Wow!!,a 1/16th DUKW.

Post some pics asap please Frank.

Think I'd go for four wheel drive,that way once you've got the front wheels on the ramp
or beach,you can drive out of the water insted of relying on the prop to push you far enough for the rear wheels to grip.

Maybe something from Tamiya's range of four wheel drive buggies will fit the bill.
You should be able to pick something like a TA-01 shaft driven 4WD chassis from
E-Bay.
That chassis has a mid-mounted motor(on the front end of the rear'box)and a shaft from rear to front supplying the drive for the front 'box.
The transfer 'box is incorporated into the rear'box and there are diffs in both ends.

Its always good to suport your local model shop . Im in Peterborough we used to have a model shop when I was in my teens , but this has long gone . The one Ive recently been using which catered for all sorts of modlers . Not so many RC tanks but still a good model shop . He shut down about a month ago . I now use the only remaing model shop in Peterborough . This realy is mainly trains but has static military models and does stock milliput cheep and has styrene sheets . And also one the pluss side there only a few mins walk from were I live . We do have a Hobby Mart but there expensive , charging nearly £5 for the milliput I get for just under half that price. Theres another model shop within half an hours drive again loads of styrene etc . But there seems to be a decline in model shops . Well done Frank for supporting your one .

Ps does he have a website .
