Default Call to arms for all Taigen owners!!

Hey tankers,
I need a favor I am getting ready to put together a few promo videos for shows, our websites, and more. If you have a Taigen tank and have made some kind of video or done any custom work on it please send me links or whatever you can! I want to get some customer videos, the guys that mod, the painters, everything!
These videos will be shown at retail and dealer shows as well as on our websites. I will use these to further promote the RC tank hobby. I have a few videos from RCAdventures/DJmedic2008 (good buddy of mine, he has a great video coming soon btw), some I have made, and some from other customers. Now I want the good stuff from you guys. I am not picky but I would REALLY like to get some tank battles on video. Even if it is a mix of Taigen, Tamiya, and HL, I want to get a good video to show people. Then depending on where we are I wouldn't mind passing out a few flyers like we did in NJ for Bob. If you have a club or know where battles are scheduled please let me know as well so I can pass on that information to dealers and retail customers alike.

Thank you all for just reading this. It may take a bit of your time, but think of the people we might inspire. At the shows we go to we have thousands of people walk by the booths and a tank battle would be a great way to get people interested in the IR side of the tanks. Send me what you have, even if it is just a picture. Make sure to sign your name or your handle on the picture if you want to be known.

Erik,
I have plenty of battle videos check out mine on you tube and let me know which ones you might want, I am down in St.Pete I can probably bring them up to Brooksville. Just let me know what resolution you might want them in, most of mine are in HD.
Here is the link to my you tube page with the battle videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/shark27t...w=0&shelf_id=0
I am sure they will be uploading some from this weekends battles at Danville as well.

I have a bunch of random videos including bench testing, indoor and outdoor solo running and detail shots, and several of different battles from my tanks point of view.. the quality is crappy but you get a cool sense of scale.

Erik,

I don't know if this will be of any use to you or not, but it does have my LVT's in it at the beginning.

No videos but I like my Taigen Tiger I's

The late one in Abt. 506 markings has an SLU.

The early one in 2nd SS markings has a Clark with a Tamiya receiver.

Thanks all, remember EVERYTHING is helpful! This is to further promote the hobby of RC tanking. I feel I can really put together something nice. Plus I want to put in something about RCU in there, to further direct the new tankers here. The more the merrier right?

Here are my 1/16 T34/85 (Trumpeter) and the 1/16 Tiger 1 (Hobby Boss). Neither one is R/C but they do show what you can do in the larger scale.
