MAZ 537

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.

MAZ 537

Post by wibblywobbly »

Just started this one, decided it was easier to scale the bodyshell to the WPL chassis and axles than go for 1/16. I have a 370 2 speed gearbox on the way, and will need another steering axle.

Mean looking machine. Following with interest. The possibilities are endless with these trucks and a 3d printer. Can't wait to join in the fun

A bit more progress, it's coming along nicely but still plenty to do.

A bit more done, the cab and the sections behind it are complete, along with a frame that goes on the back of them, I have also printed a working fifth wheel that I pinched off Thingiverse.

Thats the great thing about these trucks, the parts are a lot smaller than the tanks, so quicker to design, and faster to print. :thumbup:

Just realised that I could put the 6x6 WPL rear back on as it still fits, that way I don't have an out of scale tank transporter but get the heavy hauler version of the MAZ.
