Building instructions for the 42069 Extreme Adventure remote control upgrade with 4 L motors, 3 M motors, Servo, lights & BuWizz units – $10.99
Inventory can be found at the end of the instructions and also available on Rebrickable.
The winch is protected by a 76244 Clutch gear to prevent motor damage, it is included in the inventory. You can replace the Clutch gear with a 24505 24 tooth gear on your own responsibility, it improves the performance of the winch but it might damage your motor if stressed.
It is possible to control the vehicle with 2 SBricks and 2 AAA battery boxes, but due to the limited space and the extra cables needed they barely fit in the rear. I only included the BuWizz version in the instructions, here are some photos of the SBrick setup if you consider to do it:
