Greetings from the South!FredtheFrench wrote:Hello everybody.
My name is Frédéric and I live in France, in Brittany, not far the "Mont Saint Michel". I live with my wife and my son, in the middle of campaign in a little house and my neighbours are English!!!!
I work in workshop for Renault, since 6 years soon, but before I worked for Nissan during 8 years. In march 2008, I have visited the Nissan factory at Sunderland near Newcastle during a stage.
One of my others passions is races cars and especially the 24 heures du mans!!! For me, one of the most beautiful race and I love this weekend to meet the English people, because your mind is completely different about the car and it is always a joy when an owner opened his car to sit down inside and speak about it...
I was a biker with a Suzuki 600 Bandit, a Honda Hornet 600 and to finish a Kawasaki Z750, but I sold this last bike to buy my house in 2009...
Return to my passion for rc tank. I have beginning this hobby in 2006 or 2007 with a............................. Heng Long tiger I
Now I have differents projects.
A Sturmtiger Matorro with Dmd Tamiya inside almost finish...... since 1 year.
A Sd Kfz9 Famo from Asiatam. For the moment stopped for an important project. Inside it will be a Clark TK22.
A Bergepanther Heng Long not begin for moment, but I have the Dmd Tamiya for electronic.
And my actual project than I need to finish for the D Day is a Sherman Duplex Drive for a show.
This Sherman is a Matorro with upper from Nick Aguilar. Why a Sherman Duplex Drive? Because I love the funnies of Sir Percy Hobbart and particulary, this tank...
I hope my presentation is complete, but if you have some questions don' t hesitate to ask me.
Regards.
Fred.

New member here!
I'm Andrew, a 40 something dad from Sussex, currently reliving my childhood through my 12 y/o son.
We have a Tiger 1 that started life as a Heng Long but now has precious little left of the original save for the electronics.
From the leftovers I am currently a building a brushless fantasy Sturmtiger/Jagdpanther hybrid thing. It has 3600kv motors, 30A aircraft ESC's and currently running 2S 60C lipo battery. I'm going to have to gear it down a little but it will be interesting to see what lets go first, the plastic gears or plastic tracks!
I'll post some piccies when it is in a fit state to be seen.
Bye for now,
Drew.
Welcome Fred...Andrew...Clive... apparently I missed your earlier introductions... So instead of stepping into the world of introductory redundancy ... This is the best way I could think of to greet the three of you...CBBC34 wrote:Hi all
I'm Clive and I have never had any kind of interest in r/c tanks until I saw a Hobby Engine's Leopard 2A6 in 1/16 scale. Now I have gone and bought one and I should have it by next Monday, when I get the thing are there any great upgrades I can make to it to improve the tank. I've heard I can get metal tracks for it but is there anything else I can do and if so where can I buy these upgrades.
Cheers guys I will post some pictures of her as soon as she's here.
