Ken Hi, Welcome to the Forum
I think of Florida as one of the southern counties of Great Britain , Goodness knows there are more of us in the state than in the UK in the summertime

,
An Abrams and a Leopard,a great combination with great scope including a multitude of camo schemes.
Please ask lots of questions and when you see a thread that interests you jump in with both feet.We are not allowed to deviate from a thread

and yet some of the most interesting ones are wide of the original topic so just go with the flow

And a warm welcome from Wisconsin, just 1080 miles away. I agree that a Leopard and an Abrams are a great start!
Since you’re in Florida, are you familiar with Imex/Taigen tanks? They are in your state, and I have bought no few tanks and parts from them. Since I am from and back in Wisconsin, I just can’t understand why Imex never offers tanks with winter camouflage. Can you explain it for all these foreigners here on RCTW?

Greetings Discoken, great to see your interest in RC tanks! I think all ages find them fascinating. My Father who turned 86 in May laughs like a madman while running my Taigen Tiger 1 through his garden! It's odd, but when I run over the vegetables I catch hell! He on the other hand, takes out whole rows of things and thinks it's just great! I guess one can never truly stop being a parent, and it is
his garden!
Sorry, I tend to digress a bit! Glad you're with us!
Cheers,
Eric.
