NEVER THOUGHT I'D ASK, BUT

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.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D ASK, BUT

Post by HERMAN BIX »

Where can I get one of these truck thingo's for a German conversion project ?
I really only need the chassis, front steering set up & wheels, electronics, and single drive diff, the rest I need to build.
Got one of these Maultier Panzerwefer 4's in mind.......... :shifty:

Hi Herman I hope all is well with you and yours,
If you go to Ali-Baba or Banggood you can buy the 6 Wheeler chassis independent of the rest of the vehicle and a Metal steering and drive front axle,
Shop around for the electrics and the other odds and ends and save a fortune on bits you don't need,
I bought a 4 Wheel chassis from Banggood for pennies for a project instead of buying a truck kit.
I also have a number of Metal front and rear drive axles from the same source and they are getting ever cheaper :thumbup:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Hi again, I just typed in RC CAR PARTS into the Banggood site and on Sub page 4 of 49 pages I found a
"JJRC Front Bridge Axle with Suspension and wheels for a Q61 Six wheeler"
at £4.61 including FREEPOST
and on Sub Page 15 I found
"JJRC Car Chassis Frame Rails for a Q61 six wheeler"
£4.58 including FREEPOST
Metal Drive and Steering axles are available from £20+ again with FREEPOST.
I hope this helps.

Why say you never thought you ask haha. These trucks are great. They offer soo much for soo little. But also gives a great basis for a project build.

I say that because i currently have 12 in my dining room lol.
Plus more that have already been built into cool vehicles

Hi Herman, for the maultier you only need the 4x4 , but the 6x6 will give you a longer chassis which is probably what you need. You will wind up with a spare axle for your next project. :thumbup:

Great advice lads, that’s got the pointers.
Good call on the 6x6 for length.
Anyone got one handy they can sell me ?
