WPL truck to Diamond T/M19 conversion

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.

Coming along very nicely, interesting solution to getting a drive train to both rear axles. I was always thinking that this would be the only way to do a Stalwart as the axles are so close together. :thumbup:

Next job is the winch. It's frustrating because I'm still waiting for bits from China so I can get the chassis operational, but I can at least get some of the finishing off jobs done on the body.
