what's a decent radio and reciever for that tank with the TBU.

Thanks.

I was looking at something like this.

Thats the one I use on my Tamiya Leopard 2A6 and it works a treat. I dont have the TBU though but dont see why that would make any difference.

well thank you for the feedback mate!!! I greatly appreciate it. I'm now thinking of getting a Tamiya Sherman. This hobby is very addicting!!!

It's a fine radio to use, but if you are to use it for just one tank, the Futaba 4YF-FM is what I use and might be a little cheaper. This link said it's for 'park flyer use', so make sure you get a ground frequency.

HTH

Soulfly3,

I'd take a very close look at that radio before you purchase it. It appears to be a 72mhz setup on channel 38 (72.550mhz), which in the U.S. is for "air use" only. You'll need a surface frequency radio to go with such as a 27mhz, 50mhz, 75 mhz, or a 2.4ghz radio. 75mhz or 2.4ghz is what most use. Here's a handy chart to sort out frequencies and channels [link]http://www.easyrc.com/radiosystems/radiosystems5.html[/link]

I just noticed on the receiver too 72mhz.

Sorry if I sound like such nooblet!! From years of running cars, I never had the need for a 4 channel radio.

Thanks for the help.

Good luck with your Sherman

Once you get your tank up and running, don't forget to come check us out! Our club run tank battles with Tamiya and other tanks. We are probably within about 30 minutes from your location.

If you get a chance, we are trying to do some demos at RCX at the Fairplex on April 19th & 20th.
