Thanks! 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.

Yup :-) I always find there comes a time, particularly if you are finding a
section of the model hard going, when it becomes tempting to abandon it for
something else.

I actually thought the truck was a bit sluggish, but if you look at the chassis
it should be possible with very little reworking to place another drive motor
on top of the original one for extra power. Saying that, if it were to move
much faster then manouevering it would probably become tricky.
The black battery box lasts a surprisingly long time believe it or not.
