Hi everyone,
I'm Michiel, from the Netherlands. Have been racing/bashing truggy's for a while and took an interest for tanks as they're a bit more sturdy and durable.
Currently working out the design of a high powered tracked racing monster on 8s doing around 100 km/hr.
So for now I'll be lurking around sucking up information every now and then.
See you around and thanks for any help!
Regards,
Michie

Re: Hi!
Good to have you aboard Michiel,
Years ago when we lived in Seattle, there was a great hobby store. Yes, the kind you actually walked into! It was there that I saw my very first 1/16 scale tank. They had a race course, club, and gave classes too on anything RC. One of the employee's there had a custom built Abrams MBT that was all jacked up with RC truck tires and suspension. It was very well done and would pretty much keep up with all the other wheeled RC vehicles. It did wheelies, spins, jumps, you name it. Highly unorthodox, but also highly entertaining!
At any rate, have a look around and enjoy!
Regards,
Eric.
