Yup, I'm a cherry. My grandsons got me into racing RC trucks. My younger years got me in RC drag racing but my love was always WWII strategy games (Campaign Series, Panzer Blitz, Squad Leader, etc.,). So, I've always been intrigued by 1/16 scale armor and purchased my first. Came here looking for help.

Welcome, and for your own (wallet's) sake; step away from tanks. I bought my first about 5 weeks ago, and I now own 3. And number 4, 5, 6 and 7 are on the way. So in short;

RUN!!! Don't look back! Take up stamp collecting or bird watching!!! ;D

But seriously; welcome. I like WW2 armour, and I've got a Heng Long Sherman that is slowly turning into a Firefly. If you like to tinker and modify stuff, tanks are an awesome platform. And you can go as crazy as you want.

What did you get as your first tank?

TTFN,
Rob

Hi, Welcome to the Forum :thumbup: :wave: :clap:
We have a diverse and worldwide membership and it would be of use to you if we knew where you are because we are better able to bring you in contact with your nearest club/dealer,
So just what item of 1/16 r/c armour do you have ? Bearing in mind Rob1970 very good advice what is next on the Tanks I must have list :lolno:
We welcome questions (Preferably about r/c armour as our collective knowledge about deep ocean thermal outcroppings is I am sorry to say quite limited),
Enjoy this place and if you discover a thread that interests you please join in. :thumbup:

Welcome.
As was stated, feel free to ask your questions about this wonderful hobby (also please do try and use the search feature first however).

Start small, get sucked in, have the Mrs. complain about all the space taken up by Tanks and parts, and "Junk". Welcome to the addicition..

Greetings GWE,

That's funny, I was just thinking about Avalon Hill games just the other day! I used to play Squad Leader all the time as a kid. In fact I still have it somewhere in the basement! I was wondering how many member's of the Forum may have played these board games when they were bored! :crazy: :/ :haha:

Anyway, good to have you along! Truly a great place with tons of info and advice with anything you may need help with! An amazing group of guys too! Enjoy!

Cheers,
Eric.
