Im picking it will be a V5.4 as its a 2.4G with an 8 cable supply to a sub-board.
if the controller has 4 buttons on the lower right , its probably a late, if not, still a 2.4g but an early one .............
Got all that ??!!
Its a 2,4G board, and thats good enough for now. All that having a late V5.3 might give you is a 2-option sound set.
Tiger 1
Leo 2
The next versions(V6.0 onwards) allow 4 sound options and various light and servo controls.
The V7 versions only have 2 sound sets, but different pairs (tiger 1 & Leo2/T90 & abrams) that I know of.
As advised by Mr Jofaur, there are lots of guiding posts in the H/L electronics section that should enable clarity on just what you may or may not have.
Im off for a lie down & an asprin

Thank you for the reply and links
Yes the tx has the 4 buttons fight hand side
Got it in bits last night so I can start on adding the bearings and looks like it could do with a bit stiffening up inside the hull
Did the Idle wheels today at work just a drop of locktite on the bearings and fitting bolts has transformed them

to improve a KV, there are some metal parts here. sometimes more practical than modifying existing plastic, moreover he is a member of the forum, and good services and advice

What about asking the seller, worst is no answer, best case is new RX?

Hello, what happened? to toast the platinum? Connection error, or others? Look in the sales section, maybe someone will have a chance, or replace everything, see the site of a member of the forum, who will provide you with very good advice ,
