    I think I might settle for this. Do you know a good tutorial I can follow on how to make a motorized hinge with a worm gear. (Cuz I got no idea :P)

    @Saberwing40k I hear you. And you make an excellent point. Car gas springs are normally, if not always, mounted near the pivot point of the hood. But for aesthetic purposes (and mounting space), I want to keep it close to the modeled picture.

    Well, my intended application is to simulate two gas springs lifting a car bonnet. Much like in this picture: Link: http://images60.fotk...at500RR1-vi.jpg Probably should have mentioned that earlier. I just want to have enough clearance or "stroke" to open and close the bonnet, which is obviously motorized. (Using the Lego Power Functions Motor Set (8293)).

    I haven't determined the exact length, but I would imagine in would be in the neighborhood of 100mm (maybe even more). Thanks for the link! It's about close to what I'm looking for.

    Thanks for the replies! Do you know the part# of the large LA's by any chance? What would you recommend as the simplest way, while leaving a small footprint? (i.e. using minimal parts/space)

    Hello everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post. Forgive me if I seem a bit primitive in my knowledge of LEGO's. I was planning to use some linear actuators but I got two questions about them. 1) How long do they come? Is there anyway I could mod it to allow a larger stroke? (e.g. 2"/3"/4") 2)At a given point in their travel (i.e at very top of stroke) can they "lock" in place or hold a relatively large amount of weight (e.g. 1lb) WITHOUT the motor running? Thanks, -lol1419
