Well, the title of the board is "Show Off" so here we go. Some of these are in various stages of paint and modification (none of them are truly finished) but they're all RC and they all move under their own power.

IMEX/TAIGEN and IMEX/TORRO

What do you intend to do in the way of finishing the halftrack in something other then the quad 50 version.
Nice collection by the way.

Thank you. I'm thinking about an M3, and one of the guys came up with a canvass top that hides the out-of-place hinges. I even have the supplex to use for fabric. On the other hand, I may do it right and shave the hinges and install the ring with the .50 cal, tons of stowage and maybe a couple riders. I'm also thinking about changing the electronics. The stock Torro is actually really good, but it's got noooo range! If I get 50 feet it's a lot.

Nice showing Gary, I didn't know you had any modern armor. I don't believe I've ever seen it on your battlefield.

Thanks a lot, guys, for all the kind words, I'm glad you like the tanks.

Joe, the 99A is the only tank I have newer than an M41, and I think there's only one video with it making an appearance on the field out back. I have other videos of it from when I did the speed trials to try to get scale speed. I was actually very successful but for some reason no one else really tried the motors for modern armor. That really surprised me, since I only paid $7 for both motors, including shipping. I thought such a cheap upgrade to get realistic speed from an Abrams would've caught on, but I thought wrong. I do plan to get an Abrams (and I'll be using my cheap motors) but I'm waiting for Imex to release theirs before I spring for an M1. Next is a Famo!
