Yeah someone out there replied. I don't have a camera but our battlefield does have some posted pictures in armornuts under Greg. I can send you the information if you would like to see them. This coming weekend we won't be battling but will will have two-three tanks with us at a car show I'm doing. Maybe we can get somemore people interested?

When your dealing with what is on Ebay you have to add freight from the far east.By then you can get here in the states for the same price.Check at your local hobby shops and see if they sell them or have someone that has a used one for sale.Lately here in Town we had a guy sell 3 used tanks that looked brand new, They never battled with anyone. Sold the Sherman with radio-battery-battle system (all you needed was a charger)- $500.00. The Pershing went for $550.00 and maybe the King tiger went for $550.00 also. When I orginally got my tank it was new($450.00) and 99% built all I did was add the battle system and radio.
Just make sure if your talking Tamiya tanks or any other brand (much cheaper).The others don't have the same stuff and can be converted but by then you could have bought a Tamiya.
My team mate with the other Pershing in our group has finally gotten to the repair station.It's in pieces and the ball bearing are being added as well as all the new parts.The other new Pershing in our group is about 75% complete. All he needs to do is the turret and paint.Hopefully he'll be ready for this Sundays exibition at the car show?But I did hear there were going to battle this weekend. Maybe he'll go over there?I'll find out this friday at the slot car races.
Also waiting on the other motors for the tank. Got the new 4200 matched set of batteries ready to go in as soon as the motors show up. See ya'll later.

Well if they battle today it had to be in the rain.What lousy weather today- rain clear up and rain again.While it rained at the car show I worked on the tank- put the matched 4200 batteries in and fix a few minor things.Hopefully next weekend we battle. The motor I've ordered have been back ordered.Hopefully Friday but I doubt it.

Well the tank has not shown up yet- boo.As for the motors it does not look like I'll find them anytime soon.The only good news is if mother nature doesn't do anything tommorrow we will take on the jerrys- here kitty, kitty.

Well sorry I haven't posted anything in the last few days. The battling went great for Jerry again. I broke the recoil plastic part on the cannon -again.Need to see about getting another and making it out of brass. Also have two tanks for sale down here. A complete Pershing ready to go with battle system and radio and a Tiger 1 with the upgrades without radio.
We should be battling this weeekend again. I have found out that the motors I was looking for have been discountinued for my pershing. Now I guess I 'll experiment more will some different motors as soon as I can decide what I want to get.
Still have not seen the Hen Long Pershing I ordered - it's been shipped.Let me know if anyone is interested in the tanks?

Well the Hen Long pershing/Snow Lepord arrived yesterday as well as the Panther and the Tiger1. Looked it over alittle and played with it alittle. It's a great copy of the Tamiya tanks but its no Tamiya.The metal upgrades are heavy. So far the shooting balls does not work to good but I did not get it for that.I'll mess with it more Sunday since we are not battling.

BullFrog

iTrader: (4)

We did not battle Sunday and I never even touched the Hen Long. The Tamiya is still at Chucks place trying a few of the ideas on the hit and firing vibrator attachment. If it doesn't work - we tried . Hopefully this weekend it will be a battle day. I did get some different motors to try Red Rocket's. Talk with ya'll later.

If it doesn't rain this Sunday we should battle again. My friend in Tampa is now thinking about get two tanks to battle with down there.I'll know Monday night if he want the two that are up here( Pershing and Tiger1).

Well we did battle sunday. I spent most of my time in the fix it area for the cannon.So I really did not see to much of what went on in the battlefield.When I did get out there I lost a track and was facing three ememy tanks- Got the final shots on one and needed about two on the others but................What a day. I did get the other 6mm BB from Walmart for the other tank and it works fine. I got orange BB's all over the place in the house and in the front yard.
