I've got My WPL B16 on the bench. Time to upgrade the axles!

Took my tanks out in the snow. I let them sit outside to acclimate to the cold to prevent snow from sticking to the tracks. I may have let them stay out a little too long in the below zero temps. I had to let the electronics warm up, and it took a bit of moving before the gearboxes loosened up as well. #henglong #m26 #rctank #m4 #pershing #sherman #snow

The Christmas train is in trouble? Here's my attempt to quickly fix it. #gscale #rctrain #newqita

Took my Heng Long M26 and Taigen M4 for a romp in the mud! #henglong #mud #taigen #m26 #pershing #m4 #sherman #rctank

Years ago a very dear friend of mine built this custom WPL C14. He made the custom bed from a WPL B1. Sadly, he never got to fully enjoy it as he passed away before the upgrade parts arrived. I was able to bring myself to finish it with a few of the ideas we had for it. Namely a lifted suspension for some monster tires I custom modified from an old Newbright RC. And the crowning achievement, 4 wheel steering! It's sat on the shelf ever since I assembled it, so I decided he'd like to see it go muddin. Enjoy! #wplc14 #rctruck #mud #rcmonstertruck

With the FOB's M1 Abrams and M45 Pershing our of action, this only left them with a 76mm armed M4 Sherman. Luckily, they were able to take delivery of a new M26 Pershing, by rail! #henglong #gscale #rc #rctank #m26 #pershing

It's DONE! Come watch me take it for a spin!

Time for final assembly!

Time to put the turret on the tank!

I've got the turret together and working!

Here's an old vid of my M4 in the snow.

The WPL B16 can be hard to control with the 2 speed transmission and an upgraded 370 torque motor! Especially driving one handed while filming, or with my too-heavy camera on top. I need a Go Pro! lol

Quick rundown on the Upgrades I've made to my WPL B16.

What I thought would be the easy part, turns out to be a little more complicated.

RC tank recovery mission turns into a double recovery!

And so it begins! I'm upgrading my old 1/16 Heng Long M26 Pershing with new Taigen V3 MFU, and a custom recoiling airsoft turret!

Short little run of my upgraded WPL B16.
