Grantham Lights armoured division monthly RC tank meet with a twist. As well as the normal tank driving fun pick up a bargain.

Shake off those winter blues! an RC tank/ military bring and buy sale! Empty out shelves and spares and get them sold!!!! Bring you piggy banks and pick up a great deal

This year we are supporting cash for kids charity ! we kindly ask that if you sell items you make a small recommend donation of 5-10%. the club will collect all donations and pass them on to the cash of kids charity.

The events is our usual first Sunday of the month 2nd November 2025

Dude, I remember RC tanks in the '90s. Everything was expensive and/or built from scratch. Tamiya's tanks cost as much as a used car. There was no internet, so you had to get documentation or go to museums in person to take photos and then develop them. There was no 2.4GHz system, everything was on megahertz crystal radios. It was tough ;)

As do I.
Books......they even had a smell.............
Thats why I raced motorcycles...........
I did the RC offroad car thing thru the 80's and then real bikes thru the 90's. Was cheaper than a Tamiya!!

Perhaps Mr br is not a prolific poster, thats evident, but maybe the charity is being well supported by those with a common interest we all share regardless of the public profile or exposure.


What do you reckon Mr Br ?

The walkaround video of the October 8 meet shows lots of interesting builds, and that HobbyBoss PZ 38T kit for sale is tasty but shipping to Canada...stoopid ocean.
