RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi all! New to RC tanks but have always been a military buff in general (father was in the Air Force) but WW2 buff specifically. Ordered Torro Tiger 1 pro edition BB and as soon as they are available, will order a Torro King Tiger Pro BB also. I’ve always been a tinkerer so I’m looking to upgrade the tanks even before I get them:-). Any Northern California RC tankers on the forum?

I’ve been reading through the posts for a while now and love the wealth of information here and looks like a great group of people!

Looking forward to interacting with everyone!

Cheers!!

Hello and welcome to THE tank forum Mr Scb67

Thank you, we aren't a bad bunch, although. . . .

Sounds like you've made a good first tank choice although, I was sure that the Torro King Tiger Pro BB was already available

I'm probably wrong, I'm easily confused

Enjoy the forum

Mick.

Hello!

There may be times when you regret signing up here, ScB, (especially when the bailiffs turn up, on account of reckless spending )
; but in the main, yours should be a positive experience...
Good luck with the Torro! It shouldn't lead to sorrow.

Thanks guys! I’ll be posting upgrade questions here very soon!

Welcome aboard! I am also in NorCal
Work in Berkeley. This is a great forum

Welcome aboard from the Motor city. Always good to see another Yank become addicted. I mean sign up.

I've got several of those Tigers, great first choice. Can you post a photo of the insides? I'm wondering what gearboxes you got with it, hopefully steel. Does it have the extra steel brace across the middle of the hull, or just the one across the front? That's an easy mod if it doesn't. I can even send you a brace if need be. Do you want to upgrade the control board? Maybe airsoft barrel recoil? I have that on one of my Tigers and it's a nifty little addition.

Here's an old video of my favorite Tiger. This one has an Asp, so it will speak German to me and even play Panzerlied as it drives by.






Can't wait to see photos of yours. It really is a great hobby, but you kinda have to be crazy to be an RC Tanker. A normal person would go insane. Bwahahahaha!!

Nice to have you along mate. I hope you find boat loads of info in here and keep us involved through plenty of pictures when you can.
Don’t be shy to ask questions, we all had to learn once and we are really happy to help.
Hey, if it’s important enough for you to ask, it’s important enough for someone to answer.
Get stuck in mate, make a small fortune out of these tank thingos by starting with a large one

Thanks for the replies guys! I’ll take pictures of the insides of the tanks (I’ve now ordered 3 ). I think Ive been bitten by the bug!! I’m considering pre ordering the new King Tiger 1/6 kit from Armortek.....being released at the end of 2019!
