Well that's a kick in the pants, must have mis-understood something at some point. Tonight I will just try to hook it up for 6 channel running through my radio setup and see what it does. Now I just need to confirm if I can program the "personalization" options through this PRO programmer or if I need to drop MORE money and get the IR programmer. Biggest thing will be switching it to air-soft mode. If I feel the need for 8 channel control I can always sent it out, just don't feel like doing that at this point and spending more money then I already have.

Now HL finally got smart and just put the 2.4 Ghz in all their tanks from the factory, and confined the RX18 to the dumpsters of mainland China where they belonged in the first place. They probably got tired of all the returns of their products from disattisfied customers, times ten thousand. Unless you just have an older tank why use Clark board? The HL components are dirt cheap, available everywhere and work to perfection, they even offer two kinds of sounds now, although that may not be enough for the scale enthusiast.
Bit of a back story is in order. Bought my King Tiger in the summer of 2013 before I started my senior year of college. Messed around with it a bit and even went to a small tank meet that October. Over the course of the next few months I messed around with the tank but grew tired of the old RX18 with the basic controls, old crystal radio setup, and some weird operation (i.e. track recoil). Plus life got busy Basically the tank got put away and I never did much with it. Then in 2015 I looked at different control boards and decided to go with a BARC board but never went through with it. Now fast forward to spring 2017 and I decided I wanted to get a BARC board, then found out he wasn't selling them anymore. Then through research I decided to get a Clark board, I liked the options of sounds, options, etc. for the cost. Granted I got busy with other RC projects and now just getting around to working on it.
