Hey Zephir, after shelling out

Hey Zephir, after shelling out a few thousand bucks over the last 11 years on subs my newest sub is a 20.00 dollar Wallmart special. No kidding, 20 buck for the sub, radio, all you need is batts. and water. Very easy to operate. Or if your up to the challenge, the Revell type VII is a very cool scale sub to modify for RC. good luck. Jeff Jones

The 20 dollar sub at

The 20 dollar sub at walmart is that the one where you press a button and it dives or is it one where u can control the dive and go up and down a lot.

Yes that is the very same one, with a few mods this thing can run circles around the stock unit!

Only the Super Centers carry those...as a side note..

When you say mods what

When you say mods what kind of mods were you thinking of. I might want to get one if they are that good and are that cheap. How much would the mods cost?

Is it the Sea Wolf

Is it the Sea Wolf one that cst 130 dollars.

NO it's made by Motor

NO it's made by Motor Works and it's $19.95 dollars..

Mods are like adding to the prop shaft so the prop goes out the back of the sub (Which helps this sub out 100% in speed)
take the rear diving planes and take the "notch" out and then flip over the fins, this way you don't need to hold down the dive button to dive, forward motion will do that for you.
and then you can do more by resoliding the wire in the battery compartment so you can run a full 6.0V or 4.8V if you use recharables..which if you run Nhims..you will need to add Stryofoam to your sub to keep it floating.
There a few more to list but you see this Wallyworld Sub is a good platform.. go check in the RC modeler and look for the WAllyworld sub.. pictures are there.
