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.

Another truck built and test, now needs to come apart and get cleaned, finished off and rebuilt.

Running my dual 370s on 3s lipo. Really too much speed, but it has good low down controllable power. It works very well, but a little weight lower down will help the balance, so maybe tyre weights work out well

Here is my Dual 180 setup on a JJRC Q65 Jeep with same 3s battery in long grass test

Also my dual 180 setup in my sons Crawler i gave to him for his 5th birthday. Running a 1000mah 2s lipo with jst plug.

Gives the idea how versatile these motors are.
So Soon a couple of 4s lipo videos on the dual 370 setup and maybe also a winch test aswell.
There is another new dual motor setup in development with the reduction gearbox and transfer case and intermediate shaft so that both motors drive together. But you have to wait. That may go in our Logging truck or the 8x8x8 trials truck

Most small brushed motors will run on anything from 3 to 12 volts, with rpm ratings increasing with voltage increase.

I've got some spare 12v dc motors I plan on using for a logging truck. Just wondered if people were using anything similar.

These are 12v however I have 6v aswell.
The dual 180 are 9v and run perfect on 2 and 3s lipo

Very cool,

You're running the two motors through a 3s lipo right?

Simply loving all these custom builds. Really getting me interested in buying a printer.
