New to RC tanks but been involved in flying rc planes for many years.
I also build 1/35 scale military models.
RC tanks don't seem to be as popular in here Canada but I'm sure I will enjoy this new extension of my hobby pastime nonetheless.

Ok so it goes on for a bit & a bit & a Bit & a Bit & a Bit, Yes well alright you might have a point

Hey Tanker1,
Welcome to the Forum! RC tanks do seem to be at the bottom of RC hobbies in popularity. Not sure why?!
However, now you're among fellow crazies! Some more nutty than other's!
Actually, they're just extremely dedicated, and enthusiastic about this great hobby! I'm sure you'll find something to blow your mind here. I have my mind blown away almost daily with the incredible talent and knowledge of these guys! It's the best place to be!
Cheers,
Eric.

Hello and welcome to the forum Tanker1
great place for info, help and tips as you enter into the rc side of the hobby. I myself also came from a 1/35 modelling background, military dioramas etc but since finding 1/16 scale and this forum I have never looked back, especially as the ol' eyes start to struggle
do post some pics of any models you may have when you get a chance
Cheers,Lee.

Yes that makes sense, I remember listening to my sisters play Rocky Mountain Suite, John Denver when I was a young boy and dreaming of the scene it paints in the song, would love to go there one day.
