Very new to this aspect of RC. Not familiar with the 1/14 Tamayia stuff, but the "Grand Hauler" looks like it would adapt to a dump fairly easily leaving off the sleeper and installing hydraulics.

First, will the Tamyia handle such use?

I am a scratch builder at heart, done ships, airplanes and helicopters. Do metal work, soldering, welding. Can work just about any medium. Thinking either heavy styrene (don't like that idea much) or sheet like brass or steel....possibly aluminum sheet as I have a tig.

Biggest question is Figarelli linear servo or hydraulic?

What is my inexperience not looking at?
