I wonder how many people out there own an RC tank, regardless of manufacturer, and have never been part of a club, or even thought about it. Just like any hobby, you can make it as social or as secluded as you want. My guess is that there are many more 'lone operators' than there are in organized clubs. Some like the building aspect. Some just want to run the thing into the ground, and as such would rather not build one. Some are 'armchair operators' and like the social aspect the most. And still others like all aspects of the hobby and participate in all areas, to include clubs.

Still, I have to believe the majority are content to quietly run their tanks the way they want to.
