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.

Hi Chase.
Yep thats exactly the same one as i got and fitted to my 6x6
It works really well and the ratios are really well spaced. The bigger motor helps too.
It is a lot bigger than the standard unit and fills all the space up where the old motor fitted.
Just check out my earlier post to check a few things prior to fitting as mine had a couple of small easily fixed bugs.
I am still waiting for the all metal axles to arrive...ho hum.
Enjoy.

A really cool light set arrived finally. Tamiya light set, so it was a little pricey.
Plugged it all in and it is awesome. Video to follow once I get it fitted to my 6x6.

As for my M35 A2, I am still waiting the all metal axles........
Then I can at least finish it!

My biggest problems now are keeping the driveshafts on, and battery power. Should be solved with some locktite and I'll probably move into Lipo batteries for this truck.

ImageCupola fitted ready for MG up front. Bit more armour added aswell. Got loads still to sort, but taking shape nicely. Fun fantasy scratchbuild by Will Pattinson, on Flickr

Also had a test drive in loose sand mounntains in the garden and it climbs real well!

Plasticard back end scratchbuilt, also adding alot of extra details with 3D printed cutom parts

Yes i know it is not a real truck and is based on fantasy, but it is really taking shape :)

Ok my picture taking skillls are alot to be desired, i also hate using a bloody flash.
But here goes some mockup pictures of my M35 Airfilter(after a little re-szing for the WPL truck)

For this truck it is one of the finishing touches. I am keeping it quite simple, although i do keep telling myself to sort the wheels and run dual wheels on the back.
Just not sure what tyres to go for.
Anyway the air filter looks not too bad i think

Ignore the rear tracks, i like to store this truck with the tracks not in tension.

I am printing some front deuce style wheels up front to help the look. Still got to do a big cannon and then have a tarpaulin folding cover.
The quad M16 was a bit of fun anyway lol

So do I get the wpl b16 with metal upgrades or the jjrc q60 and wait for metal upgrades to be released?
