Heng long based scratchbuilit 6x6 truck.

Heng Long/WPL are now manufacturing 1/16 scale RC trucks, so it seemed sensible to create a forum area dedicated to the amazing things that members are doing with them. Post your builds, mods, and tips here.

I was going to be getting a cab & bed off Wayne but life got in the way. My Daughter was deliberately run over in February and the expenses of running backwards & forwards to the Hospital have got in the way.

Nice to see the progress
They both look brilliant, I’ll drop back onto mine when I’ve got the Chieftain printed.
Iirc I think I’ve channeled my deuce slightly more over the chassis to reduce the gap between the wheel & arch, I’ll have to check lol
Cheers for the plug

Here’s a little something I’ve been working on for the blitz to pull around....
Early days yetImage

Front steers nice but suspension is pretty basic but should do the job.

That trailer is coming along a treat Wayne :thumbup: I'll tow the pak 40 with mine when I finally get around to making it :S I did toy with the idea of lowerin the cab a bit more on the deuce but I would have been losing to much of the front grille which is a big feature of the truck , I've looked at lot's of pictures and some trucks seem to have the fenders lower down to the wheels and yet other's are jacked right up :eh: not sure the difference though, I've still got to move the front axle foward as well about 1/2 inch to line the wheels up more centrally,

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee,
I cut the floor just behind the grill so the chassis rails could butt up against the back of the grill, hope that makes sense?
Cheers
Wayne

Thanks Wayne, I've just been looking at mine and was thinking along the same lines, I may drop it down by another 1/2 inch :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.
