You can also do a lighting version that allows modern tank owners to add brake lights, turn signals and hazard light patterns to their tank, like this product below:

The only problem/consideration is that this board has to be really compact because of the cramped conditions inside most tanks.
There is no new board to develop. The Benedini and BARC in their current configuration can be used. The Benedini has the ability to control brake lights and signal lights. Also volume control from your transmitter has always been available, but it is something I only uncovered recently when I added more control features on the BARC4.
Also Jeff with any of the programmable cards the reload sound is something you can delete if it doesn't suite you. What sounds are played are totally in your control. I quit adding the reload. I also doubt you could hear a light switch being turned on and off from outside the tank, so I don't have a sound played when the lights are turned on either.
