hello, totally new to RC, old modeller want to build an RC tank or two. I have got two old Tamiya Shermans (one from 1974, one from about 2004) that I am keen to build/upgrade. Even after reading reference sections I will no doubt be asking beginner questions. Its an age thing. I live in South West England which suits me nicely.

Here's a heartfelt welcome from Wisconsin, US, ScipioAlba! I enjoyed your description because it fits
me so well, too: "old modeller...asking beginner questions. Its an age thing."

And, of course, being a colonist, I approve of Shermans.

So fire away with the questions!
