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.

The Greyhounds wheelbase is quite short between the front a centre axle...I couldn't get drive from the HL gearbox to the center axle so it's unpowered :thumbup:

Well I must say I'd rather rewire a circuit board or drill out 300 plastic Panzer 38t tracks with my 1mm bit but my glue coated hands have managed to make a canvas top with a days worth of cursing and ....

Well you get the pointImage

So here she is. The Hobby King 3ch radio is mated to the esc and sound card.

Here's two quick videos with the Banggood sound card.

Thanks for checking it out. Very cheap sound system and radio setup. Esc was inexpensive tooImage

And how do you like that Flysky? 3 Channel? Easy to program? I think I saw one for about $30, is that about right?

Got so into looking at Carl's fine truck I almost forgot, I got the 6x6 crawler today. What a little beast. I need to see how it acts with a proper esc cuz right now she's just dead stop and go like a bat outta hell.
