. So these are in theory going to be very similar to the real deal multi stage hydraulic cylinders.
