Actually, if you are seriously considering buying one of these tanks,
you may be better off buying directly from the manufacturer in Russia.

The tanks are estimated to be around 70kgs (uhhm .. 155-ish lbs?) in
full battle dress .. If you bought one with no options or radio, I
imagine they'd be a bit lighter, but I suspect most of the weight is in
the cast pieces and gearbox/motor units... so save your pennies for the
shipping costs. :)
Oh, as a side note - The hull and superstructure on these are made from
fibreglass. It's pretty thick fibreglass but these 70kg monsters
supposedly take a massive amount of punishment. If somebody who already
has a decent-looking take went to the trouble of taking a mold, you
could have the makings of a quick and cheap(ish) way to get people like
Dugedug into the hobby.
