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.

Good afternoon, 'Trucks and All Things Trucks' Gurus,
I am ready to do a detail build on the JJRC Q60 and I need to slow it down to have it easier to control. What would be your recommendation? A Tamiya Torque Tune type motor or?
Thanks in advance!

How slow you want?
My dual 180s are great, although a little noisy

Good afternoon,
It's a drag racer now with the stock motor. I would like to be able to see details when it goes by *chuckles* and maybe have it pull an arty piece or a small trailer.
regards,
Painless

Conclusion on scale of the Willys Jeep. 1/12 width and 1/11 length! Doh!
We shall call it something like a 1/11.5 ish scale jeep haha. All out of scale but made to 'Look' correct.

My MAN 8x8 is the same, it something like 1/17 ish scale.

My Toyota Hilux something like 1/14

This 3D Deuce & a half model was originally for a WPL truck before I scaled it up by 267%

Just need axles for it now Will...
