Multi-function electronic device-enabled transmit controller

A transmit controller capable of automatic configuration, the transmit controller comprising:

• a memory comprising one or more operational parameters effecting a control instruction for controlling movement;
• a control user interface for remotely controlling movement of a model vehicle;
• an auxiliary user interface connector for connecting to an auxiliary user interface device, the auxiliary user interface device comprising a processor to automatically configure the transmit controller;
• a transmit controller processor comprising a configuration to:
• receive a vehicle identifier from a model vehicle receiver;
• transmit the vehicle identifier to the auxiliary user interface device;
• receive one or more operational parameter settings from the auxiliary user interface device in response to the transmission of the vehicle identifier;
• change the one or more operational parameters to the one or more operational parameter settings;
• receive the control instruction from the control user interface;
• determine an output signal based on the control instruction and the changed one or more operational parameters;
• and
• transmit the output signal remotely to the model vehicle to thereby control the movement of the model vehicle.
