A Pi alone without peripheral components will not do much that a model tank requires, so a separate board is still necessary. However I am looking forward to see what you create. If any of the firmware from the Open Panzer project will be useful to you I hope you will feel free to use it!

Shad - the XCar ESCs are still showing out of stock for me but perhaps they are in stock at other warehouses which are not visible to my account, I hope so.
