The WW driver is awesome. That screw through the crotch is what must have forced him to leave the military.

Sorry Stephane

My mistake. I was hoping that you are living in the swissgerman part of switzerland. Believe me, it is better that I write in english than in french ;)

I said that your tuber looks good and that I just starting with crawling and if you live in the area where I live, we may sit together have beer and talk a little bit.
Unfortunally I am the only crawler in my area. Everyone else seems to want to go fast. This was my way too with Largescale and Airplanes for the last 25 years. But now I thought I try it the otherway and bought myself an AX10 (not easy to get in Switzerland and expensive). I really love it. Helps me to calm down after a busy day and its lots of fun to drive with my kids.

Unfortunally is Geneve quite far away form Lucerne.

Greetings and sorry for the swissgerman ;)

The paint on that WW driver is crazy realistic. Wow.

What tuber, I just see a really nice tubing bender and a bad a$$ jewelers torch. Nice setup bud! Got some flawless welds there.
Oh and that frame looks pretty dang nice. I like your take on the lower section.

Also, the only thing I would change would be to make your Skid plate out of Delrin, slides alot better than aluminum

I will add, after a "real skiplate" to protect everything. The piece aluminium serves to support for "all".

Sorry for my bad English
