Default How do you guys mark your controllers

Hey y'all. I'm looking for some creative ideas on how to keep controllers with their tank. Has anyone come up with a marking system or a design to keep controllers straight as to which tank it goes with?


Thanks! I'd love to see some pictures.

I'm a cheap old Buzzard so I just use a piece of masking tape with the number of the tank written on it.

I'm finishing up tanks for my godsons so I'll have to do something a little flashier. I'll come up with something.

Thanks,

Copy the paint scheme of the tank onto the controller? (Or are both tanks painted the same?)

Yup I was going to do that (paint to match the tank) but I use a different radio for each tank (different in make and model) and so far my memory hasn't failed me in remembering which radio for which tank. But it has failed me in many other things!

I love that idea, I'll have to paint a section of each controller to match. Any suggestions on a clear cote, or will my standard work? Sweats hands and such.

I paint where my hands won't be, I have 2 T-90s and painted both controllers with matching tank numbers and red stars on them
