-This delay is the length of time from when the engine is first started to when the TCB automatically engages the transmission as a convenience to the user. This delay should be at least as long as your engine startup sound clip, to prevent the vehicle from moving while the startup sound is still playing. Setting is in seconds.+This delay is the length of time from when the engine is first started to when the TCB automatically engages the transmission as a convenience to the user. This delay should be at least as long as your engine startup sound clip, to prevent the vehicle from moving while the startup sound is still playing. Setting is in seconds. **Note:** this setting also determines the length of time the **Flicker Lights during Engine Start** effect will last, if that is checked on the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:lightsio#light_effects|Lights & IO]] tab.

-Track recoil will cause the vehicle to drive backwards rapidly but briefly when then cannon is fired. This feature is standard on Heng Long and Taigen tanks, but most find it undesirable for scale reasons. Here you can enable or disable it as you please. Note: the Open Panzer implementation of track recoil is only active when the vehicle is stopped - even if enabled, it will not function if the cannon is fired while the vehicle is moving. Also keep in mind, that although several adjustments are provided the effect will be influenced significantly by your specific gearbox and motor combination. In general, the very high gear ratios used in model tanks do not permit for a very realistic reaction.+Track recoil will cause the vehicle to move backwards briefly when then cannon is fired.

-The track recoil effect starts the vehicle moving backwards at the **Kickback Speed** but then quickly decelerates to a stop. The **Deceleration Factor** adjusts the exponential deceleration rate. Starting at a value of 1 the kickback would last approximately 1/2 second, up to a value of 100 that would create a kickback of approximately 6 seconds. +The duration of the track recoil effect in milliseconds (ms). Maximum is 250 mS which equates to 1/4 of a second.

 +You can use the onboard Red and Green LEDs to verify that your board is responding properly to your radio. While driving, the Green LED indicates forward movement, the Red reverse movement, and both on at once indicate braking. The LEDs are off when stopped. When performing neutral turns, the Green LED blinks during turns to the right and the Red LED blinks during neutral turns to the left (if neutral turns are enabled). When not driving, a solid Red LED indicates the TCB is not in normal operation mode: either because it is still booting up, or because the user has entered a [[wiki:tcb:operation:specmenus|Special Menu]], or because it is paused in order to communicate with a PC. In Special Menus the Red LED will remain solid and the Green LED may blink to indicate certain information or steps. When communicating with the PC, the Red LED will remain solid and the Green LED will blink slowly.
