One thing you can do (this applies specifically to DR4B’s and mogo lifts) is screw the lift bar directly to the gear that powers it. What I see some teams do is have the gear ratio power the axle, then use lock bars on the powered bar to transfer power. While this works, the addition of the lock bars as well as the longer axle required for this, creates slop. So if you have the ability to do so in your design, I highly recommend screwing the lift bar directly to the gear that powers it. Now this does not apply to direct drive motors on the drivetrain, I know you can turn the wheels a little and they don’t engage the motors, this is due to slop within the motors that you can’t really change. However, if you have a chained drive, there is naturally some slop that comes with this. You can fix this by doing direct drive, or using gears (but that makes more friction), or just making sure that the chain is perfectly tensioned. This is easily done by adding an “idler” sprocket- one that does nothing except makes the chain have to travel a slightly farther distance, which tightens it. Obviously this is only needed if you need adjustments to the chain that are smaller than a section of chain.
Thank you for the help dude!
