TH24 board, what is a compatible transmitter

Post by davepriddy14 »

I have a new TK24 board and I was trying to find a compatible transmitter for it. If, I remember right, it is 2.4 ghz. Any Help or information would be greatly appreciated.

Every Transmitter/Reciever with 4 Channel is possible:

:) exact, the ideal being a TX with at least 6 channels, on the other hand, and unless I'm mistaken? for certain functions, you will need to manipulate the 2 handles in a specific direction, see figure on the Clark link attached, parts in red!!! unless using a “Bus” system

4 Channels, sir. And it is possible to assign switches to control all the functions in the non s-bus boards if you have a programmable radio, like I did here:

If not, be ready to play mortal kombat with the sticks. Said that, I did not like the board.

Anyway, best tip I can give is what I repeated one million times: Get a programmable radio.

:'( Hello Rad, what did I mean? it's only 6 channels, or more would be better. Otherwise I admit that I never used the auxiliary switches on my first radio, nor the clark card for that matter.
Good week end :thumbup:

Hi, 4 channels are needed for that clark board, and 4 channels are used in that video.

Said that, the more channels in the radio, the better, so you can add more functions.

If the TK24 is SBus, it doesn't matter how many channels are on the RX. The TK24 can be either SBus or traditional channel based. We would need to know which version he has.

:) Hello and thank you, for the information, personally I had this type of card on a Panther, and I found it complicated to make it work with the action on both sleeves? I had never thought of using switches? :wtf:
Have a nice week end

That is why I keep insisting of programmable radios, you can asign any switch of your choice to any function you want, in every tank electronics. In that Centurion which does not belong to me, I did it, and I also eliminated the possibility of triggering the functions with the sticks.

The most complicated part was to deal with the elevation and rotation, which both share the same channel, but it is doable.

:) I agree with Rad, but now with a great Radio, I can do certain things, but for others it's more complicated? to my great despair, :headbang: why I admire your knowledge and work, but that's how it is, and too old for a new brain :haha:
