It's only January and we're locked in as an attraction for Planes of Fame's annual Wings, Tracks, and Wheels 2026 weekend long event in Chino.

It is quite funny that the museum sent me an email on Friday asking me to run our program in their event. And here in their poster, they already included us in there, heheh!

Just finished working on my X-mas present. This T-72 ERA is ready for battle this Sunday. It has the 7.1 board inside with barrel recoil feature and multiple lights.

For this Sunday event, might as well bring this E German one to support its Russian comrade.

The French will join in at the battle this Sunday.

Not without the German.....

SoCal Bob donated this LeClerc TD tank to our club. It was delivered to us at the event yesterday. I will convert it into IR LegoDEI battle mode and attempt to sell it. The $ will be input into out Club's fund. Many thanks Bob!

We like the ways our members decorating their tanks. However, some of the accessories on your turret might obstruct the opponent's IR beam to the IR receivers of your tank. In the past, we asked all members to take out your machine guns, commanders, flags, or cameras before battling. Everything had to be below the IR receivers.

Now we feel that this decision will discourage members from adding nice items and from further decoration on their tanks. The new rule we will apply for this issue: Tanks with obstacles at the same level of the IR receiver will be deducted hits by your team captain at the beginning of each battle. Tank with 1 obstacle will get 1 hit reduction. Tanks with 2 obstacles will get 2 hits reductions. Tanks with obstacle at 5mm or less, we won't apply the reduction. Enjoy tanking everyone.

The donated Tongde LeClerc tank by SoCal Bobs was upgraded. It was installed with the new HL 7.0 board, new controller, new LegoDEI IR receiver and the long range IR emitter. It is now available for purchase by our local new members or teen members at $120. I believe our 1st new member on the waiting list is Juan Ortiz. Juan has 2 days to decide. Then I will pick to next member on my list. Happy tanking! Please note, this tank NIB is $250 at MotionRC without the $35 LegoDEI IR receiver set and my 2 hour installation work from the mess Bob left inside the tank, heheh! Again, the $ received from this tank will be put into our club's fund.
