Attention: To members of SoCal RC Tank Club.....Our club has as much as 30 loaner tanks available. When you attend our event, you can always invite your friends or relatives. There are plenty of tanks for all guests to battle and enjoy our hobby.

Please note: The event this Saturday will run from 1PM-6PM. After cleaning up, we will go to dinner together. So don't come at 10AM; heheh!

What are those tank tracks you have on the Panzer IV ?
I looked at the available Panzer IV RC tanks and I see none with those style of tracks.

I was just lucky. I ordered this tank (unpainted) from MotionRC and it came with the winter tracks included.

Preparation for the invasion of Mars, heheh!

The King Tiger is a Mato. The panzer IV and VF are from Torro. They are all installed with LegoDEI IR receivers for battling in our club.

The French collection....

The Torro tank performed well yesterday. It did the lambada shake when it got its 5th hits. It made most of the members in the battle laugh. We had fun.

We also implemented a new game. Members placed their tanks any spots on the battlefield. I had a box of red and blue flags that I walked to each member and they would blindly picked a flag. They then went back to their tanks and placed the flag on the IR receivers. We then started the battle. So friends and foes are mixed all over the battlefield. It was chaotic. I called it: "IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE", heheh!

That’s really a great advancement to have figured out. Way go guys!

Are you guys using the Torro IR converter with the LegoDEI?

Yes, in order to be compatible with the LegoDEI on Henglong tanks, the Torro tank must has this converter connected to the legoDEI IR receiver unit. The blue dome is too weak.

I am converting the IR receiver connections on all of my Torro tanks into LegoDEI IR battle unit connections. Our club member Tang found the way for us to install the LegoDEI receivers. Our Torro tanks could only receive hits from about 15 feet and in the shade previously. Now they can be shot at 70 feet out in the sun. After a long time, our Torro tanks are now qualified to enter our battlefield in our club.

Getting ready for battle this Sunday.....Henglong KT with Clark's inside.

[DavidN]

As a reminder, this Sunday tank battle event will include 2 celebrations: 1. Independent Day, 2. Hugo's retirement. The Club will order and pay for each member a Vietnamese sandwich from "Saigon Bakery". It is about 5 minute walk from the park. Attached is the menu. Please browse through it and inform us your pick by 11:30AM that day. I think this is last year's menu. It is maybe a dollar more now. Thank you!
