one other good thing about using the controller to do it,
the ESC will be on there own channel and I will still be able to adjust there, sub trim, trim, DR and EXPO, indervidialy
the v tail mixer also only needs a 2ch radio...but I have to agree your radio is likely a better option due to the ability to fine tune the mixing. An external Vtail mixer just has 1 predetermined mix. Airplane radios with built in mixing are adjustable but Id rather use a pistol radio than a 2 stick for the tracked beast.
Im going to follow and see what you come up with. I love the idea of a tracked RC, but I want one with good capabilities. The few tanks I have tried and the kyosho blizzard but neither really seems built for actually offroad use. The blizzard lacks any incline on the front of the track, has no ground clearance and the weight balance is all wrong (and they are not cheap) Not sure how far you are going to go with this build, but will still be interested to see what you come up with.
maybe someday I will hack my GT3c. Even without the hack, it is a dang good radio for $60. Possibly my favorite radio.
