1:16 RADIO CONTROLLED TANKS

1:16 radio controlled tank Yep, that's 1:16, not 1:6... and I've completely gotten over the Cohoon Tiger fiasco of a decade ago!

These articles cover 4 months' of quick learning about the hobby, with info from many different sources; I did try to give specific credit where due, but the brain sometimes smooshes stuff together-- so excuuuuuuuse me!

I was more interested in building these things than doing articles about them, so I missed taking in-progress pictures (especially of turret interiors) that I wished I had when I started concentrating on the articles. Sorry, but I'm not gonna take them apart just to get those pictures! To help fill that void, I've embedded some funky YouTube videos. (I confess, the videos were just an excuse for me to play with new toys.)

Hopefully, this documentation of my journey from "newbie" to one of those dreaded "Tamiya snobs" has some useful info for folks interested in the hobby.

RC Tanks go hoof-in-mouth with spending money: These are some vendors that have helped me get rid of my hard-earned moolah. Bear in mind that I don't endorse these guys-- I didn't have any problems with them at the time, but the world changes, websites and businesses bite the dust, yadda, yadda, yadda.
