R/C scale snow plow lift servo

Due to some requests I figured I'd ad a video to help illustrate what's going on with the plow lift servo.
The mounting bracket is a piece of 1/8th inch aluminum bent to fit and the servo is just a standard servo that I SHOULD replace with a high torque unit.

Detailed look at how the truck and plow are built:

how dod u make turn side to side

[froshmasta]

@karzygijose

Easy: It doesn't turn side by side unless I unbolt it and bolt it in a different position. I have it locked at that angle because I like how it performs there. For more detail about how the truck/plow are built check out the two links in the video description.

@froshmasta and umm i have a stock excced infiftive elcetic but i have dual motors and dual batterys like i have 2 esc 1for each motor and the battry is on top of the driveline and i want to mmake it only 2wd and will it push snow or no thanks

@karzygijose

It may be possible to push snow with a 2wd but you would have WAAAAAAAY more success with 4wd. I'm running a 15lbs truck with locked rear diff and 4wd and I run out of grip fairly easily when pushing heavier snow. I think 2wd would yield very disappointing performance.

@froshmasta hey again what kind of metal pole you use and the servo arm thnanks

[froshmasta]

@karzygijose

I think that linkage was just a tie rod or suspension link out of some t-maxx parts and the servo horn is just whatever one I had laying around. Check the videos in the description for a more in-depth look at the details.
