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.
I don't think I'll be able to do that, but I can get close. Maybe if I do them like Lee did, use the hub from the truck and put it through the firetruck rims. I'll have to give it some thought, but I'll come up with something. Have you thought about printing wheels? The tires from the Highway 61 trucks come off the rims and they're molded pretty much like a real tire. Should I post a photo?
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!!
Hi Gary, hopefully Alwyn will share the .stl files for the wheels he has designed for the Lego tyres, if so I’ll print you a set off & send them over
Cheers

Hi guys, yes as soon as I get some working rims I'll post the scad files and I can e-mail the scads and stls, no probs. I think one problem with trying to get the wheels to line up is that the rear wheel will interfere with the suspension, and although the front wheel can be moved out a small amount, move it too much and the steering won't function correctly. Once you get the scad files though you can tinker with the design a bit. You can download openscad free and it's pretty easy to use.
Here you go Gary, all done, looks like the back of the chassis will have to be extended a bit as there's a spare wheel to go between the back of the cab & the fuel tank.
I'll try & get it boxed up & posted tomorrow
Cheers
Wayne
