RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Burger,
It's coming along great. You've really got the patience required to do the detailing. The Tamiya Tiger lends itself especially well to brass eye candy. ;o) Following along.

Thanks for the kind words Painless,
Some say, I'm one short of a six pack, but I think that research and building is just as much fun as running the them, besides it keeps me out of trouble

I'd go so far as to say that most people with a creative drive could be described as falling short of 'the six pack', or slightly eccentric, in other words. Without our eccentrics (Newton, Einstein, Tesla...
Barnes Wallis..and many more) this world would be bereft of gadgetry, art and music. (although Ozzy Osbourne would be no great loss!) So, I'd say pride yourself on being into Research & Development, and having that tendency to look below the surface of things to see how they work (like Leonardo and others..). OK, probably no Nobel Prize winners on the Forum, but some contributors create a little bit of ingenuity, and an display original way of looking at things with their projects
I like your approach to research, and heartily approve of the way you've unearthed alternative sources and materials. Those Impact beefed-up suspension parts were great for openers.
Like you, I think I'm more into the research and build processes than the field trials. In fact, for me it's almost an anticlimax when the wee machine is passed 'fit for active service'. (no clubs locally, and only the seagulls and sheep to appreciate the wee mechanical monster in the Landscape! )
To enjoy problem-solving, you need a problem to begin with...a perfect tank is likely to be a dull one..
An engaging thread, BP..and one that will form a useful resource in the Forum archive

43rdRecceReg...
Thank you sir for your colossal amount of generosity on my build posting!!! I am so overjoyed that I stumbled upon this magnificent site for countless reasons, but your and others posts of encouragement rates at the top!!!! I am beside myself that I have tapped into my creative spark once again and have been given the opportunity to converse with some awesome individuals that crave and nurture the same passion I do for this hobby / Lifestyle. I have only yet started to utilize "RCTANKWAREFARE" as an outlet to exchange thoughts and ideas. Needles to say, I am looking forward to having many significant correspondence with fellow tankers down the road!!!
Happy Tanking!!!

I would raise my cup to you, Sir, if I had one to hand! This Forum often seems a little like Rome, in that all digital roads appear to lead to it sometimes and somedays, and on the way there you meet some interesting fellow-travellers. Slainte mhath! ('Cheers !' in Scots Gaelic..)

Love the etch work your doing looks great

Mr Burger...........thank you Sir for taking the time & inclination to post your progress in here.
Its a vital part of every hobbyists life to view the likes that "normal folk just cant do damnyou " !

Fantastic work and plenty of visual advice for others to follow-no matter how distant !

Do you have a cam scheme in mind yet or is that a bit promiscuous to suggest !!

Thank you much Sir...I wish you well and nothing but the best!!!
