M35 Military Rat Rod!

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.

When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

Sometimes in life you just need BOOST haha

In fact that is exactly why my wife's Mini Cooper S has ended up running twice the boost over standard hahahahaha.

The Turbo was a Thingverse find and printed at 150% i think :)

Last night the M2 rod ends arrived for the rear suspension setup, hopefully later this week the M3 rod ends arrive for the 4 link setup and then this truck is ready for a real test.
I made the engine mount location as part of the rear subframe structure. Uses a metal WPL drive shaft.
More details and pictures to follow as you know and hopefully some video.
I will also then try to get a modified HL smoker to pump smoke up the stacks!!!!!(any hints by the way, please let me know)
