Trumpeter Kilo conversion to RC

[fung pang]

i take out my box,

i take out my box, cut out the hull, do a dry fit, find out it will take a 1 1/2 in. 14" long pvc pike, or a 2 in. 9" long pvc pike.

with home make end caps (no lathe needed), it should be very easy make it in to a dynamic only WTC.

1.5 wtc

i think my 2" pvc pike wtc could go inside the type VII, too.
post more later.

Fung Pang,

Fung Pang,

very nice !
what motor did you use ? does it contain a gearbox

how do you make the prop axle watertight ?
just an o-ring or something else ?

please do post news later on !

i find the motor a

TIA,

i find the motor a the wram show, is for airplan, but with 3]motors.jpg[/url]

is the small one. i may try to jam it in the wtc, and the motor is not cheap.

for the first time i will try to put the cheap motor out side the wtc, this will make it a easy setup.

for the end caps

i use subtech seal.

Found this little guy in

Found this little guy in my local Target store. It's got a watertight motor, and battery compartment, (2) blade screw. I think it might fit nicely inside my Trumpeter Kilo hull.

Tho the shaft diameter is a little too big, it should not be a problem to change.

My Kilo will use a pump ballast system for diving, I am using a small Mabuchi motor for propulsion, Trumpeter included two prop options, I chose the Type 636 (Improved Kilo) seven bladed props.







P.S. Martin, thanks for the rcuniverse forum, I can finally post pictures on the BB!

You can also see some diagrams I updated on my Kilo page]Kilo diagram update[/url]

p.s. i believe we exchanged e-mails last summer when i tried to get this sub to work. originally i tried to use a pump ballast system, but i was about 1.5 inches short on the hull length so i gave up. this summer i continued the project and just made a dynamic diver with no ballast tank.

i am working on the same project, after putting on hold my revell sub!

I have used V05 hair styling wax tubs for my drainpipe WTC end caps - works a treat.

Also, how do i semi fix the WTC to the hull? Any ideas appreciated - otherwise it is nearly finished
