$10,000 R/C Replica Tiger Tank
GadgetReview — This replica German King Tiger tank doesn’t actually fire, but at 6 feet long and 550 pounds it ain’t to be messed with.  Under its hood are two 500-watt, 24 volt motors that are apparently able to pull a car.  For added realism they tossed in a fully operational turret and speakers to replicate a tank’s clunky noise. Cost?  Just $10k. [Dvice]
