The ones from the show are all operated by guys inside who do the main motion using their legs, and then they work the plunger and gun using their hands. With early ones they worked the head, eye and lights too, they sort of wore the head as a hat attached to the eye stalk at first, but the newest ones have someone else working all of that by remote control and Nick Briggs' voice acting electronically activates the lights. Some fan made ones are all remote controlled with a short range radio to an internal voice box that activates the lights the same way, and sometimes the BBC hires some of these to make up the numbers for the large Dalek army scenes, so at times it's a combination of different types onscreen. Really it's whatever works for you, and there's lots of resource sites and videos online to help and support new Dalek-builders. Ones made for public show are usually very different to the TV show ones and usually have a voice box built in, some can fire by using a gas canister or water spray too, there are many known options and some folks make completely new models never before seen on TV. It's really up to you.
