You should stop by the shop sometime this week. I'd like to see that thing in person. Working on a couple of Yotas myself.

Don't forget guys that JIA was the first to do a Hydro rig! He still has his but he did have it up for sale for $2K a while back! JIA's Hydro is a full Hydro setup though!

Very nice build! Very clean and the detail is sweet! Hit me up if you decide to part with it one day! How many lbs do you thing the steering setup is making? I would assume that the JR's power is multiplied by the hydro system yea?

I'm sure you could get a lot of interest in your hydro steering if you get a vendor star!

wonderful rig. Are the pistons in the cylinders a simple o-ring seal ? Thanks for the inspiration

there are no stops, each side of the cylinder has its own fluid, so they are not connected....

I voted on this when I first saw it (can't believe I'm still the only one ), but wanted to chime in and say what a great job you did. You have some serious talent and skill, and I've spent a long time checking out your pics.

Killer job

Yeah, I'm a new guy....but I know how to build toy truggy's and I know what looks good. And what looks good is what is actually practical, this build, everything about it, looks practical.

The carbon fiber, splashes of blue color, excellent welds, SS tube, rear departure angle, and definitely that skid plate. That hydro setup is very clever too.

I was thinking of using some hydraulics from an RC excavator for steering and possibly 2 more in a push/pull on the front/rear axle (instead of using a winch). Maybe someone will comment on that idea.

Could you please toss us a build list on your electronics used, vehicle weight, and anything that you like or don't like.

I'm stoked for you, lookin forward to hearing how it handles on the trail.
