The best motorised tank model I ever had was a Tamiya Centurion. Two motors, one for each track so it could be manoevered like the real thing, with about three forward speeds plus 1 or 2 reverse, I don't remember. Unlike a lot of these motorised plastic models, this one was totally reliable.

Close second would've been the Panther. Of course back when I was a teen building these they weren't radio-controlled but had two long wires coming out the back to a hand-held battery box: naff really.

Then there were countless other motorised tracked models (tanks and other AFVs) which just went unguided over obstacle-courses constructed from books and stuff. Don't know whether they still put motors in these kits...
