I purchased a Taranis X9D, ok somewhat more expensive but I can use it for every tank. I can use it up to 50 models. I fly even a video camera with it.

So basically when you have more tanks, cars etc, it might be useful te consider a-one-for-all transmitter.......

Camo patches are a great idea.

I do this too but I've ended up with more than 5 high end trannies. Its fine to run multiple models from the same transmitter but l like to run more than one model at a time and you still need to remember where you stored it. I know you can type in meaningful names but you either have to scan though a dozen or so in the list and, if you buy another trannie to to spread the load, which one did you assign a particular model to??

There's something to be said for retaining the supplied radio gear so long as it does the job well!
