So how do you tell your remotes apart?
For those with a - shall we say - collection of HL / Torro / Taigen tanks, and each came with its own remote, how do you tell them apart? When your collection comes to having half a dozen vehicles each with their own remote and all remotes look alike, how do you tell which one belongs to which tank?

I use a label maker to put which tank the controller is for. Then a quick look at the back of the controller and I can tell. I bet there are way cooler ways though like flags

In torro/taige tank you can bind every tank to one remote and use only one remote for 100 tanks.

All of mine are stored away with their respective controllers, but some have a piece of torn off masking tape with the tanks name written on.

This is a cool idea!

Re: So how do you tell your remotes apart?
Yes, that'll take some beating!
I mark the transmitter with copies of the main country decal and tank number so they are easily paired. You can photocopy the 1/16 decals onto clear decal printing paper.

I only use aftermarket boards, so I have two very good radios, and I select the model in the screen. "Panzer IV" "Sherman" and so on.

I'm with Mick, a piece of masking tape with the name of the tank written on it.

Good evening,
I usually put a decal or piece of art on the back of the controller to help match them up.
