Clark,

Frank and I started out in the IRCWCC.  I started 1987 and Frank in 1989.  I would recommend scooter motors. They come in many different wattages and aren't real expensive.

Hi guys,
  I'm still scoping out tanks and deciding what would be fun to build/battle.  I live in southeast Georgia, with enough land to have a decent battle on :)  I had considered switching from boats to tanks a while back, but up until now, I didn't have a house large enough to accomodate it.  The new house has a 20x20 heated and A/C'd shop, so the wife can't give me grief over a 3 foot long tank taking up space :)  I've built scratchbuilt a few combat RC warships, so I'm okay with woodwork, CO2 plumbing, and electrical systems.  I have a 6-ch radio for a tank, and a 2-ch for a future support vehicle.

My main pondering question tonite is:  Would a couple of 18v cordless drill motors get a tank around well enough?  Or do I need to spend a bunch more money than that?

Thanks!

Clark in Georgia
