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 OD wheel do you have on the wc51? Has anyone worked axle ratio yet?
Have you got 300rpm n20?
Did you get 6 or 12v ones?

6V+300. The 6V+600 are still out of stock at that vendor, but I might be able to find them somewhere else. I think the 6V+600 should do the trick.

These are what I bought, and I selected 6V+300

They're cheap, so I'll look for the 6V+600. If anyone knows where to find them, please post a link.

Tire OD is 57mm

I found 6V 600 rpm, but something was strange at paypal so I have to try later. It wanted to take my credit card but wouldn't let me pay direct from checking. Weird. Modern technology, eh?

EDIT: Got 'em ordered. The last ones took about 10 days to get here.

I’ve been wondering for a while how I’m going to mount the BFO big block motor into the Hanomag. Yesterday I found a file on Thingiverse that at first glance looked like it would do the job.
I took a punt & printed it as is...

And believe it or not it fits like a glove with no tweaking required.

Perhaps I should have bought a lottery ticket todayImage

Already ordered two 6v 600 rpm. Hopefully they'll get here as quickly as the last ones did.

Hey Gary, I can tell you for a fact that the ESC/radio combo I got has superb low speed control. I think this is due to the H,M,L throttle settings on the radio.

I'd get a video for you, but in my excitement to test out the truck, I stripped the gears in the transfer case.

Hey, I got an idea...
