Re: Tankfest 2012 RC stuff
I was thinking of bringing my tiger over but its a long way in a mini. I have picked up a second Tiger1. It's a disease. 3 unbuilt kits in my shed and 2 more in my work room. Not all mine though. If you see these kits you want one. That Berg Panther is gor sale at present at a bargain price.

This just postd on the Armortek Site on You Tube, War and Peace Tanks in the Mud 2012

Excellent video of the Armortek Products driving the range, and their power is obvious.But the Clean-up might be a problem? How do you clean a 1/6 scle muddy tank?

Re: Tankfest 2012 RC stuff
I use a hose to soften the dirt then soft brush and low pressure hose. They are fully watertight hulls. Take tracks off and hose down. Final drying with hair dryer. Luckily I have a spare set of tracks for displaying. I was careful to prime all parts with etch primer before painting.
I would add that my driving was not in conditions of extreme mud as shown earlier.
