New WPL truck...err tracked vehicle...

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.

Looks like WPL has another solid platform on their hands. Can't wait to see some of the builds people come up with.

I'm not huge on soviet cold-war vehicles so I think I'll pass on this one, unless I decide to cannibalize one as a base for a Tetrarch build or something, but I do hope it shows WPL and others that there's room to expand in this segment.

That potential trailer has me interested too.
Current vehicles:
- Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. B (1/16 Torro Pro)
- Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E (1/16 HL 7.0)
- Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E (1/16 HL Vintage parts donor)
- WPL B14

Past vehicles:
- NM217 Bergepanser (1/1 KMW)

One thing about it is the distinctive tracks, so if there are spares for this as is usually the case with WPL stuff then we could have a useful supply of different tracks. Also those gearboxes look interesting.....

It will look quite nice being towed by my New Holland...

Also - did you guys see the low loader that the GAZ was parked on in one of those pictures?
You mean the BM21?
there is a free file on cults, so if you have a 3D printer or know somebody who has: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various ... l-truck-rc
