Arduino Controlled WPL B36 Ural With Metal Upgrades In Rough Terrain

This WPL B36 URAL-4320 (Урал-4320 in Russian) military truck is a cheap 1/16 scale kit. During the last couple of days I have assembled it and it was a lot of fun.
All in all it is very detailed, even the drive train and the suspension with 3 solid axles and leaf spring suspension is very similar with the original.
The off road capabilities are insane, even in stock condition. Of course it is controlled by my „Micro RC“ Arduino 2.4 GHz DIY remote.
