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.

Needs alot of details and filling to smooth it off nicely, but i am really pleased soo far.
Now need to find a good fast motor for it. Anyone got any good ideas?
Going to use 2S lipo and need a motor that will fit in the transfer case. Don't really want alot of torque, just revs. Coupled into a 20A esc and make some lights for it.

Unfortunately I have to report that my axles have been delivered, not to my house but to someone in Scotland......
I’ve got a printout of the tracking...

Not any more nonsense than modeling the 007 with all kinds of battle damage that she never really had.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

That's crazy though. Good luck with sorting that out.

You should get on to royal mail and ask them to explain.
It’s not the Royal Mail’s fault, either the wrong address was on the box or I’ve been given the wrong tracking number...
