iR Biatholon or Flag Capture Targets

I ran across Stanlley's RCTankLegion YouTube Page. Great stuff.

Alpha - we definitely need a source (Hint Hint to Heng Long Factory) for generally available ir Targets. Especially since he created these using HL parts and 5 targets can operate off one transmitter.

We have been buying IR targets from a site called RCtankhobby if i recall it correctly. Rubicon99 and I have some. I used them for the IR part of our RC Tank Trials event that was set up similar to a model boat regatta but with tanks. He only makes them if buy a bulk lot of 10 so i had the split an order.

One guy in LA Tank has converted some iR targets into huge boxes with a flashing beacon and boom sound when it gets hit.

tamiya makes land mines for their 1:35 IR mini tanks but they do not work with 1:16 for some reason. Targets and mines would be awesome to be commercially produced but they would need to be compatible with the tamiya standard the hobby uses and, be a bit better compatible than the current HL 6.0 is right now. But, this does open a door for a whole new world of play if they were produced.

Nice.

We are starting with a small armory. Just 3 of us. So this would definitely add to the activity. Plus the iR target games should keep the projectile police from becoming Moriarty's with all their negative waves. Woof Woof!!!

I've seen Stanley's videos also and what a robust program he has. I too will be mirroring his ideas. I am in the process of starting a local club here in Olympia.
