Very cool prototype vehicle and a really nice start! Was the prototype built on a T34 chassis or the T54?

BAT-M was used for: the construction of roads, land leveling and bulk materials parting, preparation stations, performing to pass through the contaminated sites, ditches and ravines, heap removing, shrubs, as well as clearing snow. The vehicle was equipped with a crane with a lifting capacity of 2000 kg.

That is an improvement, hood angle looks a lot better and the panel lines really help. Looking good!

there is still a large amount of details to add but all the electrics are done. I have a new six channel tx coming as I would like to have all controls as a 3 position toggle leaving only the right stick for forward reverse and steering.
Controlling six motors was a big challenge but I fought through and got it all working. now I have to try to get some lights and decide on the inside full interior or black out the windows and no interior the work continues
