Re: Powered all-thread and nut lift
I used the Carson sissor style unit in my King Hauler dump truck. It is very smooth and powerful plus it's speed remains constant. It's designed for their trailer so it takes a bit of modification to fit between Tamiya frame rails but I found it well worth the work.

Re: Powered all-thread and nut lift
I have a devil of a time with Carson's site too. I got mine from PMD. It's in their Tamiya accessories section.

Re: Powered all-thread and nut lift
Yup, found it, and wow, $188. Yeah, I'll be working on my own design lol. They are nice though, and certainly worth the money I'm sure.

Do you have any pics or description of the mods you did to your Tamiya frame? It would be great to see how you mounted your Carson lift. Thanks in advance - Terry

Re: Powered all-thread and nut lift
I'm not sure if this is entirely possible or not, but instead of an electronic solution what about a mechanical one? What I mean is perhaps a variable pitch screw of some sort. Might be an easier solution, or might not
Just thinking out loud. Anyone have thoughts?

Re: Powered all-thread and nut lift
For a dump yes. However when you need space, the spindle would be better. For the same price in a tight model, like a say a tractor, I'd rather have the spindle even if it costs more.

The screwdrives we are talking about are for dump trailers or trucks or in the case of my TK70 I used it to lift the tail and deck. I am even going to use one on my tow truck and hide it and make fake cylinders to look like they are moveing it up and down. Travis

Re: Powered all-thread and nut lift
Farm tractors/front loaders. I have seen them on tractors specifically but they are similar to backhoes. There just isnt room for hydraulics and the spindles with right motor with gearhead (read small and expensive) will work.
