Stolly at Silverdale

This is an extended video of a 1/12 scale Alvis Stalwart amphibious RC truck driving and sailing around Silverdale lake. The truck has been scratch built using a Tamiya 6 x 6 donor chassis. The chassis has been modified to shorten the wheelbase, convert the middle wheels to steer and has had 2 x 12 volt water pumps added to provide water jet propulsion on the water. The model also features a working crane, swim board which deploys when entering the water, a smoke generator and sound unit.

Thanks for the info on the commander - I will position him in the other hatch for the next outing. Hope to put a short video together of the build from a series of photos. The only info I can find on the Hiab stored left to right is those trialed by the Swedish Navy and fitted with a smaller Foco crane. British Stalwarts had the crane stored facing the rear over the load deck except for the REME Fitters vehicles which had them facing forwards over the cab to provide more space for the fitters workshop.
