Not for the weak-hearted *anything*.

You realize,  of course,  that this could destroy the newsgroup:  if you
succeed,  no one else will be able to brag about anything for months ;-)

Suggestion:  all the crane trucks I've seen have separate seats for the truck
and the crane (probably so the driver doesn't accidentally raise the crane
when trying to turn on the windshield wipers...).  Why not do a 3-channel RC
for the truck,  and a 5-channel for the crane?  It will cost more,  of course.
But it will probably be *much* easier to make it work.  And it will be more
realistic.

Another possibility:  use 8 servos,  and one or more relays to switch some of
the channels between "driving" servos and "crane" servos.

Hi! [WARNING: Not for the weak hearted LEGO purist ;) ] I'm planning to build a remote controlled LEGO lumber truck. What I'm planning to do is to controll all the functions via a remote controll (eg. Sanwa 5 channel RC equipment). By all the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
