New Tank bloke

[AndyjcClod]

Hi Everyone

I have just purchased my first ever R\C tank. I have wanted one for years but could never justify the cost.

I was lucky enough to grab myself a bargain on the tank and most of its electronics but no controller or receiver and I was wondering how many channels do I need on a receiver for a tank?

Its the Tamiya M26 Pershing that I have been lucky enough to get myself.

I fly drones and planes so I do have a Futaba TJ8 which I am guessing may be suitable?

Was it the one on eBay in Eastbourne?

You'll need a 4 channel radio and matching receiver.

Welcome to tank madness

Where are you based?

[AndyjcClod]

Yep thats the one

I am based in Sutton Coldfield.

I have been watching tanks on ebay for soooo long but always got outbid, this time I actually won for once

I had been bidding on it but found something else so stopped!

Was that the full option one that sold for under £200. You jammy sod, well done sir! 👌
