| Hello all been trying to find other people who are into this hobby with relatively no success until I stumbled upon this site! Got into this hobby about 3 months ago and have spent way too much money then I should on my tanks yes tanks.
First tank was a henglong Pantiger ( I didn't know at the time!)
Second tank was a Tiger 1 early production model built up with Taigen parts with the control board being the newer henglong 2.4 ghz system. Painted panzer gray and weathered.
Third tank is a henglong leopard 2a6 with metal upgrades (tracks, road wheels, idlers, drive gears and gear box)
Fourth Tank is a Taigen full metal Panther F (super durable)
Fifth and most likely final tank because it's my favorite tank among tanks and because I seriously have way too many now! Torro full metal Konigstiger (henschel turret) this one is getting a tk22 clark board and a upgraded recoil and elevation unit.
All except my king tiger are airsoft tanks. I know that's a lot of tanks in a relatively short time span, but I'm dam hooked and super broke atm lol. I'm in the etobicoke area in case there are any other tankers around me. Man that's a long introduction sorry about that.

| Welcome Renesis......... I think I am the only active member in Toronto. There is one in Ajax, one in Richmond Hill and a group in Brampton, and lots in K/W and some in Hamilton.
Looks like you are well on your way to a decent collection. The Panther F is a nice one and that's the one I just posted to be submitted for Class A battler in a separate post. I am hoping that it will qualify for a Class A battler as proposed by fellow members. Its been a bit of a wild wild west and the idea of Class A is have some guidelines around scale speed, IR receiver and emitter standards etc. |

| Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Yes I dove in feet first but I don't regret it yet lol I never had a IR tank so I don't know what's in store. I don't know if the Torro IR system is compatible with heng long and tamiya? |

| No, the Torro IR system will not be but you are putting a TK-22 in so that will make it work...

Just to be precise, the IR part of the electronics is fine, as long as you replaced the electronic/circuit board to Clark Tk-22. You can keep all the IR pieces like the IR emitter and the receiver from stock Taigen/Heng Long etc. |

| Welcome , and don't worry about the Pan-Tiger,I acquired 2 before finding out they were a HL marketing item.
You can use them as they are or reconfigure as a Tiger I with a replacement upper hull. |
