Where'd that IS-3 (or 7 or, don't recognize the turret) come from? I want!

That's a completely 3d printed one IIRC, that guy in Ukraine that makes all those STLs

Drupelu RC on Facebook has his own version of the IS-7 which is were I got mine before I owned my own 3D printer. He's also made a T10 and prototype IS-3 which I think he would do well with if he sold it.

These two Tigers are part of our loaner fleet. For three years, they were abused unintentionally by our guest players at our exhibitions and events. Our guests were normally only instructed for 5-10 minutes. These tanks are now getting their barrels replaced to a shorter version as to hope they would last longer and less "fixing" work on our part after the event. They look funny; however, they serve our purposes. They also fit into the transportation boxes quite well too.

Got this HL M41 in a bundle purchases. I replaced its internal components with HL 7.0 board and installed LegoDEI battle system. It is practically almost new. It has metal gearboxes, tracks and sprockets. It is ready for IR battle. I have the decals so the new owner can place them wherever he pleases. This sale is for SoCal members only. $170 for new member or member who is under 18 years old. Pick up locally at our event .

Additional tanks with short barrels are added into the fleet of loaners for the event this Saturday.

I had a chat with a friend yesterday. When we were about to shake hands and depart, he pulled out $100 and handed it to me. He said that he wanted to support our club. I was super surprised by his offer. Many thanks....Anthony. I will put this $ into our club's fund.

Register your club as a non-profit organization so that your friend can claim tax deduction.

The Bulldog is sold. Sorry folks! The mother of a teen member in our club got it for her son. He will enjoy battling in many of our future events.

Two more units are ready for our young guests to play tomorrow at the Cerritos Carnival. These two also had their long barrels replaced. Quite better in bringing them to the battlefield.

Thank you Steve!

Another fun day promoting the hobby and allowing the young students to try tank battling for the first time. All $ collected were given back to the school. One student won the grand prize. His number was picked in our raffle and he got to bring home a 1/16 scale Sherman.

Non members are welcome to attend and spectate though we will not be officially bringing loaners/demo tanks. It'll be a good place for our new people and prospective members to talk shop, fix tanks, and ask questions with the other members!
