Ross Clarkson Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Ok, stupid question time. How do electric retracts work, do they have a tiny motor installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon barr Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 If you mean the likes of the Eflite units, yes, there is a small motor geared to push/pull the actuating arm on the retract. It sits in the place where you would find the air cylinder on an air operated set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Clarkson Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Excellent, thanks. So, its literally an ON OFF process using cogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hickson Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Yep. Worm gear rather than cogs thoughEdited By John Hickson on 12/05/2013 14:27:10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
