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.

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.

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.
