Hi John.
As far as I am aware the pix I saw of the dicky, it seemed to come with what looked like the standard two channel radio tranny
and was dearer than the later version. I dont know if the Dicky had any speed control as I only have the work boat version.
The work boat has the gun tranny one speed and the steering is non existant. Ideal to tinker with If you get a cheap one off flea
bay..
Its ideal for a conversion to standard gear and for putting your own stamp on. I went the whole hog motor, coupler, shaft,
shaft oiler, tiller arm, and four blade brass prop,,refitt I have kept the watertank as I intend to use the monitor and I wanted to
keep the deck locating lugs. I am using a 6volt C cell pack on top of the tank, 10amp viper s,con, and the receiver pack sits where
the concrete ballast block was located.
It works out about 1/48 scale so you can get some figures on it and there are woven fenders and tyres to be got on e-bay
if you want to add more detail.
cheers Frank
