OK, and you'll find a zillion Saxon Ent. listed in the USA!
Besides the fun of rc tank models found on this forum, the chatter is equally interesting. On the most basic level your name (saxondog) seems quite appropriate for a rc tank warfare site, it is fun. Even for a site where everyone plays nice, while still planning for rc battle and I am familiar with the phrase Saxon Dog, mostly from useless, but easy college history classes.
It is also a very old derogatory military oriented warfare term for Anglosaxon people. Those people were most often described by their military adversaries as filthy; badly clothed and often not nicely characterized by their heavy build and dirty; long brown; wavy hair.
As in, "Those blokes; just showed up and burnt everything to hell and took all the women except Helga and Big Betsy. Saxon dogs!" Fortunately for mankind, the Saxon people have evolved into very nice folk for the 21st Century, so I mean no harm by exploring the roots of saxondog.
All in all I still would favor the derogatory "Spanish Fly" for myself as a military history derived nickname. It is a phrase believed to have been developed during the time of the Spanish Armada by drunken sailors serving under Admiral Lord Nelson.
