RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello, from Derbyshire.
I’m new to tanks as well. But with help given from this site I’ve had a lot of fun building a Abrams.
Learnt a lot, made mistakes, spent too much money. That’s the only down side to this site, you find some new every time. The wife has taken my cards, and shut down my PayPal account.

I consider myself very self lucky to live so close to such a beautiful place.
I would highly recommend you come and visit some time.

Yes I can relate.
I look at it this way there are a lot worst things a person could be spending time and money on.
Plus my wife always knows where I am and what I'm doing.

LOL.
Seriously though are friends to the south always a pleasure.

Thanks for all the welcoming post.

Hi there! I'm only a few thousand clicks away in southern Wisconsin, U.S. (south of the border). I was in Saskatchewan in the summer of 1998, and I recall dining outdoors and lovely city parks in Regina and Saskatoon. I would really enjoy taking the train to Alberta, but bank robbery is frowned upon here in the States.

Do you have any local source(s) of RC tanks? I have to go online for any tank-specific goodies, and there are a few sources in the US--way too few.. I sometimes order from Germany and the UK, but postage is frightening and requires really big orders to make it worthwhile.

Not much in tank goodies here either.
Luckily came across a local shop that has a Tamiya Panther kit.
But as far as parts/upgrades I'm in the same boat as you I will be having to order online as well.

Saskatchewan is nice but you really need to visit the Rocky mountains in Jasper/ Banff Alberta it is spectacular.
Traveling by train in Canada is very expensive.
