Hello from Fishtank

Post by Fishtank »

HI all just to say a friendly hello and introduce myself.

Well first off im fairly new to all this tank buisness but not to the RC world in general.
I basically cut my teeth on Rc touring cars from tamiya, dabbled with off road buggys and truggys and monster trucks from again Tamiya but mostly Traxxas ( seems to hold up well to all th bashing ) :haha:
However i fancied a change of pace and went towards rock crawlers.
:thumbdown:
They were ok but i always wanted a tank, and as i will never afford a real full size battle tank i suppose this is the next best thing.

So i started with heng long.
So far i have
A walker Bulldog
Pershing
Tiger (bit of an odd one as when i bough it for spares it had a panther turret?????)
Tiger 2.

I am currently fettling and tinkering with them to make them more realistic and shall no doubt post pictures of progress and ask for any tips that people have with upgrades ( mainly the TIGER 2)
anyways :wave:

Good Morning,
Welcome to the Forum! Lots of accumulated knowledge and knowledgeable sorts here. A Tiger with a Panther turret? Sounds like you found one of Heng Longs' first attempts at making a Panther, the fabled PanTiger. Please do take pictures of your tanks and builds. We love to kick the virtual road wheels around here.
regards,
Painless
...Here for the Dawn...

Hi fishtank & welcome to the forum.
Four tanks already?
There's no hope for you :lolno:
Especially when you start to trawl through
The builds here & think "ooh that's nice"
Next thing you know you've got one 8O
Cheers
