Good news.

This is kind of what I was talking about. A system can be unique as it wants and still be able to compatible at a basic common level . This SLU now has the same IR frequecy and has the ability to use a TBU. Great. It will be better accepted this way. I am pretty sure the same can be said of th El mod System. I haven't taken the time to identify the EL Mod pins, but it no doubt has the five critical pinouts to use with a TBU as well. It must have.

We don't need much in standardization, and I appreciate you went back to the manufacturer with this. With a little effort, we can maybe get to a place where multiple brands of battle systems can all function at the same basic level when they get together, with the exclusion of no one . They can all be unique and showcase new features, as long as the have a default back to a basic standard. I believe that basic standard is the Tamiya IR frequency, and the pinout arrangement for the IR sensor. If every manufacturer paid heed to this and designed their system with these two basics in mind, the hobby and the hobbyists would be well served.

Thanks Tim
