Hoping to get across to this to meet some new faces and give my tanks a go.

Is the Taigen and Torro IR systems compatible?

Hi Always nice to see new faces ,your tanks may not be compatible but if you want to have a battle you can use one of mine (always take a few). See if you like the battle side of tanking before you spend your hard earned cash. You can drive your tanks around to get practice (bet you don't get much driving in the winter ) there will be few new Models at the meeting . Have seen a photo of Marks WW1 tank it looks epic , and you live in the city that built them.

regards pete
