Hello excuse me for the delay in responding. I've been a little busy. But first, thank you all for responding and for the tips. Second, I am Brazilian (my location on this map: http://www.rctankcombat.com/map/), and I want to help spread the hobby here in my region because I do not know anyone who practices. As for tanks,I know much about it. But to return to electronica, which is the control circuit that goes in the tank, I mean, you build or buy?
Thanks again. Ps: I do not want to be thick, if I sound like I'm being rude, sorry, (not on purpose) because I am improving my English.
