Nice little unit.

[@herbieRCpaints53]

It's a nice bit of kit Teri 😎, It is slow but It's not like you will be using it every 2 minutes if it was too fast it wouldn't look scale 👍

[@TeriWilde]

True, it's nice going to be used every two minutes

[@ourr.c4065]

Hi Teri, I would have expected two limit switch's. still a nice piece of kit.

[@TeriWilde]

It only needs a limit switch when it retracts so it doesn't strip the motor gears, but when extending, it runs out of thread so its not reached a limit, but a second limit switch would be good to stop the motor spinning. I guess it's down to cost.

Its a tad slow but works nice, i bought the same one but havent installed it yet.

[@jeffhaselwood1962]

I saw a home made setup on hobby concepts channel still its nice to know that there is a aftermarket option. I just completed a super b flat bead trailer with stake pockets and stakes and posted on my channel

[@TeriWilde]

I've seen a few 3D printed ideas for an axle lift device, but I'm really not a fan of 3D printed parts.

[@robhighway8366]

I have the same and it works great untill i have the put the fenders on the frame then it wouldnt work anymore untill i drilled a 4mm hole at the mark left by the fender screws on the lift mechanisme

[@TeriWilde]

I'll keep an eye on that, thanks for the heads up. 👍

[@socalsean3425]

Great work Who sells the lift Thanks

[@TeriWilde]

I got it from AsTec Models

[@robhighway8366]

I bought it at Ali Express before my favorite hobbyshop had it for sale

[@normandlambert6385]

Bonjour Teri comment c’est très compliqué pour moi le système de contrôle je fonctionne avec les MFC de Tamiya sur mon SCANIA j’ai installé un MFC 03 est-ce que je pourrais connecter ça sur mon prochain SCANIA je vais essayer de comprendre comment fonctionne un système Beier en suivant tout les prochains vidéo. Merci🇨🇦

[@normandlambert6385]

Vous avez donné le nom de votre fournisseur mais serait-il possible de savoir le nom de la compagnie qui le fabrique et le numéro de la pièce pour que je puisse voir avec des vendeurs si je peux la trouver merci d’avance.

[@TeriWilde]

@@normandlambert6385 J'achète sur → www.astecmodels.uk/dmw-scania-770s-8x44-lift-axle-servo Il n'y a pas de numéro de pièce car il est fabriqué par de nombreuses entreprises en Chine. Merci

[@dustineputtaert5792]

Is the axle lift kit only for the 8x4 scania or will it fit on the 6x4 as well

[@TeriWilde]

It's specific to the Scania 8×4/4, but I'm sure the 6×4 could be modified to 6×2 as long as you use the lift axle parts from the 8×4 kit.

[@dustineputtaert5792]

Thanks for the reply 👍👍👍

[@DaleLadDaz]

I actually bought this lift kit thinking it was for the r620...yes i am that daft, anyway, good excuse to buy the 770 in the future lol p.s. is it rated for 6v max or could you get a bec perhaps and feed more voltage to see if that would increase speed? p.p.s. ahhh yes the beier system, if you can use it on an output it will be driven by battery voltage...be interesting to see if increased voltage would speed it up?

[@TeriWilde]

I've no idea what the voltage limit is, the specs said 6v so if you put 7.2v or 7.4v through it, it might not last long.

[@DaleLadDaz]

@@TeriWilde ahhh right, maybe the receiver can be used, (there is s-bus etc but unsure if spare receiver slots, if using s-bus can be used for other things...rc is all a mystery let alone beier n receivers etc lol)i know the switching outputs are at battery voltage it obviously can work with it as ive seen others use that lift with a beier so theres def a way for it... i haven't installed beier yet, but i am now confident of led's and resistors, and as i plan to use a 2s lipo, i will be resistoring for 7.4v voltage due to the switching outputs being at battery voltage... i know you will get it sorted though, loving this build and thank you for laying it all out in the vid and going through each step... will be invaluable for those at the back of the class like me lol and interesting/entertaining as well for those who already know what they are doing

[@garymurphy5133]

Sorry to sound critical BUT testing after fitting is a bit pointless.

[@TeriWilde]

Testing before progressing is key, it needs to be fitted properly to be tested correctly.
