Hello and welcome from Argyll and Bute. Depending on the type of board inside, I may have a TX. We need some photos of the inside and MFU.

:thumbup: Like my fellow members, I need photos to learn more. When you say the "Combined" is missing, I think you're referring to the radio? But are there any electrical components already? Such as motors for the tracks, turret rotation, etc.? As for brands: Heng Long, Taigen, Torro, etc. It's strange that it's empty.

Hello from across the puddle. I agree: photos will help us get you up and running. However, be forewarned: we love to promote addiction to these thing. :D

Welcome to the forum Russ, from New York.

TX for Heng Long are dime dozen. As Meter Rat mentioned you'd just need to share a picture of the control board it has and it will be easy to guide you in the right direction. You could even take a picture inside the battery box on the bottom as it many have a sticker indicating what MFU as Heng Long calls them it has. But the sure bet is opening it up and snapping a clear picture of the internal electronics that everything is plugged into.

:) Based on the title, it would seem to be Heng Long? Even though it's been owned for 5 years without a radio, it might be a used one (27 MHz) or 2.4 GHz? But without photos, it's difficult to determine, if indeed it has the internal electronics.
