RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Good Afternoon,

Retired from a 35 year career of international teacher. I've been been building and flying r/c balsa for three years. I'm also into CAD/CAM and have a Prusa Mk4 3d printer, I stumbled onto a 1/10 r/c tank stl file. After some poking around, I ended up here!! OMG!!!!!! Didn't know this existed!!!! Too cool, super excited!!!!

Thanks for the invite!!!

Hello, from the center of France, and welcome. You are in the right place, to learn a lot about RC tanks, you will find help, advice, opinions, and friendliness

Welcome from Ontario, Canada! 3D printing pretty much opens up a huge range of possibilities and scales. The rabbit holes await!

Hello and welcome to the forum Thembi

Roughly where in the world does one indulge in ones hobbies?

Welcome Thembi. Before printing that 10th scale tank take a look at our Larger Scale Military (builds): viewforum.php?f=80 Most of us here work in 16th but there a few who like the tenth and even 1/6th scale. I only mention this because there are more drivetrain, tracks and such for 16th. The others often require custom drivetrains.

As I said, welcome aboard.

Hello, Thembi! Based on what you say above, you are well-prepared for the 1/10 project, and many more. The Larger Scale Military folks will probably jump in eagerly to help you with questions and problems. I have noticed that many building in 1/10 use parts from RC cars and trucks of that scale with remarkable results.

Welcome to the forum Thembi from New York!
