D.A.K. is a Phoenix, Arizona club built around radio-controlled armor.
We center on 1/16 scale Tamiya Battle System–compatible tanks and AFVs, and we
also work with VS Tank, Taigen, MATO and Heng Long Infra Red battle system tanks, so
members learn how different drive, gearbox and battle-system designs work. Our
projects cross 3D printing, electronics, scale modeling, painting and historical
research.
The desert motif is used because… we live in a desert.
Our seasoned membership operates alongside other clubs, and we share our methods,
tech and artistic knowledge on internet forums and in hobby magazines. Taigen
Panthers and Shermans, 3D-printed projects and creative conversions keep making an
impact on our field.
