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.

They look like the figures from the Torro M16.

I've been a little too busy with a WPL Crawler than anything Military related.

THought about designing some of my own upgrades for this truck and filling it full of accessories. Jerry cans are proving a pita in 1/16 though. I have tried using others aswell, but the details are just not right or clean.

Decided to make the shocks look a bit cooler

Roof rack my own design

Headlights found on Thingverse, but made some modifications myself to them

Also made a ladder for the roof rack

Some lamp pods aswell.
Everything just clips on, although i have secured with SG aswell. The lamp pods (on the rack)are attached with mini screws.

Its really starting to look cool.
Got to make some diff guards, maybe a cool looking exhaust. Need a transmission cover underneath aswell.
The back and top will just be filled with camping accesories and other much needed 4x4 parafanalia

Got to try and get some Hilux looking wheels printed now as it needs something a little more cool looking

Hi Will.
Looking good.
If you want 1/16 jerry cans check this guy out
http://www.mastman.co.uk
They are as cheap as chips they are so cheap not really worth the effort to make some. Look under misc heading they also do crates and barrells etc good for stowage etc
Hope its of use
Regards Sub.

So bit more done.
Printed my own design Toyota Hilux 4 spoke alloys and sized it for the original WPL wheel tyre size.
I took my inspriation from special option 4 spoke alloys available back in the 90's What you guys reckon?
Probably 1-2hr CAD work in these wheels and a few trial prints to tune the design and help the print.

Thanks, I am very pleased how it has printed. 3 more to go

I have a few mire designs as wheels are easy to mock up.
