Big announcement! I'm running a second SoCal RC Tank Club anime/fictioned themed tank battle meet event 12/6/26! My club and the visitors in June really enjoyed how it went the first time being so different than our usual atmosphere. So by their demand, they wanted me to put together another one and make this a bi-annual event! I am happy to invite you all to my club's second fiction+anime themed RC tank battle on December 6th in Huntington Beach, CA. I kind of want to give it a soft convention vibe where fans can meet and discuss all the games and media we geek out over on the topic of tanks.

If you want to battle: All RC tanks equipped for IR battles are welcome, regardless of genre, history, or theme or lack of theme. You can bring your usual tanks if you already come. All are welcome! The theme is just there for those who want to participate. IR system must have LegoDEI V2 or V4 receivers. IR emitters should be tuned to eliminate the "shotgun" pattern (-9mm IR bulb back spacing).

I'll be happy to answer questions but I'll post more details and updates via my instagram @ socalrctankclub and @ rc.senshado . And you can seek out my club on FB as well.

My GuP themed 1/16 RC tanks from my club's July 5th meet (SoCal RC Tank Club). These are all my St. Gloriana tanks.

In case you're wondering: Those funny devices at the top of the tank are for the IR battle systems (RC tank laser tag)

Hey gang, just wanted to share some battle pics from SoCal RC Tank Club's meet on July 5th. Good turnout though a good chunk of our crew was out cheering their team on for the World Cup at the same day

I was pleasantly surprised to see how many people came out for our meet. Our group of GuP fans is a subgroup within my club (SoCal RC Tank Club) and I had often daydreamed about making a fun Senshado themed gathering since I started the hobby a few years back. Now with the urging of my friends in the group, we made it a reality and you all really showed up! It was going to be a challenge and I expected a modest turnout because most of my crew and support team were MIA on Saturday, due to scheduling conflicts and life issues. I myself had a hell of a week or two leading up to it and I was near my breaking point. But we did our thing, the hardcore younger members of our club really stepped up. My heart is very full right now. We even had a visitor who was an exchange student from Switzerland spend his last days in the USA with us and his buddies from Anaheim (sorry I'm so bad at names it takes me a few meets before it gets etched in). We showed off our little fan collections, our tank builds, discussed the show of course, had a little picnic, and battled in non-serious fast-paced game modes. I lent out my Crusader and Matilda to visitors and together we repped St. Gloriana. Last minute changes forced me to shelf my KMM tanks but I'm motivated to do another one of these in the future.

I'll post more on IG (@socalrctankclub and @rc.senshado) our discord throughout the week, I don't want to monopolize the subreddit with big photodumps. But thank you for your love and support r/GIRLSundPANZER and r/rctanks

Hi fellow RC tankers! If you're in Southern California, my group is doing back to back meets this weekend. Both are welcome to anyone running a compatible tank per our rules, or if you're not sure yet, come check us out and ask us all the questions you have to learn more about the hobby and what you need to join us in the future! We're an open club! RC tank battles = RC tank laser tag

Location for both days is the Lake Huntington Dog Park. Google doesn't give the same directions so all you need to know is we are on the Southwest side of Huntington Beach Central Park. Cross streets are Inlet Dr. and Edwards. (I often use 6570 Lakeview Huntington Beach, CA 92648 as a reference to get people close to the right parking lot)

- Saturday 9am-3pm - will be a Girls und Panzer/anime/fiction themed event by our members who like to theme our RC tanks for GuP and other fictional games/movies/shows. Themed stuff is encouraged but not required, you can join us like any other meet. A lot of us will be bringing our custom projects and having our own little con within our RC tank event.

- Sunday 9am-3pm - will be our regular meet with more of our members, due to many missing out on Saturday. We decided to try something crazy and do double events for the first time.

Even if you don't battle but are curious, I encourage you to come visit and hang out with us! Any questions, shoot me a DM here, IG (@socalrctankclub), join our FB SoCal RC Tank Club etc. Thanks all for your kind words and support!

This is just for fun***
PICK 3!

As some of you know, I'll be doing a Senshado themed RC tank meet here in Southern California in a few weeks (6/20/26) and it's an excuse to show off some of my builds. I only have so much space in the car to take my tanks in addition to field props, so I want to know what 3 tanks (of the ones I have shown here) should I bring? Feel free to comment on what you'd want to see (even if you can't come)

Feel free to follow me on IG "rc.senshado" and "socalrctankclub" if you wanna find out more. Cheers!

Greetings everyone! Just wanted to announce an upcoming gathering we're having of our SoCal RC Tank Club if you're interested in IR battling or just hanging out and talking about the hobby! All are welcome. We'll be at Tony Lam Park in Westminster, CA 5/31/26 (a Sunday). Bring your friends! If you're on the fence about joining, bring your tank and your questions anyway! We love to help! We're up to about 2 meets a month now but I don't want to spam it every time here so if you want to be more up to date, we're on IG (@ socalrctankclub), FB (SOCAL RC Tank Club). I also maintain a discord for my fellow RC tank and tank anime enjoyers (https://discord.gg/bqCKBR7N2r) which holds a subsection for the SoCal RC Tank group as well.

Some pics of our last RC tank battle in Huntington Beach from 5/17: we got some new cultured members into the mix and these are some of the highlights. I hope we get more RC Senshado participants as well as Senshado spectators at our future events and make an entire anime subdivision within my club (SoCal RC Tank).

So a few of us in Socal RC Tank Club wanted to do a themed gathering for our club's monthly battle. It would be great if people who were fans of the show attended and hung out or even joined us if they have IR battle ready tanks. Even if you don't play, it's good to meet and celebrate the love of our favorite show together. We're thinking Saturday June 20th, 2026. Location will be in Huntington Beach. Basically our first RC Senshado Festival. Mark your calendars!

THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT OR PAID ENDORSEMENT****
A company called Ironquad who makes really nice FPV cameras is about to release their new YoHD Micro FPV system and I was sent a unit to evaluate. I had did an interview with them in our social media channels before and their reps were actually getting into RC tanks (or maybe I convinced them, who knows). The system itself is for ground vehicles that will include a 1080p wifi camera and goggle system for a street price of $250. Again, this really isn't intended to be an advertisement nor am I being given anything to do so or paid by them but I am excited to share it. On a personal note, my goal in the RC tank space besides making a bigger and better club is to attract cool products and innovations to our space because we're so niche and I think this is a big step in that direction. Anyway, look these guys up if you're looking for some nice camera setups to add to your RC vehicles.

We'll be playing with it over at my RC tank club (@socalrctankclub). Having tried Ironquad's flagship product when he interviewed me about our club, I was super looking forward to this and now it's finally here. My independent and objective take on this item is that it's a great system for the money. The camera is lightweight, is versatile in that you can power it off a 2s or 3s lithium battery (I use the same packs I use for my smaller tanks). The FOV is fixed forward however there is about a 10 degree angle of adjustment you can manipulate which turned out to be pretty handy for my tank. The goggles are a fixed setup so there's no fine tuning, but works and connects the moment you power it. The goggles can run off of a 2s-6s lithium battery. Footage is displayed real-time with sound and you can also record if you add a micro SD card (sold separately). I will have footage as soon as I get my card in the mail. I'd say the limit might be heat, so cool it between sessions and you should be okay. Goggles are fixed though so no adjustments are possible. Video recording is 1080 @ 60 frames and 720 at 100 frames IIRC. If you need it to be on a gimbal or adjustable goggles however, this is where you should be looking at the higher end option.

Oh and this is the interview I did with him for his channel using the gimballed camera on my RC tanks:
