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.

Had a spare GAZ Cab and a shortened rear truck bed after building my 6x6 GAZ34 Prototype
Also had some spare rain guttering and decided why not!
Tyres are non-standard, but fit well on the WPL rims.
I will be utilising WPL running gear, but the chassis is completely custom and dropped to give the low ride height.
Leaf spring suspension i think will stay for now, but just need to find a high revving little motor to fit in the original transfer case and run it on 2S lipo.
I need more speed for this thing, so hoping there is an opposite to the Torque tuned motor that fits in these things.

Proper slammed!
Still got a full rollcage to put together and a neat little tool box for the back

What layer thickness do you print those at?
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!!
