Well my dear sir,
Zeus looks more than competent at dodging the armoured assaults you undoubtedly subject him to.
Mine chase the tank and run away as soon as it moves and cannot understand where the fly specks come from.

I have found that the confusion around radios seems to be one of the biggest issues in all areas of the RC hobby, not just tanks.
Since I put my hand up I have begun to realise what a can of worms I’ve spilled in my lap.
The multi protocol module is most definitely not the solution but is an incredible tool for us old farts to solve everyone else’s problems.
To quote Steve Jobs at the unveiling if the original iMac
“I love standards, there are just so many of them” “Here’s USB”…
And history was written.
I think a basic how to on a standard computer controlled handset and some basic what is wheretofores of binding and even just assigning channels and endpoints seem to be a challenge that needs to be addressed.
You are respected in this community and as such I think your endorsement carries weight.
But to endorse is become responsible. Not where I’d like to be.
I see a good 10ch handset with solid firmware and easy availability of PPM,iBus & sBus receivers.
Then the users can write a good model profile export and anyone coming in has a configured setup.
The issue is very few people can even understand the concept of a PC/handset interface and this I see a first step not only for tankers but entry level fliers as well.
I have been looking at some of the Tank controller units and I am so blown away by OpenPanzer that I bought 2 and some ESC's of several varieties and just cannot seem to find the money for an appropriate sound unit. Making things work is one thing but I have a 24Ch recording and edit suite so when it comes down to it I’d rather buy a new microphone.
I’m thinking of throwing a hundred or so at OP though, if it will help getting his daughter boards to market.

I won’t even go to the battery conversation.
The world has moved us all to LiPos and we’ll just work with it.
If you’d like to buy some 27mhz radios to go with your Nickel cells then I’ve got a selection of hardly used units.

I am so sorry but I just cannot fix stupid.
