  • March 14th San Diego tank battle day.

The next IR battle day is March 14th. The theme is Tan vs Green. This is one of the lead up battles for the HUGE “Desert Armor Clash” battle being planned for early summer.

    Any era of tank is welcome and will be assigned either to the Tan or Green team depending on overall color of the tank and or its camouflage regardless of country of original.

    I have been told a few new parameters of operation will be being implemented for those using HL 6.0 to 7.0 control systems.

    First, HL tank are highly encouraged to use a LegoDEI or other quality aftermarket IR receiver. The stock IR receiver has proven unsatisfactory for IR battling, if a stock IR receiver is all you have, you are still welcome, BUT hard engagement limits will be placed on your tank.

    Second, all 6.0 to 7.0 HL tank systems must operate on their low power setting. This is to keep a more even playing field with tanks using the Tamiya weight and damage protocols.

    Third, all 6.0 to 7.0 HL tanks regardless of their size are asked to only fire one shot every 6 seconds. That means count to 6 and you can fire again. Why 6 and not 4 or 5? Because not everyone counts at the same rate especially under stress, usually it’s to fast....I am guilty of this myself LOL.

    If you have any questions or need clarification on any of the parameters above please feel free to ask. Otherwise I look forward to seeing you there and having a fun day.

    Oh I almost forgot, I will have a few loaner tanks available for those that might want to just stop by for a short time and give driving a tank a try.

    Sounds like a good time! How many battlers do you typically have at these events?

          I did not have my glasses on when I read your question. Thought you wrote batteries not battlers LOL.

          It can range widely depending on a number of factors during the cooler months of the year but typically 10-15 and as high as 20+ during the summer months.

            I don't have a tank ready yet but I am going to try and make to take advantage of your knowledge as I build mine. Got lots of questions.

              Don’t let that stop you from coming out. There will be a number of loaner tanks that you can use and give battling a try. Also lots of people to ask questions off and check out their work.

              Hope you can make it.

                      Thanks for the photos Rich. Unfortunately I hand my hands full and did not get a chance to take any photos. If anyone else has photos and I know you do, please post them for others to see and enjoy.
