| Try Dumas boat kits. They have different size Swamp Buggies. A neighbor
of mine had a 40 size and it was a real blast inthe snow. Dumas has ads
in just about all the RC mags.
Have fun.

| Mail order sources such as Tower (see note 9.2) will ship overseas via
US Parcel Post. Use surface shipping; air parcel post is extremely
expensive. I think you might have to pay custom duties at your end.
The Dumas information is in a new reply to topic 14. 14.19?

I know this is a little late but I figues I'd drop it in anyway.
I built the Dumas 1505 Big Swamp Buggy and a friend of mine built
the 1502 Little Swamp Buggy.
The little swamp buggy is useless for use in anythin smaller than
a large puddle. It is very slow and unstable. It is good for a
child but anyone serious about boating would throw it in the scrap
pile.
The Big Swamp Buggy is a different story. It can be powered by a
.40 or larger. In building mine I made a few modifications. I built
the deck in a solid manner opposed to the large open area. I filled
it with foam prior. I madt the rc compartment a little differently
also. Instead of the large amount of screws all the way around I ran
two bolts through the hull and the 1/4 inch plexiglass cover was held
on with wing nuts on each end. I built a cockpit on the deck and
put a large pilot in it. The engine pod was modified to accept a
.65 sportster, and the thing flew. It controlled well and barely
touched the water. I'd honestly say it did 40 plus mph. I would
reccomend the kit. It's not too hard to follow and is good building
experience for the novice. If anyone needs any help feel free to
contact me.
