6x6 crawler

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.

6x6 crawler

Post by Max-U52 »

OK, not sure if this is the right spot, but if we're using this for our military RC trucks I'm OK.

I picked up one of these

and just now got to messing with it. Here's what I have so far, and I still haven't even decided on a body style. I keep thinking this would make a great greyhound, but Frank said the wheelbase isn't right.

Maybe a Scammell (sp?)?

You will face a challenge with the last truck because it is not a 6 wheeler but an 8 wheeler with a lift axle behind the cab although because of that the front axle is probably not driven only the 2 rear axles having drive.
So it could turn out to be a worthwhile project,
You would need a steering axle, a dead axle, and 2 drive axles,
I dare you :haha: :haha:

I watched the vids last night and it seems to manoeuvre well.
A scammel looks particularly cool though towing that big gun aswell
Good luck and don't worry I sure this is the right place for the thread :)
