Fantastic. Thanks so much for the help. I'll report back with a status update once I've tried ELRS. Is there any specific data that would be helpful for me to capture for the Receiver Selection Guide of the Wiki?

Thank you for the detailed response. I'd like to see if I can get ELRS working. If I'm understanding correctly, here are the configurations for my use case:

A PWM receiver (RadioMaster ER3C-i) + speed controllers: I could drive the tank, but the receiver would not be able to control anything other than the drive motors.
An SBus receiver (RadioMaster RP3-H) + TCB + speed controllers: All tank functions would be controlled by the TCB via SBus from the receiver.
A PWM + SBus receiver (RadioMaster ER8) + TCB + speed controllers: A hybrid approach. I could control the motors via the TCB or directly on the receiver. This would be determined by whether the speed controllers were plugged into the receiver or the TCB. PWM compatible devices could be plugged directly into the receiver and everything else would be controlled by the TCB. I would handle channel deconfliction by remapping channels on the receiver as needed.

I'm working on a project to control a 1:16 Heng Long tank with a PWM RC receiver. The goal is to operate the tank FPV from a rudimentary tank cockpit. My preference is to give the tank Bobcat style stick controls, such that centering both sticks would be stopped, both forward would be straight forward, both back would be straight back, and steering would be accomplished by pushing or pulling one of the sticks farther than the other. To do this, I think I'd have to assign one motor to channel 1 and the other to channel 2 (or something along those lines). Is this steering scheme possible with Open Panzer?
