You want to battle in your backyard with HL IR or Airsoft, feel free. No one is twisting your arm to go to Danville or the other battle sites. I can never see Danville allowing airsoft tanks to battle on their field. The BB's are a mess. Maybe an IR battle using HL IR Tanks. Remember Tamiya was the first in the game. I still cannot figure out why when HL made the decision to install IR in their tanks, they didn't use the established standard.I have converted a couple of HLs using El mod and Daves Battle Circuit. You can do a DBCmod relatively inexpensively.
