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.
Richard I have been buying these 1/18 fully articulated figures that Alwyn has highlighted,
Just Make sure they are the 9.5Cms figures,
When I say fully articulated I am quite serious,
I would expect to pay in excess of £30 per figure elsewhere for such detail.
They are easily absorbed into their 1/16 surroundings including the Heng Long/Wpl Truck,
The accessory's that come with them are of good quality,
I found the price unbelievable when I laid my hands on the first one and immediately reordered more,
The figure with the Motor bike is very handy as the bike is easily adapted into a German Army Machine and looks well in a diorama.
Shaun.
That looks miles better, actually appears to have some get up & go about it.
My torque tuned motor arrived today, think I’ll have a play tomorrow.

Wayne that's why I setup the silly ramp of sorts tonight with my son. You can see it can climb the 1" pad and then jumps over it with power to spare. I figured out the torque steer issue. Adjusted the servo linkage and it runs strong and straight.
The narrow tyres are a bit challenging for handling.....I'd say much like modern low profile style versus old narrow tall ones from the past.
Heyos all!
Mostly recovered from the 'Feast' after a gym visit today. Sticking to the topic, I ordered one of the Gaz B-24 models from GearBest, hopefully will be here soon. After a detail build and a new motor, my Korean era M26 can chase it around. *chuckles* Following along still for all the nifty ideas in this thread.

Hello there Mr Wolf Glad you've survived the aftermath of the Turkey Day dinner. I must admit there were times after the feast I felt so full I contemplated dropping and rolling to get to the next room in the house!
The truck you have chosen is a really nice one. It is on my list of things for Christmas this year.
I also ordered a GAZ and I saw you can now get the bed for the stock truck as a separate item so i hope they also do that with the GAZ.
The truck looks good, Carl, and I may have to try one of those motors. Too bad you can't turn off that brake sound, eh? I got one of those sound units and i might use it in a future project, but for these trucks I'm sticking with the mikro. Did that supplex show up yet? I was hoping you'd see it Friday or Saturday.
You guys may have seen in another thread that I ordered a 3D printer. Gotta love Black Friday. 46% off.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!
