HL Truck Mods

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.

That looks awesome, Frank. Thanks for posting here, you're just the kind of guy I was hoping would get in on the fun. I can't wait to see what you and Fyn come up with next!

Trying to get this cab, a Bedford MK, done for someone. Can anyone tell me what the outside diameter of the tyres is?

I don't have an HL truck to work from :eh: .

I think they're 66mm, but I'll have to get home to check for sure.

Man, I gotta get me one of those. :)

If that's the start of the SS100 I don't care about the color, we can paint over that! :)

I think I found fenders for the rear. I made a video, and it will be uploaded soon.
