It is possible with many of the non Tamiya based IR systems out there Jeff. We just don't allow tanks to turn sounds on and off to, keep things fair. Some tankers forget to turn up their volume when coming to an event and need reminding. Almost all of us turn the volume down when we work on them at home or else we'll go deaf.
