Heng long truck

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.

Evening all,

Found this picture online, looks like someone is already underway with a conversion.

So far I've seen two different cabs on the 4x4 and there's also the 6x6, I think I'm gonna need several of each to cover everything. I'm also wondering if I can use the frame for a hannomag ss-100

And I already have tires and rims that will work great for the SS-100

Gotta have something to pull this to the launch site

The V2 is to scale (almost) and really flies. How cool would that be?

Hi maxmekker, could you please measure the wheelbase and track width, I would love to redo my matador build with a decent chassis!

The diameter measurement of the wheels would be great too :thumbup:

I don't think maxmekker has a truck yet, fellas. He said he got the pics from Carson's site, and I bet Carson doesn't have one yet either. Those are probably pics Heng Long gave out.

I must not have made the first batch, as I got an email saying it won't be back in stock until sept 30. But I paid 42 instead of 35 so I figgered I was in the second batch at best. We'll see how the ebay truck does, and that one says it shipped on the 6th from "China/Hong Kong/Taiwan".

When I first saw it listed at BG it was $33 USD (about 25 quid) with free shipping but by the time I ordered it had gone up to $43 USD. When I first saw it they were saying it would restock on Sept 14 and that's what it said when I ordered (Sept 12), but then I got an email saying the restock date had been pushed back from the 14th to the 30th and they asked if I wanted a refund. I said no, send it when you get it.

The one I ordered from ebay I bought on Sept 6 for about $56 USD with free shipping and got an email the next day saying it's been shipped, with an expected delivery date of Sept 22 to Oct 31. Quite a wide window there, eh? I figger all I can do is wait and see what happens. I used paypal for both purchases so the worst that can happen is it will take a month or two to get my loot back if anything goes kerblewie.
