Jim, great to hear from you. Yes, we're working to see if we can find an indoor venue to use this winter to "exercise" the tanks! I'll post here on this forum when we know for sure what we are going to be able to do.
As for your tanks, there is a guy in our group that is familiar with the conversion of tanks using the Clark system, I'll let him know and maybe he can contact you via this forum. He has done some conversion and also has contact that he can share that maybe able to assist as well. Post some pictures of your project if you can. I built a Tiger 1 from a static to an R/C but it wasn't as easy and inexpensive as you might have thought. I probably spent the same amount that I would have if I'd bought the R/C kit to start with, but I did enjoy the build, though its not complete yet.
Please feel free to PM me if you want too for question or whatever. I don't get to K-zoo too much but I used to run boats out there years ago.
Thanks you for your contact, please keep in touch,
Happy Tanking,
Jim
