Re: 1:50 Dragline
Model man,
Thanks for the comment. I'm with you on the eyesight! Here is a shot of the bench with a lighted mag viewer! I have three of those suckers at each one of me hobby/shop areas! In the other pic you can se e the cast slew ring. I'm going to try exactly what you suggest, using a rubber wheel on a servo to drive up against the ring. Hard part will be finding space in the cab for the servo, in the right spot!   Jim

Pic from today's conversion progress
Here are the pictures of today's progress. Disassembly and took the hoist and drag drums out of the carrier bracket. Drilled thru the hubs and screwed thru and into the servo.
Gonna have to edit this after I get the pics moved... Stand by...

Re: 1:50 Dragline build pics
Okay, here are the pics...
         Had to notch the drum frame to allow inserting the drums back into the frame after screwing the servo to the drums. The shaft with the small pinion gear is to become the drive gear running against the ring gear. I'm loving this, hope you guys enjoy it half as much as I am. I hope to have it back together and running three channels by tomorrow afternoon! Jim Last edited by Rvjimd; 05-01-2013 at 11:36 PM. Reason: Some pics dirt make it...
