i can't think of any way unless it's s along stroke ram, or electric motor and gear track, but found this on google...

don't know if it would work at rc scale, but might be fun to try

yeah looks like the Idea but I seen someone build it on a log crane with like 1/2 inch square tube put the ram in there also was wondering how he did it wonder how I could do it with screw drive and make it fast but strong
