RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello, long time lover of WW2 tech and finally made the jump and bought a HL 1/16 Tiger as well who doesnt love tanks!
Been working on her for two months now with metal parts slowly flowing in from china !
I would like to meet and enjoy tank drives with any fellow tankies in Ellesmere Port if there is any? and wanted to maybe join a club if there is one locally?

Hello, Andy! As you know well, the Tiger I is a favorite. An addict, I think I have six (or more? ) of the Torro/Taigen Tiger Is. Curiously, I have never had a HengLong Tiger, although I converted a few other early HengLong tanks to 2.4 GHz systems and then gave them to friends to see if I could get them addicted . Please tell us more about your Tiger: early, late or mid version? ...what color scheme? ...what electronics? ...what metal parts are you using? above all, what questions do you have...? This seems to me to be a supportive bunch, even if they do live under a monarchy. (Uh oh, another snotty, ignorant colonial. )

What a very short memory you have Herr Professor, Was it only November through to January that your hilarious attempts at trying to demonstrate to the world how a Democracy votes openly for its leader and came so close to insurrection,
We have tried to rule our country with a President, (Lord Protector Cromwell) He murdered the King, cancelled the theatre and was less tolerant than Mary the first,And do ask the Irish how highly they regard him,
We got rid of him and settled for the status quo and long may that be so.
Creators of Colonialists maybe but also the rulers of the largest Empire the World has ever seen as well as the inventor of the Industrial Revolution.

Andy, Welcome to the Forum
The Tiger 1 is easily the most popular 1/16 r/c Tank and rightly so, It is imposing and with the plethora of upgrades readily available making it better than when you first unboxed it is easy and rewarding,
It is a worthy addition to anyone's collection,
Enjoy the Forum and keep asking questions and if you know stuff then share it with us

Hello and welcome to the forum Andy

Pictures of what you've done to your tank are always welcome

Enjoy the forum.

That's a great .gif, Mick!

Isn’t that the drummer from the Monkees?

More comments like that, Jimster, and you'll end up in the Davy Jones locker.

Jim, you really shouldn't give up your day job

That's a chimp, totally different species to a monkey.
