R/C Subs?

baggygreen · 07-15-08, 07:01 PM

hey guys,

I've taken a look around for any r/c subs, but the only ones I can find with any ease are the little kids bath toys. I'm looking for something a little more realistic.. and ready to run (if possible).

Does anyone have any sites??

I want one too. As a kid I had some of those little baking soda subs from cereal boxes.
I always thought it would be neat to have an RC one.

Today, with miniaturization, you could put a mini tv cam in there and see stuff maybe.

I just saw a cool setup in a magazine where this guy hooked up a wireless mini cam to a remote control car. He had it sending it's video to his pc as he drove it around. But the cool thing he added to this was one of those virtual reality goggles with the 3D screens in the eyes so when he's driving the car around, he feels like he's really in the drivers' seat.

Update: They have the instructions and schematics for how to build this online:

If you click on:

You can read some of the article from the magazine. They also have scematic downloads.

I'm sure you can probably apply a similar setup to a model sub.
