| Hi Everybody. I was a member of this forum years ago, but got busy and haven't been involved in the hobby for awhile now. Well now I am retired, and wanting to get back into it. I live in southwestern Ontario near Guelph. I have owned a T34 for a few years now, I am looking at upgrading it, plus I want to purchase a few more tanks. I am focusing more on modern armor. I am looking at the Leopard as my first purchase. Where is the best places to purchase RC tanks and accessories in Ontario or Canada? I also don't mind buying from the States either. As a side note, I love to grow vegetables, but getting tired of bending down to weed all of the time. So this spring I built a raised garden. It dawn on me last night, as I was looking over the old garden, I now have a perfect place to drive my tanks.
Anyway, looking foreword getting back into the hobby, and learning from the more experience people.
Scott |

| Welcome back!
All depends on what level of chassis you want to go with. Heng Long? (mainly plastic, the entry Level) Taigen? (metal lower, the mid-level) Tamiya? (the gold standard, but not necessarily the best)
