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 :thumbup: :wave: :clap:
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 :lolno: :lolno:
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 :thumbup:
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 :haha:

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. :haha: )
