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.

Video test of my motor unit setup
phpBB [video]

Who wants a dual 370 motor setup, this is the best powerplant by far. It will take 3s lipo if you are made enough. We also have a variant which will allow 6s. But i am not even that mad! lol

Consider it done :)
i am printing a new prototype mount for dual 370s, so i will send you one over. I may have also found a good supply for the motors, i bought 12 of them last night as i have had a load of people from all over the world wanting to buy them after seeing the video from Tomley. Have some to ship to Oz, US and around EU :)
Sorry i am not trying to plug it(well not much haha), but just to show my level of madness is getting better haha

I have a couple larger more powerful dual motor setups in the waiting, but secret testing is being carried out

Think? I'm absolutely certain that Will is Bonkers, but that's exactly why I like him so much. @)

You have to be crazy to be an RC tanker ... a normal person would go insane. :haha: :haha:

HERE'S A LITTLE TEASER PREVIEW. THE REST OF THE RIMS ARE STILL PRINTING BUT HERE'S HOW THE FRONT WILL LOOK. iN THE SECOND PHOTO THERE'S A TIRE FROM THE CCKW NEXT TO THE NEW FRONT TIRE SO YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW MUCH SMALLER THE CCKW TIRES ARE.

Hey come on, i am totally bonkers :) lol

Another build started tonight!
This is my own dual 370 motor test rig. Mack M123 in the making using spare WPL B1 cab cut down a bit. Bit of a winch mech going to be made up which will be functional and a big dirty great 5th wheel to my own design. I want this to be a test rig for an Oshkosh M1070 8x8 i been asked to design & build.

WPL Cab before cut

After cut

On a 6x6 chassis with Metal rims, daka tyres and a dual 370 motor unit connected up with full metal driveline.

3-4s esc going in this thing. I like the idea running 2x 2s lipo in series for POWER
