Ok. I think my friend have cable. Benedini was out of stock when I order but he said that board would configured for OP. This is new V2 version, maybe that is why have some problems. Thank you.

Hi I too am new to discovering the features the OP TCB offered.

I have a very large RC collection and this was a perfect solution to me. I like real tanks sounds so on the HL/Torro/Mato tanks that I own I gut the electronics and put in my own solutions. Read that as an OP TCB set up with a sound solution (Benedini or other)

Luckily for me as Kiwi, Hobby King has an Australian warehouse and had plenty of the TCB's in stock and I bought 2. When it was announced about the discontinuance I purchased all the remaining stock on offer (22 x boards) They will all be going into my models (Tanks, Boats, Trucks and even warships) www.taskforcekiwi.com

Wanted to thank Luke and others involved in this project for making this available to the community.

PS even wrote to Hobby King to advise them of their short sightedness :/
When I buy a board I buy other stuff at the same time etc....

Cheers
Snipah

Welcome Snipah, and thanks for being such an enthusiast! Let us know how you get on, there is a Show and Tell section in the OP Forum if you ever want to highlight one of your many models.

Snipah has hit the nail on the head, HK could sell the TCB, esc's, and a sound board as a package, and they would sell batteries and tx's, and rx's on the back of that.

You got it, its like "would you like fries with that?"
Plus they need to be inundated with enquiry and lost sales :-)

Got the last one in the UK warehouse in January and managed to get two from the AU warehouse before Snipah cleaned them out too!

I left a review asking for new stock on Hobbyking and also have it on my wish list...

Hope that other retailers move forward with the project too.

3 boards? Crikey!
Is that the 3D printed tank? Awesome project by Dean if it is the one I was thinking of?

Yes it’s Deans T35-A, I printed it in 1/16

I’m now well underway printing one at 1/6

There will be 3 boards in the big one to control the 3 main turrets with recoil etc
