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.

Not sure if I'm late to the party....

Building a Gaz truck with my son in kit form

The motor supplied in the kit is much larger then the pre built one I've purchased.

Just wanted to share this if anyone hasn't seen it before....Image

For each build i have put into a seperate thread to give further details. But i have to say i for one love these little trucks. They just open up a word of possibilities for not very much cash. Some of you guys builds are awesome and its great to see as it inpires my next one.

Right, i gotta get on with a 6x6 now as it eating away at me now! haha

Some pics to follow but I made alloy chassis for a trailer and now just making a steel axle. Leaf springs and it should be good to go.

Have anyone tested the long motor vs the short one?
I could use some more power without adding top speed, for my little truck.

I found a video on YouTube where a guy had 3D printed a mount that holds 2 small geared motors.
I ordered a couple of these motors & printed myself a holder.
Have a look...

I’ll give it a try when I get chance, they’re only tiny motors though..
Cheers
