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.

Just one, Wayne? I think several would be in order. I still think that this might be the frame that we can use to do a Jeep.

Gary,
Good morning. How are you liking the Gaz? I confess I've run it stock around the lot a couple of times and had no issues except the little battery running out. The servo roars too as the steering has little play so some adjustment of the lock to lock to free it up per your advice on the American version of this chassis. It trundles and is a ton of fun. Detail bits are on the way and I will upgrade the electronics to have working rear lights and turn signals. One of those premade car led kits that plug directly into a receiver should do the trick for a few bucks.
regards and following along

Will, have you got a link to the system you're using?

Painless, to be honest i haven't tried the Gaz yet. Work has been crazy so not much hobby time this week.
