My transmitter is listed on the list of ones it should work with. Yes I plugged the cable in and turned on the trans as per the instructions. It says "connecting" but never connects.


I am sure the manufacturer (Clark and/or IBU) will or any of their distributor. But, I strongly suggest you learn and become somewhat familiar with it. Also, where are you> - any RC Tank clubs in your area? Nearest club is in MD or VA I think. Nothing within a two and a half hour drive for me.


I think they are about even - my opinion anyway....


The IBU is sold thru RC Tank Electronics out of the UK, so I guess you are looking for a US, Clark distributor then...... Ok; if Clark is the US source; which distributor should I use?


I believe your stock, taigen board is a Clark KT22, on a 4 or 6 channel controller. Maybe you should investigate upgrading to using a Clark KT60 on an 8 channel controller? You may like that setup and feature better? Of course, the IBU3 on as many channels is nice too. Or, if your not in a hurry, you could investigate OpenPanzer (maybe not if you don't like fooling around with the electronics...) I must confess that the control method I like the best is still TAMIYA's - if they sold a DMD/MF combo that you could download and assign sounds to....well, this discussion would be over....for A LOT of folks! I would have the Tamiya if they were available.
Thank you for the information/feedback!
