1:50 Dragline

More Progress...

I went to the hobby shop and bought two mini servos and successfully modified one to turn continuously! Ya, I was afraid I would end up with a inert hunk of plastic.

I cobbled up a piece of brass square stock and a wheel collar and got it to turn the hoist drum at a very pleasing speed going direct drive from the servo to the shaft of the drum! So, tomorrow I'm going to see if there is actually going to be room for two or maybe three servos and a battery and RX inside the cab.

I have also been playing with the idea of running a pulley system instead of direct drive. Got to think on both options and see how it goes...

Should be cool if this comes together
