HL Truck Mods

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.

Received the second Dasmikro. Turns out the one for the f150 truck is the one you need. I'm having the same problem that Gary had, where the audio is reversed. I'll also need to modify the battery tray some more to fit it all under the hood.

Hey, I got an idea...

Some truck testing Videos
1st video WPL C24 Toyota Hilux with my own design twin motor mount running 2s lipo.
600rpm motors 20mm gearcasing. MUCH stronger than those crap N20 motors. This has taken alot of abuse and still going strong. Perfect for small scale crawling. Very happy with this setup. Motor shafts 4mm so had to bore out the driveshafts to suit.
Only pain is the front steering lock keeps dropping the drive and jamming the axle. So i have to try and sort the steering limit.
Otherwise very happy with this setup

Other videos are me testing out my GAZ 34 6x6. All metal running gear 180 long can motor. Maybe go twin setup or 380 with metal transfer caser. But this is mine for keeps. I love this truck.
