You've used them nicely there! I agree with the on button issue - so far I've
managed to leave them exposed...
I thought of using the spare motor point for drop legs, but due to the fact that
the manas motors are a little timing innacurate (they don't stop as soon as you
take your finger off the bottom, getting the truck to stop under the trailer
mount point would have been torture for the operator... so I just didn't bother.
It was really only an experiment anyway...
Next project is actually going to be a bit similar to yours I think... now I
have a great reference too!
