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.

Hi Gary,
Here is one of Wibbs designsImage
Visaton FR Speaker Box found on Thingiverse
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2254131
Check it out, it prints beautifully!!!
It could be the answer to your speaker box search, if you want to use a smaller speaker just reduce the scale of the box in Cura/Slic3r to suit.
Cheers
Wayne

There's nothing stopping you dropping the .STL file into Cura/Slic3r & getting some practice in

Yeah, Wayne, that's on the to-do list, but this stuff is keepin' me busy for the moment. Once I sort out this camera and get the mud flaps on I'll call this one done for the moment (still waiting for the shackles but they won't be here now till Monday at the earliest), then I absolutely have to clean the joint up, then I can focus on the printer. I think it's on a boat right now, so we'll see how long it takes to arrive. As long as I'm practicing I might as well try rims for the tankmodelbau tires. I have 20 of them, so the sky's the limit. I'm going to do one like Carl's, with dual rear wheels, but I'm going to put a box on the back and a big red cross on the side.

As soon as the Goo cures a bit I'll get video of the truck in a "finished" state (still waiting for shackles and there's also the fun of adding stowage and weathering. I need more U.S. jerry cans).

Found my next truck project

But so far this is the only image I can find of this variant so if anyone has more please post them? Danke.

Mine will be close but not exact. I'm just trying to make a cool ambulance, and not count the rivets. I may change the design on this one and make the cab completely separate from the box.

Then we might look at one of these

What do y'all think?
