Hi everybody! I hope everyone is well and safe in this hard times

A couple of years ago I bought a few sets with pull-back motors on a huge discount and I've never used them. Then, a few months ago I was thinking about uses for them. So, I decided to try and incorporate them into a telescopic handler I'm building. Sadly it didn't work. Now, I know pull-back motors have a very high torque/speed for a very short period of time. So, I tried gearing it down and ended up with a 1:52 reduction. Nothing happened. Then 1:28 and again nothing. I progressively lowered the gearing up until a point in which the older big LAs were ever so slightly extended by the pull-back motor. I guess pull-back motors cannot be used that way.

My question is this: has anyone had a go at something similar?

Cheers

João
