More picture and instructions can be found at my website, and rebrickable with the partlist :

You can use any electronic source, as long as it handles the PFS motors and with the same form factor as the buwizz 2.0. Using Control+ motor is possible but required to extend by one stud the rear chassis, and the hub will be placed on the top which can block the winch.

Feel free to comment, ask question 👍

Why do I have a feeling that I'd already seen this wonderfull MOC before, several weeks/monts before?

I promise guys, the model is so much more pretty IRL than these photos. I had the pleasure of seeing it at the Buwizz Gathering, and it's a stunner, accompanied by the Rally car. Well done Nico!

I agree (not to say the photos are bad ofc).

Did you get to use the winch anywhere outside? (both during the gathering and not)
