Tank Drive - TankZone Staff Day Out

Radio controlled model tanks are great fun. We found something even better. We were able to experience the real thing during a tank drive day recently. You have just got to hear the roar of the engines and the clunking of the tracks not to mention the cloud of dust it generates. The ultimate tanking experience. The only thing missing is the firing of the cannon and maybe driving over a car or two. This is just a selection of photos taken during the day to give you a feel what it's like.
