Heng long truck

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.

GREAT link! Immediately ordered one, thanks!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Good evening,
Max! Thanks for the link! Order placed. This looks like a great way to either bring my Indiana Jones truck to life or build up a Command car or Deuce ana 1/2
regards,
Painless

Got an email from banggood saying they're canceling my order and issuing a refund. They actually saved me money, but I still made sure to tell them we now know their ads for free shipping are lies.

I'm sure this will make a nice platform for a command car (I want to do an ambulance) but for the trucks I'm waiting for the 6x6. I hear that's supposed to be out before Christmas.

Got the refund from Banggood. A guy on another forum said we should have expected them to bang us good.

Just had a visit from my man in the trade. The good news is that they have standard 180 motors, and that HL will be bringing out a conversion kit so that the steering runs off a servo. A £4.50 esc, £20 sound system, and you will have a truck that can be run off a standard tx.

The 6x6 is due Christmas or shortly after.

My eBay one showed up today. If anyone needs more info let me know. I have two more Heng Long version coming from Andrew. Trying to figure out what the difference (if any) are. Pose with Tamiya Pz IV, Tamiya Rommel, Asiatam Kubelwagon and a Verlinden copy figure.
