Whereabouts in the UK are you? Unfortunately, RC tank clubs seem to be few and far between.

Heng Long used to produce an IR system but no more. The standard used for battling is the Tamiya system. To install this normally requires the replacement of the Heng Long electronics with a new board. This can get quite expensive. However, an Australian has produced a board which plugs in between the turret and the Heng Long board. Thi is a much cheaper otion and is available in the UK from http://www.rctankelectronics.com/store/ ... O2017.html The owner of this business is a member of this forum and goes under the name of Tankbear.

Incidentally, welcome to the forum. Have a read through some of the threads and you will see how we do things. It is nice to see a young tanker here - a number of us (like me, for instance) are headed towards the other end of the age spectrum. We are a friendly bunch,so when you have any questions,ask away.

Don't worry if you have got off slightly on the wrong foot. You will soon get how things work.

So far as UK clubs, you will find members of several here. It would help us if you could indicate what part of the UK.

Sorry - I misread your original post. We do need a county location to know where to point you.
