Scorpion isn't Pneumatic!?
Nope, it's electric.
Impressive.
ye, its an electric axe running off a lem 130 i believe, bloody powerful too :)
I believe it's the axe mechanism that used to be in Thor before that was changed over to pneumatics, so it's easy to understand why it's so impressive :)
its a very good system yet i cant decide on what kind or axe mech to go for?
battle axe style, something like shunt or rack and pinion?
the thor mech went into hammer time that has now become corkscrew, whether it has wound up it scorpion i don't know. go for rack and pinion, easiest one to do imo
my ram aint quite up too it, unless i get a rack and pinion made and welded on
Get a length of steel tube or H-beam, weld a chain to it, weld them to pneumatic ram, attach corresponding sprocket to axe and voila, a rack and pinion system. You can tailor the length of the tube/chain to suit your axe based on the stroke of the piston.
nice idea jamie, cheers :)
