I actually just seen the RC equipment at my local hobby store and thought it was a kids thing until I looked on YouTube and realized that was a real thing lol. My tank was my first RC vehicle since I was little and was actually an impulse buy because "holy crap it's a remote control Tiger!" And prior to that I've played world of tanks and absolutely love the movie Fury and since I got the tank I've gotten out of the model building hobby and took on the RC tank hobby. To bad no one I know or heard of anyone around my area battles with them or anything of that sort. The RC off road racing however is really big in my area
