That is a very nicely put together rig. It is not over complicated and nicely executed. I really like the power switch/shifter.

thank you guys, I 'm very pleased that you like it!

these tires are 1.5 but will not be the final ones , I thought of putting the pittbull 1.9 Rock Beast or Mad Beast...

I really don't think you can beat those 1.55 Growlers in terms of scale looks atm, they look fantastic. I guess for performance it would do better with the 1.9 Rock Beasts though.

here are some photos in sunlight.
for now I am satisfied with the result...

The model weighs only 3 kg in running order.
I got to try it and it is very well balanced . suspensions work very well , perhaps I just have to change the oil of the rear
