Hello from the North West of England
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:26 am
I thought I would introduce myself and let everone know what I am upto.
My name is Paul and I am from a small seaside town in the north west of england.
I was given a link to this forum by Steve at Welsh Dragon Models.
I have had rc tanks and other rc models for years (I had them when I was young and I am 45 this yer
).
At the moment I have 4 1/24 tanks, 2 Tokyo Marui M1A2 Abrams (one is being converted to a custom m1a1 with custom paint), a early model vspro tiger 1 and a late model tiger 1 vspro tank (all with bb).
I also have just got a big box of heng long tiger bits of a mate.
Its got full metal tracks and other upgrades plus all standard electronics have been ditched.
I have bought a asiatam metal hull with torsion bars and late type metal wheels to rebuild it all into.
I used to have a henglong 1/16 tiger many moons ago but I sold it on.
I also used to have a 1/16 t34 that I did a fair bit of work too but a mate wanted it and we did a deal.
I do plan to try and get hold of another 1/16 t34 at some stage (they seem to have disapearedon ebay at the moment).
I also used to fly helicopters and planes but had to give that up to ill health.
I still do fly paragliders occasionaly but no where near like I used to.
I also used to race 1/10 on road and off road plus 1/12 & 1/18 scale but havent raced for years now.
I still own a 1/5 scale fg monster truck/hummer with a 26cc zenoah engine (2wd) with lots of upgrades.
I also have a couple of associated rc18t/mt's with brushless and lipo. (one is a basher and other is a racer)
My latest rc models are a custom axial ax10 rock crawler and I am waiting delivery of a load of bits from the usa to build a 1/10 scaler based on a tcs custom chassis with lots of home made bits to go on it.
