Great work. The augers really do the trick.

Hey guys thanks for the comments.
Hey Sparkycuda ,Parts list for the rams.
I"ve been looking at some other ways to connect the rams to the servos,
the method that I show in the pics above (first post) seemed to work ok for a while then it started slipping a little under strain.
Come up with this method and it seems to work much better.Weld the bit to a short piece of SST tubing.
Parts needed
3/8" SST tubing with 1/4" ID (seems to work the best)
1/4" wood auger bit or masonary bit ( much cheaper)
I used # 4 drill bit ,#4 tap ,#4 set screw ( If you can find bit ,tap,set screw smaller that would work to)
Pic to follow on my ram

Hi all
Took a revisit on the rams. Tried a piece of 1/2" SST tubing and the 3/8 " slides perfect in it.Able to hide the auger bit.I 'm thinking it looks a little better.
Had to cut out a portion of the sides,the 1/2" sst was rubbing and sticking .There is a lip that sticks out on the side of the model.Need to mask it again and paint the rest of the side,did not blend as well as I thought.
Make a floorboard for the cab(had to cut out ,room for battery) hide the wires and that should pretty well do it.
