Jersey ... what exit? :-)

Any battlers near you .... Mike, let's just say that you're just a few 
hours from the hallowed birthplace of the R/C Tank Combat hobby and home 
of the world famous Maryland Attack Group.  With over a dozen very 
active members, we've thrown more paint at each other from R/C tanks 
than the rest of the world combined!!!   So, if you want to come down 
and chat, look at our gear or participate in one of the battles feel 
free to give us a holler.  We'll probably hold the 4th annual winter 
building session sometime in January/February in Annapolis.

We also have a member in Philly (Amir) who has built lots of systems and 
has attended lots of battles, taken lots of photos/video, but hasn't 
battled yet (I think he's vying for the veteran-rookie award).  He can 
certainly help you get started.  There are also a number of newbies 
within an hour or so of you that are/were building vehicles.  We haven't 
heard from them recently, but maybe your email will bring them out of 
hiding.

What tank are you thinking of building?
