RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi,

Thought I had better say hello, I've been sat 'on the side' for a few months and have now got a HengLong Sherman (very standard, metal tracks, some (non-authentic )paint work). It would be good to know of others in the North West, I met a couple of guys at Westhaughton about a year ago who had about 10 tanks between them, and I see from the forums that some chaps met up back in 2012, but it looks like that has fizzled out

Regards

Hey, the MAD club meets the third Sunday of the month at the old scout hut at Hyde.

Greetings...Welcome to the board...sounds like you already know the Adventure.... Photos of your Sherman would be nice

COG,Welcome, I always thought that one mellowed as one aged? As you see I know nothing, unlike most of the rest of the members of the Forum who with great knowledge and experience will answer all your questions, enjoy this place, we do. shaun
