In return for a better answer than yes - you probably need to supply more info then "setup for tanks" yourself.
Setup for??? RC2HL RC5HL RC2TG Tamiya El Mod Eco El Mod Pro El Mod Fusio Eco El Mod Fusion Pro Clark TK IBU1 IBU2 and the list goes on....
Each tank control board is different so....
Also please note this is the RCTA forum for RCTA products primarily. If you are trying to setup for the RC2HL, RC5HL or RC2TG then we will provide all the support we possibly can. If you are trying to setup a competitors board then your first point of call should be the makers of the board or the shop you purchased the board from.
Cheers Kevin G

OK easy then
First up have you opened up the Taranis and made both gimbals self centering?
There is a screw that you can adjust that will make the gimbals self centering or non centering. It is best to have both sticks self centering.
Second - have you downloaded OpenTX and have you been able to connect your Taranis to your computer?
Third - OPenTX is very very similar to ER9X (tankER9X) of which there is a wealth of info on setups. Practically ALL the setup info for the RCXHL units will be the same as for a 9X with FrSky module running tankER9X.
Fourth - Most difficult you must read the manuals/info for OpenTX
Start by entering RADIO SETUP Set channel order to RTEA this is standard for RCTA and Tamiya Set mode to: 3 - for throttle control on the right stick OR 2 - for throttle control on the left stick
Create a model Go to MODEL SETUP Bind you X8R to that model - Don't know how? Read manuals or watch this video
Turn off throttle warning - at a later date you can adjust the switch warnings Go to the MIXER and edit as follows 2015-04-23 13.28.13.jpg
2015-04-23 13.29.02.jpg
Now when you turn on the radio MAKE SURE all switches are in the neutral position - Look at the big bar graph page. With RCXHL or RC2TG you connect channel 1 to input 1 2 to 2 3 to 3 4 to 4 5 to 5 and remove and receiver selection jumpers
TO turn a RCXHL or RC2TG unit on move the SC switch form middle position to up and then back to middle. SF should fire machine gun and SH the cannon.
Taranis is a complex radio with a lot of options there will be no way around not reading the manual and understanding the mixer functions in particular. I strongly suggest connecting up to a computer and looking at the CompanionTX software.
