If you put 7955tg hitec digital servos on there they can be programed for almost 180 degrees of rotation and they have over 350oz of torque! They'll easily lift it for you but, the catch is they are $99 a piece. When you consider the price of one hydraulic cylinder though the $99 price isn't that bad.

I would remove the servos, and operate them without a load to compair the throw. You may not have both servos timed correctly and they may be fighting each other.

Just a thought

A few more pics. You can see the tracks a little better here. Welded on my guarding at 5:30 this morning. Time to build the dash, seat and controls. I'm holding out on finishing the undercarriage and lifting rams because once it drives without losing a track I won't make time for the small details.

I'm posting a couple videos of the 955 in... well action I guess. It's the second time running it so the operator is a little rusty, at least the machine isn't. I installed a toggle switch down by the right track in an attempt to hide it more but when the track gets covered in dirt and you back up it shuts the machine off. I will be welding the hole up and moving the swich...http://youtu.be/lHR2pPX9Cos

I have a question... when I push into or pick up something and stall the bucket servos the sabertooth goes into protection mode and the tracks won't move until I relieve the tension on whichever servos are stalling. Is there a way around that? When the tracks stop turning the only way you can relieve the bucket is by lifting the boom so it kinda sucks.

Thanks
