WRECKER
So, me and my buddy went fishing, but the day was hot and fish didn't bite.
So, we decided to go back home and build a wrecker. What should we use for the telescopic boom? asked my purring buddy. Well, how about this luggage dolly? I suggested. That will do, and let the the building begin. Firstly, is to separate the sections and attache a nut for the screw drive. The wooden block, serves as a guide for the long screw. Geared motor added m/albums/t436/2750709/7AB68A01-424C-4EBA-9AE5-61D404E3EBFA.jpg[/IMG] Cable winch added Drive motor covered and support brackets added. Working on elbow mechanism to scoop the tow. Rollers for th rollers for the cable Firgelli acFirgelli actuators Thats all for now, more to come. |

Re: WRECKER
Thats really wicked looking.
Are you planning to have the tbar just do bumper lifts, or add an actuator and a pair of L arms to make it a self loading wheel-lift? |

Re: WRECKER
A question for electronics savvy: Did a test drive today with all the functions connected, Firgellis are working fine, however, when connecting winch motor with its own speed control and its own battery,to the RX, the truck goes full throttle....

Re: WRECKER
It almost sounds like you have both speed controllers on the same channel. Without knowing what radio and how you have your channels set up its hard to tell.

Re: WRECKER
The radio is Futaba FASST, throttle on ch 3 and winch on ch 4.
