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.

Leave it to the wife to come up with a truck that has a place to put the rugrats!! 8) :haha: :haha:

That's some great work, Will. If you'll share I'll have to try that jerry can rack, and that's one I'd also scale up to 1/6 scale.

If you want some ideas for racks and what not, redcat offers free stl files in 1/10, easily scalable with cura.

I like the simple roof rack and may scale it down for the C24 truck.

Just got to get the interior sorted now for it!
More Air Filter & Exhaust options coming to help make some different variations.

So the only one of these trucks i haven't bought so far is the Mutt M151. Does anyone have one, what do you think of it? Seems quite expensive compared to the others, i can't really see any reason for it being more expensive?
I am trying to spend my spare time to create options for all of these trucks haha

C14 Toyota Hilux Truggy
C24 Toyota Hilux
B1 M35 A2 4x4
B16 M35 6x6
B24 GAZ 66
B36 Soviet Ural 4320 Communication truck
JJRC Q60 Jiefang CA30 (Copy ZIL157)
JJRC Q61 Jiefang CA10 (Copy ZIS150)
JJRC Q64 MAN KAT1
JJRC Q65 Willys Jeep
Subotech Jeep Ford Mutt M151

All the electrics out of these trucks i don't bin!
I am making my own transmitter with these parts so i have something to control a turret system for a Battle ground. So these electronics will power Gates, Lights, Moving items such as turrets etc.

Got the WWII style tail lights sorted out. I'll use them in the WC series trucks and the CCKW. Now I think I should have bought more than 20 LEDs. :/ :'(

Nice work Gary

I’ve been printing the ZIL for a few days off & on, grill & cab printing now, shame the cab is in one piece, I’m not a fan of using so much support material.
The wheels & accessories including spare wheel mechanism are also on Thingiverse, it will make a very nice finished article
