Claim:
1. A method for configuring a command for a radio control receiver for a remotely-controlled vehicle comprising: storing a plurality of identifiers in a radio control transmit controller, each identifier comprising an identifier of a radio control receiver of a remotely-controlled vehicle; storing a plurality of configuration profiles in the radio control transmit controller, with at least one stored configuration profile associated with an identifier in the plurality of identifiers, wherein each stored configuration profile comprises one or more parameter settings, wherein the radio control transmit controller is implemented with a logic at least partially defining a particular order of use of one or more of the stored configuration profiles, and wherein the logic has a preference for a last used stored configuration profile to use upon initial linking of the radio control transmit controller with a radio control receiver; the radio control transmit controller being configured to establish a link with a radio control receiver having an identifier associated with the last used stored configuration profile; the radio control transmit controller configured to make a transmission to at least the radio control receiver having an identifier associated with the last used stored configuration profile and to ignore messages from other radio control receivers for an amount of time subsequent to the transmission; the radio transmit controller configured to receive a response from the radio control receiver having an identifier associated with the last used stored configuration profile and determine the radio control receiver has an identifier in the plurality of identifiers that is the identifier associated with the last used stored configuration profile; in response to the radio control transmit controller determining the radio control receiver having an identifier in the plurality of identifiers, the radio control transmit controller selecting a configuration profile in the plurality of configuration profiles, the configuration profile associated with the identifier of the radio control receiver; the radio control transmit controller establishing a radio communications link with the radio control receiver; the radio control transmit controller receiving a user input command; the radio control transmit controller determining an output command based on the selected configuration profile and the user input command; and the radio control transmit controller transmitting the output command to the radio control receiver through the radio communications link.
