Considering how many times the battery would need changing three months driving a 1/16 r/c Tank from Poland to the USA seems quite reasonable.

As the crow flies, that isn't so far fetched lol.
Not much more than an average 100 miles a day lol

So, if Columbus took 36 days to cross the Atlantic way back when. Leaving almost eight weeks for land travel across Europe and in the US to the final destination.

A rough estimate would suggest that a modern day delivery service is no faster than a delivery service before the industrial revolution :think:

Ah, but if we still had Concorde, and assuming the Americans would allow it to land it in the US, and assuming it could take off and land in your back gardens, we could have got that tank there in just a few hours. Makes you think, huh? :crazy:

All depends on the postal service you choose.

I received items recently from the USA and they took less than two weeks door to door. Don’t moan about three months if you don’t pay for the service.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys ;)
