Hello All, Thanks for letting me join. I am a long time RC guy. I enjoy all facets of the hobby and have owned at least one of everything at some time. With the exception of a tank! I have been watching some Youtube videos as of late and am curious about which venders/brands ect that one should look at. I am located in Sacramento California. Very new to tanks and ready to learn. Thanks DF.

Welcome aboard. Here’s a link to a reputable seller here in the US:
https://www.taigentanks.com/
Are you interested in WW2 tanks or more modern tanks?

Hi DF Welcome to the Forum
You are already aware of how deep your pockets have to be to finance R/C so just to reassure you that this portion of the hobby is no cheaper than Aircraft or boats
The ever helpful Jimster has given you the address of one of the Lower 48s straightest dealers BUT I would be doing homebase a disservice if I failed to mention that the UK has some top quality dealers who besides taking your money offer something that is dying out and that is GREAT Service
Enjoy choosing your Tank it is a fun part of this hobby that never tires.
Ask lots of questions and we will try hard to give you (Correct) answers

Welcome from a Wisconsin-born boy and retiree. I have lived all over the country, including LA. Sacramento has to be a great place to live. Like Jim, I, too, have had good experience with Taigen Tanks out of Florida. (My savings, of course, have suffered some over the years.
