That was more than 10 meters, no warranty on it now !!
Love the sound of a V8, and the noise of tracks.
Well done Petr, she's a credit to you.
Still waiting to see how that fan works out!

I finished steering and brake setting today. Few hours of shity job, but with the help of improvised fixtures successfully completed.
Obeying instructions from manual is essential!
