Post subject: 1/8th Scale Challenger

Hi guys i'm from the officers club, i have been flying radio controled planes for the last 7 yrs, although fun, i am thinking of moving over to something a little harder to destroy, i spotted these tanks and was wondering if any of your model guys have dealt with or know anything about them, links would be apreciated, i live in the UK and know of one dealer over here. i'm not looking at pure scale, stand off models can be fine, i also read somewhere these can be fitted with paintball systems, basicly i'm looking for fun not hard work building. any help?

thanks Ban:

Hi Shadow Banshee! Hi Doug! Hi Folks!

Just wanted to say welcome to the get down in the dirt and the muddy side of military hardware world of fun. Razz

My U-control flying time was a grand total of about 15 seconds. Crying or Very sad

After that I move over to world of plastic kits.

Never got into the RC part of things, but from what little I have seen and read about, looks like it is lot of fun. At the end day, you may need to find a wash rack, but least your AFV will be in one, working, piece.

Good Luck, have fun playing IN the mud.

Sgt, Scouts out! Smile
