Anything to help our 'rebel' colonies and one of the Commonwealth's most
trusted members.

I'll post the response on the Forum as soon as it arrives.

After crawling over that site for more than an hour, I highly recommend 
it for all of us yanks and canucks "over here", and I've added it to the 
list of links on the website.  It would appear that we have a sister 
organization of large-scale lunatics in the UK that spend as much time 
(and probably more money) building tanks as we do ;-)

Fortunately, at the present time they haven't equiped any of them with 
paintball markers.  However, if Mr. Burdett forges them into a fighting 
force, we colonials may have to consider sending an expeditionary force 
"over there" to maintain our status as the leading R/C tank super-power.

Steve, could you check with the Mark-1-Tank owners and see if they sell 
1/6 scale parts (e.g., tracks, drive assemblies, motors, etc) overseas? 
    If so, that could be a great source for the growing number of 
builders in the R/C tank combat world.
