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.

Thought i posted this video up.already but cannae find it.

Snow trials of my 6x6
https://youtu.be/VGdihEyFa18

Unfortunately keep stripping spline in the central bevel drive so it runs fwd. Doh!

Need to find a beefed up solution to drive the 6x6. Might try adding a pin through shaft and gear like a keyway.

Hey Will, you still haven't posted a video, you posted a link (Come on, now, you know there was no way I could resist @) ;) )

phpBB [video]


And I love the truck. That looks just great. Have you thought about a two motor set-up? Would that maybe help with the stripping issue?

Next time you take video, some close-ups would be cool. 8)

The multi motor setup would probably get rid of the issue. But i really wanted to drive the wheels like they would be on the real.truck. But these transmissions are just too weak. :(

I think I would really need 3 motors one for each axle.
But I want it to be able to crawl. So thinking I may need bigger axles or go metal

Will "Banggood" @

sell N20 Geared motors for just a couple of £s so that a twin motor set up with the motors maxed at 160 rpm or slower depending on what specification you choose would be able to crawl and NOT destroy your final drive.

Thanks. I got some already. :)

I going to try and get some metal diff gears made and see how that goes. Depends how.easy to get something to work.
If not I buy some more diff drives and connect up.some n20s. Have some alloy bulkheads for mounting the motors.

Well, I've heard you have to be crazy to be an RC Tanker, as a normal person would go insane. @) :haha: 8)

Unfortunately the Metal prop shafts which come as a pair which were on pre-order have since sold out for now. £5.95 For a set of two :thumbdown:
