So Excited !!!
Years ago I had an original Sherman from back in the late 70's. They were very basic and the controls were limited but they were state of the art back then. About a month ago I purchased 3 Tamiya tanks from a gentleman off Craigslist here in Oregon, USA. I really wanted to get another RC tank again so when these showed up ready to run I couldn't pass them up. I was blown away by how advanced they had become. I got a Pershing / Panther G / and a Sherman all with the battle systems. These were built and weathered and basically ready to run. I am still learning the modern components and the functions. I live in the country and have a 80' by 100' flat paddock that we want to turn into a battlefield. This web site is a God-send !! It is hard to find this much information on everything I need to know on one site. Wow !! I have already found info that I've struggled with just by browsing the forums. Thank You to whoever started this site

Welcome aboard from the Motor City. It's always good to see another yank join the ranks. It sounds like you're off to a wonderful start with those three tanks. Tamiya is definitely the gold standard and I'm sure you'll get hours of enjoyment out of them.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

Welcome to the forum from the near state of Catastrophe, UK. You may have Trump, but he doesn't know when he is lying. Our Boris has degrees in it. Do you have a spare state we could emigrate to? Maybe Trump could buy one for us
