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.

HL Truck Mods

Post by midlife306 »

Hi Chaps,
I’ve just found this model on Thingiverse!!!!
Can you tell I’m excited?
ImageImage
It’s a really detailed model, steering wheel, gear sticks & pedals!
On the pics above it is seen at 2% scale of the actual 3D model size, so printing it at 1/16 should be a doddle.
Can anyone link me to a drawing or such like with some dimensions on it so that I can get the scale spot on please??
Here’s the link to this and a few other wartime motors.

Cheers
Wayne
Edit: the actual length of the model at 100% is 5.506 metres long Image

Wooo. That looks soo cool. This 3d printing thingy looks a.doddle. You guys are doing a good job of selling the idea. I just can't think where I would be allowed to put it haha. Maybe have to stick under my pillow or on top bedside table haha


That link looks cool. I can see an even larger list of things to.print to be put together. Some of.those bodies would look.great turned into period hot rods! Haha
