Me and my buddy decided to get some rc tanks. Went out to a nice rocky place down river, we both put cameras on our respective tanks, my buddy even brought his drone out. Had a total blast, actually amazed how stable some of the footage is. The tank is interesting, very high torque, without counter weigh it just takes off like a dragster if you pull the gas all the way. We stopped by the dollar store to get some action figures to put inside and all we could find were little wrestler dudes.

That was awesome, the dollar store figs really added the perfect touch of absurdity to it

New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights! The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.
Would just have hoped it'd been a tank like a Leclerc or Leopard but still no wonder that you've had a blast with that stuff!

I say that as someone who spent a couple years doing RC Cars.
yeah they're a bit underwhelming in wide shots, gotta get close.

WW2 tanks are like older cars: they used to have so distinctive shapes that each tank has a hell if a feel to it! Modern tanks are great too, but they ressemble each other to a much higher degree

its well and kicking, just suffering from the current global situation, aka production slowness.
still missing an "opponent" though, as no modern russian vehicle kits has been made yet, but seeing as they have done a few modern american and japanese vehicles, i guess it wont be many years until a T-series tank is released.

Got a new RC, 4x4, very beefy, apparently does up 36km/h, I don't have a speedometer to test that though but it does have the ability to limit the the throttle on the controller. Scary fast if I turn it up all the way. Just mananged to strap a camera to the front of it.
Managed to get the camera mounted to the hood. This thing is faaaaaaast! Various vin diesel quotes.

Another video, managed after a few attempts to get the camera on the new car. Took it out to the forest and local skate park. Fast as hell. The forest stuff might get a bit repetitive but if you fast forward along you can see it on the ramps/gravel.
