Come on, (I think it's Steve?), I wouldn't get rid of that! I have both and can switch back and forth!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-H_hqIVYbQ I have an old 1/24 Abrams that has the two separate boards like you have, if you're interested. If there's any interest at all I'll snap a photo so we can see if it might work for you (it might not, since this has the pistol grip TX, but maybe it can work with an HL TX/RX), but my Bulldog has a TK22 I got from Nathan at RC Tanks of OKC and it was less than a hundred bucks delivered. Pair that with the $25 T6 TX and I think it's a great, low cost hobby grade tank.
