..That would be hundreds of capabilities fewer (not less), Rad. Now you have me wondering what this board is actually missing.Rad_Schuhart wrote:It has hundreds of capabilities less than the ASP243rdRecceReg wrote:Hmmm.. Indeed. I see that it is compatible with: Tamiya's recoil system; HL Flash plus recoil; Asiatam (now Taigen) flash and recoil; Airsoft recoil (? not clear on that) and many more of the traditional options. All in all, it probably has much the same capabilities as the hard to obtain Asp 2. For some reason, this unit has remained below the radar where controller options are concerned..
Thanks for drawing our attention to it..
Here's the guide to the Asp2:
http://rctanksaustralia.com/guides/index.php?title=Asp2
and here's a quick translation fo the Tank Control 3's attributes. For speed, I used Google Translate ( for 'Pipe' read: 'Barrel' etc..) rather than do it myself. It seems to me, the board can do allthe key things that IBU2, TK60, and ASP 2 do. So, what are the extra 'hundreds' of operations connected with, I wonder? More than that, do they really matter?.
More importantly, every time I've looked at rctanksaustralia.com with a view to buying Asp, it's either 'sold out', or otherwise unobtainable. That appears to be its default status. Capable, it undoubtedly is, but if it can't be bought
it can't be used.

DESCRIPTIONETTECHNICAL DATA DELIVERY
TankControlV3 is a powerful module for the control of model vehicles in the scale 1:35 to 1:10. It combines ride, light, tower and sound control on one board.
The newly developed module uses an even more powerful microcontroller, resulting in Simultaneous playback of up to 5 sounds is possible. Also, the amplifier is already integrated on the board.
To make commissioning even easier, all connections are compatible with the RX18. All you need is a 6-channel remote control with the corresponding model receiver.
Connection options:
two drive motors
Tower turning motor (can also be used as a winch drive)
Sideways the cannon via a servo (for example for tank destroyers)
Raise / lower the cannon simultaneously via motor and servo
Asiatam flash module and pipe retraction unit
Tamiya pipe return unit
Heng Long BB Gun or Heng Long pipe retraction unit
Heng Long smoke module
seven switching outputs for light control (stance, flashing, braking, reversing, MG and gun flash light) with already integrated series resistors
Steering servo for operation as a wheeled vehicle or half-chain
two external speed controllers
Speaker and volume control
MicroSD memory card for configuration and sound files
USB port
Via the PC software (available free of charge on the homepage) various configuration settings can be made:
optional operation as a tank, half-chain or wheeled vehicle
Driving dynamics including inertia simulation
Turn on the spot (spin turn) de- / activated
Type of withdrawal or shot device
Asiatam / Tamiya / servo
Heng Long BB Gun
Heng Long RRZ
For all servo function: final and middle position, as well as movement speed
Normal and return position of the pipe retraction (servo)
Waiting time of the cannon until the next firing
Configuration and selection of vehicle sounds
voltage monitoring
Control of the received signals
automatic online update of the firmware
alternative control of unused assemblies (motor drivers, servos and light outputs)..."
