And here it becomes RC, an old Siku Control gearbox:

A smal servo:

Speedcontroler from WPL Truck:

Accu and reciever are on top:

And with some "Tempo sheet" whitglue and color hide it a bitt:

It drives well, but the steering is not that good...cause its a bitt stiff, and the gear has no diff´s...so well its more for show than drive a lot.

Here is a smal video how it drives and has some brother to pic it up :

We had a running Mule at the museum. They don't really have any real suspension to speak of so it was a pretty rough ride when you got it off road.
