Guys, I don't want a war here. We are above the petty stuff. I am appreciative that whiteknight shared his experience with the unit, and perhaps there is a way to make it function like the Tamiya unit does. This is why I am aasking these questions before I buy it. I will attempt to use mine with the RDS8000 radio, and I know this may be a problem. We shall see about it. I was checking out the website and I am also wondering about the stick movements mentioned on the page. It seems that you do not simply move the stick up to move the barrel, but partially up and then to the side. This seems odd to me, as all the other units are simple stick controls. Maybe I am reading this wrong? In any case, keep the info and experiences coming guys. I am one who likes to learn as much as I can about a product...and then jump in and buy a bunch of them LOL
