Default RE: New Electronics?????

Clubs are free to do what they want to do. Once you start a universal standard, where does it end? Turret speeds, IR ranges, etc? Who should compromise? The TBU crowd, the ELMOD crowd, the DBC or SLU crowd? Should the Sherman fight on equal terms with the Panther? Does Playstation share the same standards as Nintendo? No.[8D]

And I don't see it as divisive, I see it as adding flexibility. RC Tankers now have more choices than ever.

Giving the SLU 45 degree defense is not hard. Phil has proven that when he made the apple covers for the DBUs (nice work btw, I own 2 of them). If there is a demand for the apple covers, I will do my best to provide it with the SLU system.

What I like about the SLU is that it will give a Heng Long user more on their initial investment. Our club is growing and the SLU makes it even easier for tankers to get more out of their hobby, especially if they want Tamiya compatible IR and better sound. The package is attractive to new tankers too. Growth is good.
