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!

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.

Me want one.
Too bad the gun is fixed in the wrong angle to the mantle but that should be an easy fix.
