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.

I’ve been busy with the Deuce this week, the cab has been primed red then grey, so I can see when I should stop sanding lol.

Image
3 cans of olive drab have been ordered.

I’ve been scaling up Tiger6’s Deuce 3D model (cheers Martin), the load bed base is one piece at 1/16, but at 1/6 it’s circa 600mm x 400mm x 25mm thick, it would take forever to print & would use a bloody scary amount of filament.
I printed the frame for under the load bed & CA’d it to a sheet of 3mm plasticard.
Image
I printed some 3mm high spacers to go between the base & the sides, when all stuck together it’s a very rigid structure, this also leaves a nice area between the sides for a sheet of 6mm hardwood plywood, I’ll cut that tomorrow hopefully.
I’ve also managed to make the tailgate workImage
Image

Well, that’s it for this week, I’m printing wheels at the moment.
This is where I’m up to...
