The DBC upgraded in Danville seemed to work

I requested a new chip and am going to try it. Once it gets here I can video the tank being hit, and we will see what happens. It will either improve it or it won't. Nothing like a real live test to end speculations.
I have a one-off 'extra-uprated' chip in my Panzer IVH (RX-14P, Asiatam gears), and it still isn't wonderful on grass. What I would really like to see is some sort of power boost for the HL boards, at the moment we are stuck between a $25 module that is just about ok to battle with, and a ~$100-$150 high end controller like the DMD and Thinktank.

Now hows this for an idea - servo splitter cables for the DBCRC2, that drive the RX board for sounds and turret functions, and a $70 aftermarket ESC like a sabretooth for the motors? Anyone try that before?
