| 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.

| Because the DMD performs the mixing function for both tracks the TCB needs to know not to add its own mixing. On the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:motors|Motors tab]] of OP Config you want to select **Tank (Tamiya DMD)** for the **Vehicle Type**. The **Drive Motor** will then automatically be set to RC Output and the TCB's internal mixing turned off. Connect the DMD Rudder cable to TCB RC Output 1 and the DMD Throttle cable to TCB RC Output 2. But because the DMD has a built-in BEC remember to remove the center wire from the servo plugs first! | |

| You can also use the other two channels on the DMD for turret motors although the TCB has built-in turret motor controllers so they are not really necessary. | You can also use the other two channels on the DMD for turret motors although the TCB has built-in turret motor controllers so they are not really necessary. |
