RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello from London!.

Was into the RC tank stuff many many years ago.......10-12, had a (still do somewhere) Heng Long Tiger with the original El-Mod physics setup in it.

Looking to get back into this mostly as a modelling thing but also because RC toys are always fun, also quite into photography and motorbike stuff.

Hello and welcome to the forum Mishka

I too love bikes (Although in my past now) and photography, although not the type of models I can post here

I hope you get plenty of inspiration from our forum for future builds.

Mick.

Hi Mishka, as an ex-Londoner you have my sympathies! No, it's a great place. Any tank groups locally?

Not a clue to be honest re local groups, just remember this place from years and years ago n saw you had the truck section which I will be hanging around a fair bit, Intend to make an 8x8 vehicle (not a tatra....not at first anyway) which will be something as far as I know different and unusual, still forming the plans in my head.

I've been forming the plans in my head to convert this to 8x8

is that one of the Bruder ones? saw some posts mentioning them, are they roughly 1:16 then?

Welcome along!

Bruder are 1/16 I think. Tamiya do 1/14 which is comparable.

We run a tank club/meeting in Tunbridge Wells every few months and the next one due in January.

Yes, it is a Bruder, but I don't think you can obtain the 8 wheel ones anymore, or that length of trailer.

An interesting, getting one for a trailer to modify the hell out of could be interesting though especially if making a Tatra 8x8 as they would haul tanks about

Welcome back into the addicted fold, Mishka (... a relapse? ). Hope you feel better soon.
A tank build, whether static or RC, is always a good distraction, I find, unless it has left the financial coffers completely empty...
