New to tanks

[jtracks]

Hello, my name is Joe. I live in the US. I've been involved in some sort of RC since 1971 and have just become interested in the rc tanks.

Joe,
Welcome to the Dark Side! This is a great time to look into RC Tanks as so many models and upgrades and electronics are available now. This Forum has some of the best folks working in the Hobby so settle in for a long stay. Check out the sub headers on the site to see examples of all types of builds and mods and how-tos. Check out the vendors section for sites who are established as good ones to purchase from as well as ones who are more problematical. Above all, we love pictures and chatting about the armor so once you have a tank, be sure to share it with us.
regards,
Painless

I also lived on a rock in the Pacific, then moved to the other large rock in the Pacific, now I drill holes in the large rock, and build (big waste of time,space & money) tanks (thanks darling for the enlightened comment)which really are an evolution of years of sharp eyesight, patience of Mother Theresa, and life, advancing years, thinning hair mild incontinence driven by alchohol intake, fading eyesight, no patience whatsoever, kids, bills, an ex wife, ..................................................
So these 1/16th things are bloody good mate, suitable for 40 + eyes, and fingers ! have loads of accessories, hard or soft options, luxury or poverty demographic choice selections and plenty of assistance in decisions or research.
There is a handy thing called "the net" which saves a huge amount of space in a house over the books I normally required, and these thing are pro0-rata great value for money.
Welcome in, pics please , because we are at the stage where poor spelling & worse grammatical attention is more common than a plastic flag on game day
