Hi, great forum I've been browsing quite a bit.
New to the RC tank hobby but been model building most of my life. I'm 28, living Connecticut, USA. Wonder if there are any clubs near me.
I bought a base model KV-1 for my girlfriend, and a PZIV for myself, airsoft models. We both love the game World of Tanks. I quickly discovered there was a real hobby to this beyond just the toys. Shortly after learning about the real rc tank hobby, and mainly wanting to push things more in that direction I purchased a Tiger I with metal tracks, gears and drive components and an Asiatam/Taigen metal hull for it as well as some gear reductions. I plan on may more major upgrades most especially an IR battle system. I'll be performing and documenting a full tear down, and remodeling of my Tiger.
I really want to do a correction on the Tiger turret so it spins center and I can use a turret ring. I have not seen much info on that mod so I'll probably make measurements myself.
Thanks for the great forums, see you around here all.
