Re: Hi from Ireland.
Sarge,
Welcome to the Forum! What kind of tank are you looking for? It's sort of a Golden Age of RC Tanking right now with so many good models to choose from. Even more if you don't mind a bit of detailing, paint, figures, styrene, electronics, etc...etc... ;o)
regards,
Painless

Re: Hi from Ireland.
Welcome to the forum sarge, get used to an empty wallet because this hobby is seriously habit-forming! Happy tanking and don't forget to check the recommended suppliers and supplier blacklist section before ordering anything. Alwyn

Re: Hi from Ireland.
Well i am into all things ww2 so the tank has to be from that period. Was thinking of the HL tiger 1 and taking it apart and doing my own paint job. Then changing the tracks along with wheels and suspention as metal tracks r heavy so original plastic wud b too weak to support same over time so brass r metal 3:1 gearbox.

Re: Hi from Ireland.
G'day mate & happy St Pats day.(late-but I assume you're just ditching the hangover !)
Tiger 1 is a gimme for your first 'fix' then after that, each one you do is all about rehab
!
Please take the time to look through all the pages of historical builds, there have been some mind bending examples that serve as reference pieces, and good ideas for any project.

Re: Hi from Ireland.
Sarge welcome to the Forum, with you taking up this hobby it bodes well for the Irish economy, cos only the very rich or those in the good books with their bank manager can afford it, 
I hope you enjoy this place, we do.
