|  RC hydraulic ram
Is there such a thing as an rc hydraulic ram. I am wanting to build a scale dump truck and I want a ram to lift the dump. I can find a linear actualtor that is as little as 7", but its like $90. I was wanting somthing a little cheaper, thanks.

JIA built a hydrolic setup using some old TLT shocks... I think the thread is "hydraulics made easy" or something similar

The dumptruck kit is only $300 ish. It uses a bi-directional pump and a resevior. It doesn't have any valves.
