Ouch! :)>  May have to booby-trap them in that case!  Sounds like great fun
this tank business.  The technical aspect of the hobby is what interests me
the most.  It's what drew me to RC submarines.  That too is an expensive and
often complex aspect of the RC hobby but I try to build as much myself and
as low-tech as possible just to see that it can be done.

I really look forward to meeting you all and seeing some of you toys.
