Does anyone know of insurance for our models? Think about it. You take 2 or 3 Tamiyas (or a dozen HL) with radios out in your car and someone breaks into it. Theres a fair amount of money. Im not sure my car and or homeowners insuance would do me justice. Not to mention if something happened to my Armortek. Add to that when I do shows some sort of liability insurance would be good too. Always some idiot wants to put his foot under my tank to see if it "hurts". You know the jerk would sue me after it broke his foot.

I have insured my Ships under a seperate Writer on my home owners. The cost was really very Minimal.

Insurance is a tough subject. I'm a musician and when I go out, my oboes alone (oboe, oboe d'amore, englishorn) in one case have a value of about $14m. My clarinets, bass clar & tarogato another $3m. Home owners insurance will cover only at home....who plays a gig at home? My Renaisance and Baroque instruments (23 of them) are covered at home. There are very few insurance agencies that will insure high value items when you take them out to use. You just have to shop around for an individual company that will cover you, and read the fine print as to useage and restrictions. My 23 RC tanks are covered at the museum, but when i take them out, it's on me.

Anyone have leads on a company that can handle RC and diaplay tanks, it would be nice for all of us to see.

I know USAA offers personal article floaters on things like jewlery and computers. That might be one source if you can get USAA insurance.

If your auto/home insurance does not cover the particular item or ammount, get private insurance. The UKTC actually has club liability insurance as part of their dues and many have taken out additional individual insurance on their 6th scale models!

I'm sure someone sells to the rc market. When I used to race 1/5 scale in Europe, you could'nt put your car on the track until you showed your insurance card. In Europe (Germany) you were covered by the DMC (Deutscher Minicar Club) German Minicar Club, and cost about $45.00 a year.
