Hi There.
I have just sold a dickie amphy in wartime guise it had been converted to 2.4 r.c.
successfully and performed well on lake and grass, much to the amusment of young and old alike.
the build quality is very good and made by a german firm,
water tight compartments are allready built in and present no probs,
you can run these on 9.6 volt nikko batteries which are the only ones that will fit in well.
good luck and enjoy.
P.S. i have no connection with either of the sales on Ebay at the moment.
Cheers John.W.
