Chassis Paint colour

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.

As others have said eBay UK or b&q. Although I buy in bulk from a steel merchant and get alot for a good price. Also in 3 to 5m lengths.
Yes you have to notch and work it a little if using stock wpl parts. I did that for the first few.models.

However now I 3DP all the braces and fixings with much better results. If you print right size you can slide it down the grips in the u channel which hold it nice and tight.

I only use the wpl chassis sections for trailers now haha or short wheel base specials
