*** Updated** The North East Armored Division (NEAD/QPG) will be having a battle day on Sunday, October 24, 2010 at 10 AM in Bergen County NJ. It will be at Sherry Field 60 Lafayette Avenue, Westwood, NJ at 10 AM. NEAD is a Yahoo Groups based RC tank group of more than 60 members throughout the northeastern USA. This will be the fourth battlday for the NEAD group in the past 10 months. We primarily do Tamiya infra red tank battles with the TBS or compatable (DBU/ELmod) 1/16 tank systems. You are welcome to bring any other RC vehicle you have. I anticipate several 1/24 FOV or VS tank as well. We will also have Heng Long IR tganks there to do battle as well. In April we had over 25 tanks on the battlefield and a tank recovery truck and M16 halftrack.You need not have an IR equipped tank or any tank at all to attend. I will gladly loan anyone capable one of my IR tanks to try in battle. I will announce the exact location in a day or two. I'm sure all will have a good time. We will have a nice lunch (bring some cash or brown bag it) and there will be door prizes. Bring anything RC you wish to buy, sell, show or trade too. Call the club number if you have any questions.

Thanks for the phone calls guys. Please post a reply on the forum here for me as to what you are bringing. And a pic or two in you can. The battle will be at Westwood but at a different park (Sherry Filed at the Westwood / Wash. Twp boarder off Lafayette Avenue).

I'll post directions on the group homepage.

It should work. Bob, NEAD CO

I'm trying to finish up my JP in time to attend, working on it right now.

Hi Bob Most likely I will be there.... How's the park because the park by me seems nice with all the trenches hills and gullies ... I kind of don't like the flat grass terrain..
Will bring 1/24 and 1/16 stuff.

Hi Steve,

It is fairly flat but we will have hills, barriers, buildings and dips in the terrain. It is also loaded with small shrubs which look just like 1/16 trees. We can all park right next to the field so access should not be an issue like it was in Hofstra. It is a shame they had to cage up that APC like that. I looks horrible.

Hi Buck,

If you don't get the JP done in time don't worry about it. Come anyway and you can run one of mine. Bring the JP to show us anyway, if you like.

Bob

Yea that's what happens when people mess up and destroy things... At least they repainted it and now no one can mess it up... I still love the place by me best for running the tanks there is so many different slopes and kinds of turrain to drive on and through makes it more fun and challenging to me.
Bob theres parking right by the road where the spot is it's actually just as close almost as the parking spot at the normal battle spot?

Is that the proper address for that field Bob?Need it for the GPS. Could probably find it again from the old directions but would rather not deal with that. <div> i'll be bringing my Panther and Tiger, Also a HL/Tamiya conversion Pershing I just finished for my son. It came out well and works great. I think this was the easiest and cost effective conversion yet as I went straight for all Tamiya parts right from the get go instead of adding upgrade on top of upgrade.</div>

I am planning to make the trip too guys. I am still working on the Tiger and do not know if it will be ready or not. Depends on the mail man and how fast i can sort out the problems I have with it. At any rate, it is not looking ggod at the moment for the big cat to fight. Either way I will be bringing out my Tauchpanzer and Sherman. The Leo is still waiting for parts to come alive and the Pershing is lacking a battle system. Blast it all....

I can't wait to see video and pics of the battle. Hopefully I can get the time off and come up next year after I have earned my vacation time. I want to get that longest distance travel to get there.

I am looking forward to this too. I may need a battle system if anyone has one to bring for my Tamiya. Seems that with all the issues with the Tiger, I forgot to order a system for the Sherman or Pershing....Anyway, I wanted to bring a video camera, but the battery does not hold a charge. Anyone willing to get some video of my tanks this weekend? Let's rock and roll guys!</p>

No Problem pf the battle system. I have two spares. Bob

The address for Sherry Field is 60 Lafayette Avenue, Westwood, NJ. it is actually in Washington Twp (Bergen Cty) but they use our post office and ZIP 07675. This is NOT the old range we have been using. Is is 2 miles closer to the Garden State Parkway.

PS Nice pictures Gregg.

Charlie

The JP is up and running. Ihad an issue with a bent drive sprocket, but it's straightened out now.
I'll bring it Sunday, looks like a 2 1/2 hour drive straight up the parkway....

Ok Got em .New field? Yeah it looks easier to get too. see you all Sunday.

Sounds about right on the drive time. The good thing is that on Sunday morning there should be very little traffic. The field is on two miles or so off the G S parkway exit 168.

Here are some additional detailed directions:
Here is the address. Sherry Field is located adjacent to 60 Lafayette Avenue, Westwood, NJ 07675.

Take the Garden State Parkway north to exit 168 Westwwood Wash Twp, turn right at the top of the ramp onto Washington Avenue (eastbound), go approx. 3/4 mi. to the next traffic light and turn right onto Pascack Road (southbound), go to the second light and turn left onto Ridgewood Road (eastbound) go approx 1 mi. and turn right onto Lafayette Avenue (southbound) If you got to the traffic light at the 4 lane road you missed the turn so make a legal u-turn. The Sherry Field ballpark is 1/2 mile down on the right side at the bend. If you have any questions call me at 201-358-6945.

If there is a weather cancellation I will post it on the NEAD/QPG Group homepage by 7 AM on Sunday. Don't for get the save the NEAD hompage on you "favorites" on your computer and check it often. I update it several times each week.

BTW. What video camera are you using? I am thinking about getting one and maybe catching a few battle from the ground level so to speak.

BBC KT,I will be using my Panasonic SDR-H200.It`s a 3.1 megapixel 3 CCD video camera.You can either record onto the hard drive or SD card.

Charlie

Hi Charlie and Jimmy,

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow Charlie. We should be able to get some really nice video at the field. It will be very realistic.

Jim I have a Sony Webbie. I wll be doing a d build post on is soon. Bob

GREAT JOB BOB!!

Great day indeed brother.I was a time for all. Some new members joining in and some really nice tanks out there. I am proud to say that my troubles today were limited to some issues with a battery pack for my transmitter. Other than that my work paid off and the PzIII and Tiger 1 performed very well through all terrain, thanks to elmod and some other goodies.
Looks like we even had an eagle flying high overhead watching us battle today!
P.S. Bob, I am coming for thatJT next time out! LOL

I want to thank everybody, my daughter and I had a great time!
Plus I got to add some "authentic" battle damage to my Jagdpanther.......
