I agree. I recently picked up a Tamiya Panzer IV and it's a great kit but I was disappointed by the electronics. They are solid and easy to install/run but when compared to the El Mod I have in my Tiger it lacks a lot of the features that most of the new alternatives offer. The standard for RC tank electronics has moved up in in the last couple of years and Tamiya has been left behind.
