| | ===== ESC Setup ===== |
| | Most RC car ESCs implement a brake mode that prevents the speed control from changing direction immediately. This is fine for RC race-cars but will not work with tanks. If you have this type of ESC, you need to disable the brake or put it into "crawler" mode. Some very inexpensive Chinese speed controls will only have a single mode, so do not buy one that has a brake if it can not be disabled. |

| ==== Tamiya DMD ==== | ==== Tamiya DMD ==== |
| The DMD is included with Tamiya's RC tank kits and is basically a box with multiple brushed ESCs built in. There have been several versions over the years including the T-01, T-03 and T-08. Most include 4 brushed ESCs with an integrated "V-Tail" mixer for the tracked drive and two additional 3A outputs for elevation and rotation motors. It is controlled with standard RC signals like any other hobby speed controller. Because of its incredible expense there are many better options than buying one outright, but if you already have a DMD from a Tamiya kit you can use it with the TCB. | The DMD is included with Tamiya's RC tank kits and is basically a box with multiple brushed ESCs built in.

| The Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 brushed speed controller is ubiquitous on AliExpress, Banggood, eBay, Amazon and even HobbyKing sells a variant. It is rated to 60 amps peak at up to 3S lipo input voltage. It is quite cheap, usually in the range of $20 USD, although versions with a fan or those that are waterproof ("WP" version) go for more. Be sure to put them in "F/R" mode (forward reverse with no brake). | The Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 brushed speed controller is ubiquitous on AliExpress, Banggood, eBay, Amazon and even HobbyKing sells a variant.
