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

Yes it’s 6v but it’s got a gearbox on the front that takes the revs down to about 700ish rpm

Cool, thanks for the linky.
I think i am going to buy another WPL C14 and turn it into a Crawler for me as it did seem very good the one i had before, but i would fit metal axles and driveline and another transfer case.

This is a fair piece of kit I’ve bought a couple, metal gears & proper bearings

Transfer Case for D90 RC4WD 1 x 1/10 Crawler Accessory CNC Metal Made New https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2855501528

I’ve also ordered metal axles for the Hanomag, can’t wait till they arriveImage

Here's a couple pics of my rear suspension in action. Nothing fancy. Just some rocker arms made out of leftover aluminum. With this setup, the truck no longer twists the driveshafts out.
