RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi guys,

Glad to be here.

I have been modelling for more than 3 decades (Im 38 now).
My first RC tank was the Tamiya Tiger I had for Christmas as a kid, then I bought a motorized Tamiya King Tiger about 13 years ago. Then those 2 models have been put in storage for years... until my 5 years old son found interest into RC tanks
So I decided to convert the KT into a RC tank. I'm still working on the details right now.
I bought a Heng Long Sherman for myself and one StuG III for my son.
Then I bought the Classy Hobby M5A1 Stuart to convert it into RC which I have done in a matter of a week, unfortunatly I messed up when I glued the 3D printed insert I made into the drive sprockets, more on that in the dedicated topic I'll post.

Thank you for your great inspiring builds, I'm glad to have been able to find and join such a great place !

Welcome Mr Tox It looks as if you're already as addicted to tracked models as many members here are.
RCTW, therefore, should be a natural fit for you

Yes, the number of tanks is growing quickly !

Thank you for the welcome

Hello, MonsieurTox! You certainly are welcome here. I look forward to your posts on the Classy Hobby Stuart RC conversion. I have the kit in my massive stash of goodies.

Hello and welcome to the forum MonsieurTox

It is good to meet fellow tankers from other countries, who are just as bonkers as we are

Enjoy the forum.

Well I did nothing new, I more or less followed what Louis did with his Stuart conversion. The kit is very good and works great as a RC model ! Unfortunatly I did not take pics during the building process but I'll explain what I did.
