I've been playing more in the world of 1/16 scale since its more common here in Texas. As far as an R/C interface goes I've been playing with an open source board from Open Panzer called the TCB. It interfaces with external ESCs and can use SBUS or PWM inputs. I recently bought a Taranis Q X7 SBUS radio to play with it. Only issue using it on a large tank would be input power needs to be under 15V. A small 7.2 NiCD pack works great since that's what it was designed for. Boards are being sold through HobbyKing for $50.
