1/72 Revell Gato Built with WTC - $650 in Los Angeles

[roberthusar]

Hi all. I have a built gato with dual shaft sub driver. The sub driver is for dynamic dive. I set up parallel LIPO 1200mAh packs (2400mAhr) total to avoid constant WTC removal. Trexxas ESC and futaba 75mhz receiver. You will have to replace the crystal to match your own frequency. $650 local pick up in LA or shipped for another $50.

If the $650 is too high, can someone suggest the proper pricing on this? thanks,

IMHO $650 is not too high! It seems like a great price.
It may be a timing thing, so close to Christmas, I even thought could I afford it?, but that would mean my wife and son would not get any presents, not good for family dynamics. If this has been running add more pictures. Show your boat in action. The sub-driver is an unusual color being white (most of David's are a bluish green color and if this is not a Merriman/Caswell unit it should not be called a sub driver). If you got this sub dialed in, show more photos.
If you need to sell this in a hurry, then you could drop the price, until it does sell.
Peace,
Tom

Thanks. Included is a WTC twin drive but may not be a caswell unit. Price readjusted to $550. Thanks for the feedback.

Could you throw up some pictures of the inside of the hull all the way aft and all the way forward? Looking to see how much is done/needs to be done with the control surface linkages and shafts.
Thanks!

Ahhh, I see. As I look closer, I do not see a ballast tank, am I missing it? If not is there any ballast system installed in this WTC?
Adding more photos will help too. Thank you.

Tom,

I believe he stated above that the boat is a dynamic diver with no ballast system.

That's a good looking boat. I hope she finds a good home.

Tom,

I believe he stated above that the boat is a dynamic diver with no ballast system.

I must be blind, I do not see that or interpret it differently. All I see is "The sub driver is for dynamic dive", nothing about ballast, Matt. All Sub-Drivers are dynamic, (both the ones with ballast and the new EZ Driver ones that do not have one). Since he mentioned this is not a Sub-Driver, I was getting more clarification.

Technically, Tom a dynamic dive requires forward momentum to submerge. A static diver takes on ballast to submerge. While a static diving system can be trimmed to use dynamic motion to completely submerge, it is a static not a dynamic system. By inspection, you can see there is no static dive system present with this system making a totally dynamic system, which is why I interpreted his listing it as a dynamic dive boat literally as such.

O.k. Matt
I am not going to debate this and truly it takes away from this posting.

No movement, perhaps $450 + postage is more appropriate. Thanks for the inputs - Bob Husar
