Be a nice thing to consider for some tank combat weekends, if the host could get a couple electonics guys/gals to run a "how to" program for lots of us beginners.

I belive this would greatly increase the membership and general activity level of many if they could learn about doctoring/modifying/changing over the RC systems to where they could do more with a tank that won't do much. Basic soldering is not difficult, but it does get touchy around elecronic contacts and things that burn out easy. It would definately increase the interest in RC tanks. I have lost some interest because I have some tanks that are giving me a hassle and there's no one in this area to do or show me how to do the work.

I learned woodwind repair on my own and now I can rebuild any instrument (outside of sax) in my back room with no problem. Same would apply if I were to get some supervised hands-on with RC stuff. I think a lot of guys are like this.
