actually, that is what i really meant Perry, but seriously Richard...please make a Sub-Forum for "Build Threads". Everyone thats interested please leave a comment so he can see we are serious. Thanks for listening Richard L. & thanks for f.a.q.
Threads like this all together: http://www.rc-panzerketten-forum.com...?threadid=4550 & make it organized like this: http://www.rc-panzerketten-forum.com...php?boardid=35

I know that troll....Sweetum's !

what i think he means is more of a 'lunch box' like the other forums have.

What would be cool is a 'build' or 'how-to' sub forum. Look at the Panzerketten forum. They have one and it's awesome, everythings a heavy mod or a scratch build. That way those of us that want to have build threads and the like could post there and the people that want to do the text chatting can do that in some other place you could simply pass over or participate if that's your thing.

Thank you Perry...i just couldn't help but be slightly frustrated at the boring topics lately...I feel the same way as i'm sure lots of others too in our camp.[&o]

Alot of cool build threads get lost in a sea of general chat, I think the build sub-forum is a good idea.

yar. like that awesome kingtiger build. havent seen that in a long time.

I'm building a King Tiger in 1:10 ( or KöTi if you prefer ). I have been covering the progress, which is slow lately due to work demands it on my website http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/2828/anewoldproj.html But I'd welcome the opportunity to expand the horizons. I would share what I've learned as time and space allow...

Ja, a sub-forum for built threads would give us a better overview, easier search and so more knowledge !

Absolutly fantastic work Jerry ! [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]

Thanks Stern!

That looks great Jerry, so the engine room is removable for maintenance ?

The engine and transmission are removable as a unit.
It is a long proven design. Jerry

Any thoughts Richard? Pro/con? seems to be a simple idea with some interest.
Perry

Thanks for the feedback and response to the PM mod.

I'm new to this forum and to RC tanking. I've always been into airplanes and need a new detailing/upgrading/weathering/realism challange and I think this is it!!! A build thread would be awsome, heck I'd settle for a new upgrades / new modifications thread so we can have all the info in one location with new websites that have "how to" photos. HL or Tamiya I dont care, all the photos help. I'll be starting off with a HL Tiger I. Here is a site that has been a great inspiration in getting me started hole this helps

Well I hope this help some other newbies like myself

Two last questions, first, This looks like an awsome forum with lots of information, but I cant read german, is there an english translator buttom or language pack I could use to gain access to this info http://www.rc-panzerketten-forum.com...p?threadid=773

second are there any rc tanker in the Columbus Ohio area???

here is the Hen Long english board http://www.rc-panzerketten-forum.com...hp?boardid=122

Awsome! Thank you pzrwest, thats just what I was looking for.

Totally "d'accord"

Absolutely. I know my NZ Bulldog build went 4 or 5 different ways - be good to get it all into one place.

I don't think it will happen. I e-mailed the mod to get his thoughts and got no response. Oh well.
Perry

A build forum is a great idea. I agree that many members builds that have posted get lost in the general forum.
A build forum would be very helpful in that it would be a valuable source of information. Builds show the successes and possibly some failures of what a person can or can not do. Might even save a few dollars by not repeating someone else's mistakes.
Remember people. Success comes on the heals of failure and a build forum would have many succusses.
