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.

i understand about asking,i dont even mind selling a few to forum members without a printer,but not selling on ebay or other type sell buisness.....because if 1 sells,people get greedy and try to capitolize on near free money at others expenses.
unless permission is granted.

ive been busy in tinker cad

its own chassis and cross members,tranny mounts ....not bad for first attempt.will do tweaks on v2 before calling it good.
under the hood i got plenty room for stock battery of a 20 degree angle and esc will just fit behind the grill,reciever ontop the trans in the tunnel.once i build seat,i may cram a compact 2 s under the seats that can be hidden.
servo installs from the bottom for easy replacement.
id say shes comming out pretty good.
once i get her all worked out ill print everything in petg and scale the body to this size and make a file for thingiverse.
download,print,assemble use your gear and wpl axel n driveshafts.

and for a stock look axels can be placed ontop leafs to lower bout 1/2 with scale tires it would look nice.

oh....another fun fact....lmao
i designed the new frame 8.5 mm tall,the inside the stock wpl frame is 8.5mm,my thinking was using the stock frame rail for front and rear steel bumpers.braze on a winch mount to the front.
so thats a steel bumper set that you already have in your pile of parts.
