Default Best Radio control system for my Tamiya Tiger

Might want to consider something a little higher end if you can. For just the transmitter the 9C can be had for around $260 at multiple vendors. What this will give you is the ability to do all sorts of neat things with your tiger. This will not only give you the 4 basic functions, but room to grow. Also, you will be able to setup some custom mixes which would allow you to mix your treads to ONE STICK and the mixes take care of which track goes forward, reverse or slower and faster (you get the point). This way you could have the other stick for the gun/turret and it would be easier to 'track' targets. Also, with the other channels you could set up quite a bit of scale features. Just food for thought since this radio really is the best bang for the buck right now. Ohh yeah, it also comes in 75mhz as well and although Futaba mentions "battle bots" as an example of what the 9c is good for, I'm not sure if there are special mixes for the 75mhz or if it's the standard acro/heli/glid setup. Would be nice if there was already a tracked vehicle mix built in to the 75mhz version.
