Looks like the Haya Chieftain is near enough ready:

Roughly £400 for plastic & £500 gets you metal tracks (drive wheels?) & barrel.

Any idea of the brand? It says it's IR compatible with Tamiya. That will be a first for an RTR tank.

Spring-loaded tensioner! I wonder if that's a modification I could make to my DKLM Challenger 2 hull
