Heng long based scratchbuilit 6x6 truck.

Lee has made an awesome job of this
The cab I found on Thingiverse at a scale of 1/100, I fannyed around with it a bit to get to the size that Lee wanted, he ended up just using the front as the original was a hard top.
Thanks for the mention Lee
Cheers
Wayne

Thank you painless, praise indeed sir :thumbup: I've put many hours of blood, sweat and beers into this build :D I'm really pleased with how it's turned out, a bit more paint detailing and she'll be ready to hit the road :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

Hi,

I've just used a cheap Chinese 20A esc and added a sound module, it's running the standard motor set up for drive and a mini metal geared servo for the steering with a 2s Lipo battery, hope this helps :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

Hi,
Great conversion, brilliantly executed, shows what can be achieved with the standard WPL chassis.
With skill and imagination.
Cheers Sub. :clap:
