I just watched the videos and the DAT files: really impressive! The chassis
is just packed with gears. I really like the way you positionned the motors
in the chassis.
I need to lean to slow down when building my models. I get about half-way
done, then I start thinking about the next model and end up with sloppy
finish.
From the videos, I see that all the functions work very well, including the
driving. I am impressed at how fast the truck moves when powered by the
small black battery box.
I really like the key idea to switch between functions. Very nice
alternative to using pneumatics.
Keep up the great work...

Even if I can't model the real thing exactly, I try to put the parts that are semi-equivalent in similar places to achieve some of the more subtle visual and mechanical (such as weight and centre of gravity) effects of the real thing.
