Panzerpaul

Greetings Fellow Tankers: The original thread for this subject is some how frozen, so I have copied all the club info and restarted it. This thread is intended to be the beginning of a long list of all those 1/16th scale RC tank clubs from around the world. I will post this on multiple forums so we can pick up as many clubs as possible. Therefore, if you enter your club on one forum, you do not have to do it on another.

Also, please do not post any other type info or comments….only club info....so this can be kept as a clean thread.

To add your club name, you have to consist of at least 4 confirmed members who own 1/16th RC tanks and have been in business for a year. You can play with other scales, but 1/16th has to be your main emphasis. Just copy this basic format and input your own info in place of mine. Please maintain the bold print where shown.

Anything special you want to add: Our battle field was created based on "first person view" tank battle fighting. All our tanks have cameras mounted on them and when we play, we are located in rooms seperated from the field. This requires considerable skill from the players to drive and shoot based only on camera feeds. The side that wins a battle must destroy all opponent tanks within a 5 minute time limit. For additional information and details please vist this webpage http://www.geocities.jp/panzer_warriors/index.html.

I have copied your club information to the new IRCTO website, so that many more tankers can view it. I hope you don't mind, and if you get more clubs to contribute, please let us know so we can update our page. Thanks for the hard work of gathering all this info over the last couple months, its a definite benefit to the RC tankers worldwide. I wish IRCTO had thought of this ourselves.
