I posted on this a couple of days ago uneder the 1/16 Airsoft Tiger thread.
Here it is again:

I have posted on this topic before, but I'll do so again. I have both the Tiger (in grey) and the Pershing. I think they are both loads of fun. Some people will try to stear you away from it these by poo pooing them because they are cheap knockoffs of Tamya R/C tanks. This is true, but for those of us who can't or are not willing to shell out six hundred to a thousand and over bucks for the Real thing, these have a place too. I found them to be superior in several ways to the 21st Centuty R/C's. They are bigger than the 21st scale 1/18 (my r/c Tiger is noticeably larger than my 21st side by side) but it is not as noticeable when they are not sitting next to each other. I actually ditched the cheasy rubber looking tank commanders that came with them and manned them with 21st Commanders and I think they look cool. You could easily set up a town or battlefield with your 21st stuff in your yard and battle with these tanks among it and not really notice the difference in scale. For the price, I think they are a great value. I got mine at www.raidentech.com. Mine are both the smoke and sound versions, although the smoke motor is a little loud. They also come with a volume control which is very nice after having 21st Pz IV's with none. Anyone else need any info on them, just let me know.

( I also believe raidentech has or at least did have a dual pack you could by and save a couple of $$ buying them both together.)

Also, I failed to mention above that the smoke motor has an on off switch,
so if you don't want to hear the noise of the smoke motor, you can just turn the smoke off. everything else will still work.

Hey thanks for the info dfoos, sorry if I failed to notice a previous thread on this subject. I may get a T-34 and / or a Pershing.

I have had the Pershing for a while. I did some detail work on it and plan on adding a proper length barrel, but they are nice tanks. I picked mine up cheap and gutted the RC and gears out of it. It rolls nice as a "static" model. Here are some pics of it...
