Hi there from the Netherlands

Post by Inflatable »

Hi there RC tankers,

I'm a 41 year old railroad engineer from the Netherlands and I just ordered my 1st RC tank. Your forums was a great help to find info and make my decision what to buy.

For my 1st RC tank I went for a Torro King Tiger Professional Metal Edition camo airsoft version with upgraded steel 4:1 gearbox instead of the metal ones, upgraded Visaton M speaker to get rid of the toy HL speaker, HL proportional smokemodule which is much quieter and obviously proportional, proper messing Tiger antenna to get rid of the toy antenna, and the Beier USM-HL soundmodule to produce proper sound and custom sounds.. I'm probably gonna upgrade to the even better Elmod and 2.4Ghz later when I get my second tank (also want a Tiger I).. I ordered it at http://www.rctank.de as that was the closest proper RC tankshop I could find that sold the tank.. Dominique from rctank.de was also really helpfull with lots of usefull info and he even preinstalled all the upgrades for me and tested the tank before shipping.. It's being shipped right now, so I'll have it any day now!!

Since I'm new to RC tanking I still have plenty of questions and stuff to find out.. I'll see you at the forums!

Hi Inflatable,
Welcome to the Forum :wave:
That is a VERY VERY nice first tank....The Full metal version is good but your upgrades are great....Are you going to add the zimmerit paste to the metal turret or to file it off the hull ?
