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.

So started on some other projects!!! Yes you guessed correctly haha

MAN Kat1 8x8.
Right these models are not true to scale as we know, but it is close to 1/17. So i will call it that!
I have put one into CAD however and i will print a proper 1/16 version in time. Took ages to CAD haha

Kept it super simple with leaf spring suspensions, but it will feature one of my dual 180 motor setup sand we will run this on 3s lipo. I will use 2 servos for steering but different length arms to get different steering lock.

Image


I have also started work on my Zil131 Logging truck. I turning that into a converted 8x8 truck and it will tow a trailer also. This thing is either going to have 4 180 motors one per axle, or i may use it as a test bed for my dual 370 motor setup.
I haven't got the courage to put my dual 540 setup in anything this size, but i think it would rip everything apart anyway.

Now back to WW2 stuff, i finished my wheels designs for the wehrmacht tyres to run on our roughly looking Ford V3000 with fulda style wheels
