Hi Mikey
Since you mentioned you are looking to find other tankers in your area, you would be most welcome to use the resources of the website and forum at World RC Tank Headquarters
www.rctankhq.com
We have a programme for tankers who wish to find others in their area with a view towards getting together for RC Tank related activities (read fun).
If you read the 'Join THQ' page ,
http://www.rctankhq.com/join_thq.htm you will see that we have a 'Club development Program' which is designed with guys like you in mind.
The 'Club Development Program' provides participants with a dedicated thread on the THQ forum, so that anyone browsing the forum can see that you are looking to find other tankers in your area. As well, we put an icon on the world map where you are located
http://www.rctankhq.com/world_club_map.htm , this links through to a standard webpage about you which is provided free. As an example , here is whitewolf's page who is a member of this program

If you are interested, you can PM me or use the THQ 'contact' page.
In any case, I hope you will enjoy the THQ website.
Regards
Neville Smith
THQ President/Membership Chairman
