HL Truck to AEC Matador build

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.

Did you add metal screen or did the printer make the whole thing?

Hi Max, I added metal screen, painted it black and added a black panel behind the screen. I'm afraid I haven't got clever enough, nor has my printer, to create that type of mesh.
