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.

What kind of glue are you using to stick the wood to the plastic?

Not the right stuff to be fair. This one is just ordinary UHU. However it has worked very well, but is taking a long time to cure.
I will be doing to another and using epoxy resin. I want to use a truck bed to make a trailer out of it

I find UHU very good for sticking different materials together, but I leave it for 24 hours for a good bond.

I suppose it depends on what truck you want to build. They call this a "Military Style" truck and it seems to be loosely based on the M35. Just a quick google search for M35 sound files got me this

and I'm sure if you check around you'll find more.

Today I finished few more mods. Micro servo sorted. 20a escs and 2s Lipo installed. Runs nicely.
Now waiting less for sides rear and front. Need get some 2ohm resistors to wire it up.

So the HL truck I have managed to leave a 70mm wide 50mm length and 35-40mm depth. The whole engine bay is clear for a smoker.

So I have the whole engine bay free for a smoker, but I am very worried about weight up front. So I may actually put smoker in the truck bed along with the sound unit to help balance. Then run 2x 2s Lipo batteries up front to power all the power and lights etc
