Post by PainlessWolf »

Good evening,
I'm enjoying my Gaz and have a build planned for it this coming Winter so I thought I would try one of these.

Carl!
It even came with windshields installed. If the crawler treads get old ( as far as fun goes ) just pull four screws and drop a set of the regular tires and wheels on and off you go again in an almost completely different running vehicle. You and your son should have a lot of fun with these new versions of the truck.
regards,
Painless

Good morning,
I'm doing a Lot cleanup this Saturday and will take time to do a few videos I've promised out. I'll add this truck to the list.

Good evening!
S.O.A.G., the build is planned for the cab over GAZ. This one will get a little detailing and some weathering and probably be left alone for Winter fun as Carl suggested ;o) I know what you mean about too many types of these Wonders. I saw the older type Chevy Dually in the post today and will be ordering one of them for a build ( since I found 3D printed hubs already that will allow me to run dual tires on the rear. )
regards,
Painless

It is always worth reminding ourselves that Heng Long are "Toymakers" which makes them as "Fickle as a fig" to quote Ray Davis.
Trends, Fashions they are all the same to Heng Long, They follow the money train.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
