In principle, having a standard (and hopefully best) board for each tank would make sense, Ronnie. Just as having all the models on a single transmitter would save in batteries- and, more importantly: space.ronnie42 wrote:Roy Why not standardise and use the same board for all your tanks , clark ibu or elmod. Easier to fit as smaller than Tamiya and you can play for days getting the various settings spot on for each tank.
However, after years of trying radios and control boards out, I've still to decide which have the most to offer me.
The more developed MFUs (TK 60, Elmod, IBU etc..) have their own special features, and their own fervent fans/supporters. I've tried the Clark tk22 and TK 60, as well as the IBU2 Pro, but many would maintain that the Elmod is the ultimate controller to aim for. Then there's the cost factor... Re-equipping my five Tamiyas (Three built, and two unbuilt), would drain both my Kist (coffer)..and the blood from my face
At the same time, if I need to reduce the collection in future, I think that- well, at least with the Tamiya tanks-they will have more value if they're kitted out with original equipment. After all, not everyone is a customiser.
At the same time, I'm nae a spring chicken anymore, ( ) and have begun to consider what my heirs will do with this peculiar assortment of Armour that's taken over my spare bedroom, and sundry other places.
I'm also wondering whether it's possible to control a 1/16 tank via an RC-equipped ouija board from the Afterlife Hmmm...I'll have to get Rad working on that project.
That way, I can ask my kids to keep hold of my favourites
