I come from Viet Nam, which dont has much store, online store, almost transmitter I found was second-hand from online market

Plus: Warship and tank game seem to be attractive to me, but I dont have much space for enjoying ship, and tank is more affordable. Having no tank at present even non RC and I am plan to make more, from self designed to WW2 tank

Thank bro, In Viet Nam, people who have this hobby likely prefer car, copter, aeroplane to tank. So it a really hard challenge for me, my father doesnt know much, so I do it my self.

And my question is: what is channel( I think it control one motor, reverse DC);

A 'channel' is basically an axis of operation. If a remote has two sticks that can each move in two direction (left-right, up-down) that's 4 channels right there. Remotes with more channels often have additional buttons for controlling things.

You can get special throttle / steering mini processors that plug into ch 1 & 2 sockets on your receiver and your two motor ESCs which allows you to drive on one stick but the cheapest solution may be to use a HengLong transmitter and receiver multi function unit as that will allow you to control all your tank's functions plus provide sound - you'll need a small speaker for that. Go onto e-bay and shop around for a bargain. Ver3 or ver5.3 will do the job. A set of cables would be useful too.
