Hi Welcome to the forum, well at least you have a friend to battle against, How about grandkids as well , don't bother with battle systems till you have the makings of club then your going to need them might need to fit them if you have grandkids playing so they don't shoot you in the eye.

All;

A while back, a good friend of mine casually mentioned that he was intrigued by R/C tanks and was toying with the idea of getting one.

We both began furiously reading, watching videos and discussing it between ourselves.

I now have a Taigen M41 Walker Bulldog (12050) and he has a King Tiger (23005) shipping today from FL. I am not a rivet counter, and have not even mounted my accessories yet, as I am busy learning to drive. I think eventually I would like a Leopard 2 or an Abrams, and I will likely get steel, ball bearing 4:1 gearboxes for my Bulldog.

We are both retired.

We are not having much luck finding local activity, but we may bug a local club about forming an "Armored Division". The hobby shop guy says he is selling about one tank per month. I guess I should mention that I am in the state of Connecticut, in the Former North American Colonies.

This might turn into a fun adventure.

Hi all I am also in the wonderful constitution state of Connecticut. I'll put my political views aside .......
In a second

but as the state of Connecticut is currently run I could probably pay Mr Washington's back taxes to the king and still have change left over versus what our current governor charges.

Nice to here from locals.... I was just recently chatting with a wonderful fellow in the UK and was complimenting him on how close knit and great the interaction is between the Tankers on his side of the pond....

But here in New England I've nobody to battle with my tanks

I just finished my fourth driving session, and actually managed to make a few graceful turns. Of course I made quite a few that weren't very graceful.

We have the BB version, so we won't be battling, at least with other tanks, but we may go to war with some empty aluminum cans.

We're in the central part of the state.
