Any Military Tank enthusiasts?

I've seen those as well. It really made me want to get a couple, but I never had the money. They were around $400 each for the ones I was looking at.

Here's a polite suggestion. Don't make that stop at Starbucks for a few weeks then you should have enough money to purchase a tank. Then next month do the same . Man, I gave up on Starbucks many years ago when I was in the middle of my Venti Mocha Frappuccino addiction. Cold turkey my friends, cold turkey!

I don't stop anywhere. I am disabled and homebound. Funds are tight due to disability not paying all that great

Found this on Amazon for a great price, especially since it comes with the upgraded metal gears. https://a.co/d/6fCEIRF

Would you stop that! That Walker Bulldog is the one that's been luring me in, I've always liked the look of it.

I'm sorry, I didn't know. I just know that I was spending WAY too much money on luxury items such as Starbucks and one day came to the realization: "What in the world am I doing?" and put a halt to it. Saved my money and now I own six motorcycles instead of Starbucks literally going down the toilet.

Even when I was working I could never bring myself to pay $7 for a cup of coffee. There was a gas station near me where I could grab a cup for a couple bucks and it actually tasted better.

I don't even like coffee. Tried to drink it when I was a kid but never could get past the after taste. Had a motorcycle accident when I was 19 years old in June of that year. Started drinking Iced Tea over that summer and NEVER looked back. I am an avid Iced Tea drinker today. Spend a large amount of time drinking Lipton but I drink a fair amount of Thai Iced Tea too. Nope, coffee is not for me! Don’t ask me how I started my addiction to Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino’s. Peer pressure maybe?

Got 2, wish I could afford the all metal version but it’s a large vehicle price

Hello Guys/Gals. Told you I had/have a RC Tank bug bothering me. Look what was delivered today. Motion RC ships pretty darn fast. I ordered this on April 17th. and it's here on the 22nd. That's great. I won't get to pull it out of the box and put it together until maybe early next week. Really looking forward to doing so. I didn't get any accessories like cannon camo or canvas rolls and the like just yet. I will in the future. I did purchase a couple 1/16th figures to go along with the Tiger. At the bottom of this post is my favorite scene from the 1965 movie Battle of the Bulge. Very cool. Gives me shivers every time I hear it. Robert Shaw passed away in 1978 he was 51 years old. Enjoy.

I keep looking at those and telling myself I don't need one! I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop with just one.

I hear ya bud. I'm sure I won't stop at one there's a couple more I would like to have. We'll see how this one gets along first.

 

[Hammer Down]

Pretty cool.

One of my favorite scenes in Kelly's Heros.

It's been a while since I've watched that.

Man, I built a bunch of 1/35 tank models back in the 80s, but a career in the military doesn't always allow for keeping alot of that stuff when It's time to change duty stations.

 

[kbear]

No, this is not mine. However, I have looked into Halftracks before. Zandatoys has this Torro model.

Okay guys and gals. Finaly got around to working on the Heng Long German King Tiger Professional Tank with the Henschel Turret a few days ago. This Tank is a beast. Very cool and I love it! Haven’t taken it outside for the maiden run due to mitigating circumstances and weather issues. We’ll get it out someday soon. But for now, here are some images I captured while putting it together on the RC work bench.

I do have an issue with the Idler hubcaps, however. The drive wheel hubcaps on both sides (at the rear) are not too bad as for how they fit but are a bit loose. Now, the Idler wheel (up front) hubcaps on both sides are very loose, so I had to incorporate a temporary fix by wrapping it with Bulldog or electrical tape around the sleeve fitting into the socket. This is until I can figure out a better solution.

Just pulling the contents of the box out to make sure I have everything.

Put all the included attributes/accessories on the Tank.

Completed Tank

This is what the scale says it weighs.

Great set of instructions on how to adjust a vast array of settings through the controller on the Tank itself.

Can't wait until you get to take it out to play.

 

[WickedFog]

Awesome looking tank! Now go get some dirt on that beast. She's too shiny!

Anyone ever see the movie, Fury? I have it on DVD and watched it a couple weeks ago. Below is one of the intense scenes in the movie for sure. Pretty intense movie for sure.
