Default Taranis and Tanks?

Taranis veterans, I just ordered the X9D Plus Special Edition and would like to use it with a Heng Leng Abrams tank that will be running an IBU3 motherboard. That motherboard accepts PWM (pulse width modulation) inputs but not SBUS or IBUS. I purchased the FrSky X8R receiver to use with the X9D Plus because it supports PWM input (although, if another receiver is better for lowly ground vehicles, maybe someone can point out which receiver would be better). Since this is obviously not for an aircraft, can anyone walk me through the steps I need to follow to get the X8R bound to the Taranis TX and so that they both communicate with the tank. I do not think it will be that hard but this is my first RC vehicle ever

Also, I would like for the left stick to be self centering in both the X and Y axes. In order to do that, do I remove the holding screw from the metal arm inside the gimbal? (this model has the Hall Effect gimbals, so perhaps I need to do something different?)

Thanks for any help that you guys can provide!
