G'day from South Australia

Post by Talusadur »

Hi there Tankers,
Joined and would like to find out if there are any members
Minimally used M1A2
Minimally used M1A2
from the sunny state of South Australia or if there are any RC Tank clubs in SA.
Recently I was lucky to acquire three near pristine RC Tanks, two Heng Long and one Hobby Action for $AU 155 (About UK 86).
Will want to upgrade and mod up these over a period of time, so will be looking for hints and techniques.

Hi Talusadur,
Welcome to the Forum :wave:
Nice collection of tanks that you picked up for a good price. The JagdPanther is very nice.
If you have any questions or would like any information there is a search box located in the top right hand corner of the Main Forum Banner, but if you cannot find what you are looking for then just post a question... They are a very friendly bunch on here and someone is bound to come along shortly who can help you.

G'day Mr Talu

I have a rig drilling 160kms out of Coober Pedy right now, thats Mad Max country !! The boys are not matey with the sun I can give you the tip :{
You got a bargain with those two tanks you got.
The panther is actually a Pan(ther) Tiger. A bit of a theroetical hybrid of a Tiger 1 chassis & a Panther upper hull & turret.
The Jagd is a good bit of kit, plenty of mod parts available .

Ive seen thos M1A2's around & would have got one if it were not for the 'sickness' for German Armour that I have :haha: :haha:

Welcome in mate, I can direct you to the vendors good guys department and the vendors bad guys department.
Best look in those in case you are wondering where to spend your money.
I can recommend TANKARMY.com out of Melbourne, and OZARMOUR out of Brisbane for parts & upgrades.
Go your hardest mate, we are all happy to help where we can.
