Roger...I have been eyeing the Century 21 M-48A3 for possibilities of RC. The tank itself is sturdy, but figure the tracks would have to be replaced. They are cheap enough and I could probably put it together and really, 1;18 really isn't not much off from 1;16. Bad thing is the lack of movable suspension. I think 1;35 RC would be just too much hassle and too flimsy. Goof luck.
