I'm, rather obviously, khensu. I got into RC tanks through a sort of "joke" between me and my girlfriend. She joked last December that she should get me an RC car for Christmas, to which I replied that I'd prefer a tank - not even knowing they existed!
But the idea stuck and every time I thought of it I found it to be quite awesome. A model to change, maybe one day (when I dare) some electronics to mess with, ... cool. So 26 December (!) we walked all around town to all of the hobby/model shops to try and find a tank. We didn't, because apparently all the hobby and model shops in this city are owned by people who hate RC tanks.
I ordered a Heng Long Panzer III online that day, and it arrived early January. Late January I got a HL Panzer IV. Later I also got a Panther. Then my girlfriend got me a Tiger. Five months, four tanks in a small appartment. Either we need to move to a bigger place or I need to stop buying tanks (I think we should move
).So that's my tank-lifestory. Massively uninteresting, no doubt. However, for those who prefer visuals over vocabulary, I made a simple gallery of my RC tanks. Feel free to have a look.
I'm very glad to have found this forum, as it has been very interesting so far to say the least!
