Don't know if anyone is interested in this but I figured I'd let all the R/C guys know (if you didn't already). I found this at my local Wal-Mart for $149. I checked out their web-site, they have some videos of this beast in action. I think it could have some potential (if not it still looks like fun) The version I saw was painted a sandy color (can always repaint) and it is preassembled, but still cool IMHO!

Thats pretty cool Jason! Went to the walmart site but all I seem to find for military rc vehicles is 1/6 hummers. Is it hiddeen or could you possibly post a link for us? I know two little boys that would love to have a pair of these for christmas this year. Cheers Kevin

might not be on there website yet, check the store. might be there

Yeah I can't find it on their website either, but my local Walmart (Laurel, Maryland) has them for $150. My b-day is in 3 weeks...told my wife I would like one!! I'm sure they will show up on Walmart's website or at your local store sometime soon. Sorry I can't be of more help. Here's the link for anyone who wants to check out their videos or more info or pics of the tank. http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/products/M5_RC_Tank.html

That "tannish" color is their latest re-paint. to represent faded OD. The original issues were a darker, "fresher", OD.
As r/c tanks go, this is a bargain at twice the price, the working suspension and sound effects are incredible.

At that price its a bargin, if you want to go all the way, its possible, there is updates to buy, or you can throw something together:-)

Someones been at it :
