If no fees are mentioned forum members will rightly assume that there are none. It is against forum rules to advertise, and I would not like this thread to become entangled in a breach of the rules due to a lack of transparency.
Although there are a couple of UK clubs mentioned here, are there any others that members haven't made public? There are literally thousands of RC Tanks in the UK, and plenty are sold every week on Ebay...so where do they all go?
Looking at the state of the hobby at the moment, the one thing that puts people off getting people involved is travelling costs, and accommodation. Eg The cost of travelling 50 miles to play with a plastic tank for a few hours probably outweighs the enjoyment factor for most. If it's a weekend thing, then you either have to camp (and go without washing/proper food) for 2-3 days, or pay for B&B or hotel accommodation. In short, the cost of one weekend would be more than a tank costs.
There are 63,000,000 people in the UK, probably only 15-20 people out of this number are interested enough in RC tanks to travel to play with them.
So, the solution is either to leave tanks on a shelf gathering dust, which is a bit of a waste of money, or find out whether there are enough people locally to join up, find somewhere to set up a battlefield, either temporarily or permanently, and meet up as often as they want to.
If you are reading this and would like to meet up in the UK, then why not add your location to this thread. There may be someone near to you that you are totally unaware of.
You don't need to form a club or anything, just people playing with tanks and having a laugh. Nothing more, no commitment and no cost. Some people build tanks that battle, using IR systems, some use BB's, and some build tracked vehicles with no battle systems at all. Maybe someone even has a garden that they would be happy to host a meet in?
If you don't let people know that you would like to meet up, then no one will know that you want to, so add your location here and see what happens. We will know from the interest that is shown here whether this will work, if no one adds their name then we know that no one is interested in meeting up.
I am on the eastern outskirts of Bristol in the Longwell Green area.
). I would certainly enjoy meeting up with like minded RC tankers. Not into battling at the moment but might be persuaded.
