RC Tank Photos

Here are some shots of my other Hobby, My RC tank collection. This is more like the real thing.

Wow, nice colltion buddy. I'm def. getting into this as soon as I get some money. Cna you send me a link please to a good priced one. I really want a Mk3 or Mk4 or a Sherman. Does anyone else have pics on this or models? I will get pics of my Mk3 J I have.

This is the guy you want to talk too. his name is Bill And i deal with him on a regular basis. He is in Texas and is by far THE BEST USA seller of these tanks. They have everything you could want and he will answer any questions you may have. There are other good suppliers but for a first tank this is THE GUY. Tell him Gregg from NJ. sent ya.

Nice. I have the T-34 also..nice R/C model..were did you get the Panther R/C? I have been looking for a R/C Panther.

The Panther is made by Tamiya. It is a early to mid style Panther G. This puppy is my pride and joy. It comes as a kit. You must completely assemble and paint it your self. It does not however come with the radio TX or reciever. They must be bought seperately. I have over $2000.00 US dollars invested in this model. The Tamiya tanks arenot cheap toys. They are THE TOP OF THE LINE in RC tanks. I have installed or fabricated every upgrade you can do on this model to make it near indestructable. Custom made gear boxes and braces, full metal tracks with teflon sealed ball bearings in the road wheels. And quite a few other upgrades. The paint was all done by me. This was my first full kit, It came out very nice.

Oh and Oddball, if your actually looking for this model the best USA dealer is Karen at the AAF. American Armored Federation A.A.F. Tank Museum
3401 U.S. Highway 29B
Danville, VA 24540

I ordered the HL Jagdpanther IR but they sent the PIII by mistake so to fix the problem they offered me a 20% discount +the difference in cost between the 2 models and free shipping if I keep the PIII So now I have a PIII and a Jagdpanther. on the way

thats cool Oddball, who did you order from/ that sounds like a Hobbyton fuckup too me though. i will never use them again. I ordered a hobby Engine M1A2 Abrams and they sent me a LEO 2A5. You wont have these problems with RCCommand I assure you.

This order was from Moto toys in canada. But I am in the works with Rccomand for some upgrade parts for my TIGER 1 and will get the stug III from them also.

Dont they cost loads?

If your talking about the R/C tanks..not the HL tanks. they run around $75.00 to 150.00 each Now the Tamara R/C tanks can run you around $700.00 + per tank. The HL's are the poor man's R/C tanks.

like I said oddball, thats nice that they worked with you on this. Mato is a very good company also, just on the wrong side of the border for me. It usually costs more to ship stuff than the cost of the stuff. i have used them alot also and they are the best chioce for you Canadian tankers. But here in the States RCCommand is the best, Another great supplier here is Phill from RcTankwars .com He is a top notch dealer also. I use them both. As for an E-bay dealer go with WelshDragon Models. Tahts blueslatesman. Thats his online name. he must own the post office because I have gotten stuff from him in less time than it takes to mail a letter from NJ to Florida and he is in England.

A new HL tank coming out soon http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8530088/tm.htm

Yeah i've known about this one for a little while now but was not allowed to say anything about it. i have some sources in the pipe line that gives me the heads up once in awhile LOL. I really like the direction Heng long is going with the hobby. They are really trying to get some ALLIED armor out finnally. The new Sherman that is comming out is a MATOTOYS tank not an HL. BUT Mato and HL are actually the same factory and very closely related.

] Here are my RC tanks. the last one is the lower hull of my Tiger I which I am starting a total upgrade on.

I'm doing a total update on my Tiger I also. it now has all metal suspention , metal tracks, metal gearboxes with the home built 3:1 gear reduction. i just added a new turret with full recoil and flash function. a new main board, it is now fully IR capable, and a new paint scheme. i'm going with the light brown and green paint. eastern Front 42-43 without the Zimmerite coating. i'll get some new pics up once it is finnished. Thats the same T-34 i have. i installed all heng Long electronics in it to get rid of theAA batteries. Now it uses a 7.2volt pack like the rest of my tanks. i like the Pz. III . Needs some detailing and weathering. i prefer the Panzer Grey version my self but a cool looking tank anyway.

I really like that Mk3 and I think that will be the tank I get. Is it possible to move the antena to the correct location on the tank to the (looking at the tank) left side of the hull? I'm deciding what color to paint it though. I like the Grey, but I also like the tan with the green camo pattern on it as well.

There is a antenna kit out for the PIII which can be installed in the right area and can be hooked up for use and it even folds down like the real one did. This is on my to do list for my PIII.

C'mon Metal , get a damned tank so we can set up some battles. i can be in Delawhere? in 40 minutes. LOL
I have a huge park just behind my house, plenty of room for a tank battle. Hell at this scale we could have the entire Kursk salient to fight in. LOL. One area has some nice little rolling hils and some small vallys. would be a great battle field.

Now that I got my computer to work I can purchase one of these tanks. I will be buying the Mk3 from RC Command.

I just ordered metal tracks and wheels for the P III and I just could not help myself so I order the Stug III also from RC/Command.

You guys need to tell Bill in the comments section of the account you set up that Gregg from NJ. sent you, you may get a small break on things at times. i cant promise that but you nver know. LOL.

Oh yeah, if you guys that are interested want to give me your full real names in an PM I can let Bill know that you guys are friends of mine. that may help also. But i wont tell him unless you are sure that you are going to make a purchase. I dont want him to think i'm telling you guys that He'll give you a break just be cause you know me. like i said you never know though. he might.

I Just sent you a PM..I plan on getting lots of stuff from RC/Command..next is the metal upgrades for the Stug III Oh and that is my real name on the sig
