Lrdg truck ( Long Range Desert Group )

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.

Thank you jarndice :D I got the sand channels from our very own Will of WCP models along with the correct rims for this truck. I owe a debt of gratitude to the many skillful members of this forum who have always been extremely helpful with support for the majority of my builds, thank you all :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.

So much can be done with these basic trucks and vehicles. Your excellent Desert Chevrolet is a Beautiful! example of what is possible. Following along.

Thanks for taking the time to look In painless :D these little trucks have been the base for so many of mine and others builds, it is so much easier to have something to work off even if we chop up and discard most of it during the process :haha: :thumbup:

I absolutely agree with you, one of my earliest builds was a truck pulling a converted Bruder low loader trailer, Using a working 5th wheel from Will I changed a six wheeled rigid truck into an articulated tractor,
Most of my six wheelers are no longer in their original configuration,
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what to do with discarded Truck bodies :haha: :haha:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
