Is this a 21rst Century in disguise? Its from an ebay auction.

Looks like a Wal-Mart tank to me. They sold them under a different name, though I have not seen that camoflage pattern before.

I've just searched for 1/18 and found a couple of Pz IV's made by " New Millenium Toys "

I believe the "R/C'd" Mark IV's from 21st Century were billed as the products of an outfit called "Motorworks"...... This could be a "custom" paint job....(Note the white dot in the middle of the cross, and the missing MG on the Turret mount).

The 21st 1:18 tanks, by the way, were sold here in Canada not by Wal-Mart but by "Toys R Us".

Right! That's what mine said on the box.

how good/bad are they?

I have one - dont like it ..... two stick steering sounds and handle much worse than stock WSN T34/85 ...... rubber non links tracks .... stiff suspension ..... Planning to do a HL coverion on mine / or sell it ...

The 21 Century tanks have at least decent detailing...this one is out the window....track guards/skirts, markings, numbering are all wrong. With better RC, the 21 C stuff does OK, even with molded on suspension. Could make a good target for the weapons- mod guys that are converting the guns to real armor piercing stuff.....and dog/cat chasers.

The detailing is actually OK on it ( one mine, not the one one the first pic ) , its just all the other stuff I dont like ...

and of course its at a wal-mart not around me :P

Got mine on E-bay

No working suspension, rubber tracks, excellent detail. It takes some getting used to RC wise, it even has sound! Only drove it a few times, sits on the shelf. Excellent detail IMO. Much better then the one in the picture.
