At our event today, one member introduced his equipment to us on a new way of battling. I put it on and it was so clear. The camera can be mounted on top of the turret or on the IR receiver. Tang took one home to evaluate it further. We will probably have this new battling experience hopefully by summer.

We had a blast running the Battle of Kursk this afternoon too :-)

Our club is experiencing a number of new members who purchased tanks and did not know how to convert them for battling at our tank event. We now have an offer for those new members. We will get the tanks from MotionRC; mostly the popular M4 Sherman tanks. These M4 tanks are good for beginners. They are small and reliable. They have short barrels that are easy to maneuver in our battlefield. We will install the LegoDEI IR receiver battle units and the powerful IR emitters into these tanks. The new member will just glue the accessories on, apply the decals, plug the batteries in the tank and the transmitter. It is then ready for battle. If you know someone who wants to join us, the present offer is $250 with our club's T-shirt and unlimited technical support for a year. Please contact us at socalrctank@gmail.com if you have any further question.

If you want another tank instead of the M4, just let us know and we can do the IR installation for it too. The cost will be proportional to the price of the tank you choose.
