Thanks for the kind words.
Plumbed everything. New hardlines worked great. No leaks and I can tell the cylinders are a little faster.
Been dreading the electronics on this machine and the telehandler. Both are a very tight fit. Ended up unwrapping the pump ESC to replace the wires with reasonable sizes. Bummer they don't make low-current escs with the same telemetry features.

Built the top half of the barrier lift.

Made a slightly smaller reservoir to prevent to motor from rubbing against the pack.

theorizing placement. Machine has 5 ESC: Pump, two track motors, slew motor and electromagnet for barrier lift.

Looking kind of possible. Wired it all up and the two double-Channel ESCs are not acting right. Gotta dive back in, or switch over to the tried and true fingertech "tiny"
