 Although in reality the electric motor(s) in your model can be energized at any time, and there is no "neutral" gear in the gearbox unit, the TCB creates an "engine" and "transmission" in software. Before the TCB will allow your model to move, the engine must be "started" and the transmission "engaged." In addition to adding realism, this arrangement has several other benefits as we shall see. Let's take this step-by-step.

 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 drive backwards rapidly but briefly when then cannon is fired.
