    Thunder Tiger Neptune (Upgraded)

    (Motor, ESC, RX, battery, propulsor, lighting system, ballast weights)
    Very little use. I originally purchased it without the stock transmitter.
    The sub was taken apart and rebuilt with better RC components.
    The motor has been upgraded to brushless.
    The battery has been upgraded to a 5000MA LiPo.
    I had the ballast control board professionally resoldered and the fail safe has been reset to work with the LiPo battery voltage.
    The propeller was changed to a multi blade type that works much better in the shroud.
    I installed a 5 channel Novak synthesized receiver. (so any 75 MHZ radio will work).
    I installed lights and a electronic switch to activate them.
    I cast custom weights for the ballast rod to compensate for the lighter battery and motor.
    This sub is not a lumbering whale and can move out smartly if required.
    Plus having longer run time.
    The sub will be sold without transmitter, but any 75 MHZ 4 or 5 channel (Five required for controlling the lights) will work.
    Just let me know what brand of transmitter you have and the frequency you would like and I will have the receiver set up for you.
    But the frequency can be easily changed anytime.
    I have all the original tools, box and packaging.
    Any questions or photos feel free to PM me.
    I did not post many photos as it looks the same as any other Neptune.
    I will post links to three videos.
    Two showing the thrust and handling. And one showing the lights.
    You can cycle through the lights with the switch so you can have all lights, only front, only side, and flashing. The side lights are red and green. (Port & Starboard)
    The front is bright white. ( Very bright) The lights are controlled from the transmitter.
    I am asking $550 plus shipping which is less than what I have invested.
    I just don't use it anymore.
    I get my kick out of the modification, run it a few times, and then it sits.
    Someone else can enjoy it now.
    Thanks, BD

            An SCR article on this would be cool. See how free I am with your free time usage.

                BTW Motor was a 890KV 250 watt out runner.
                I will look up the brand.
                I used a 50 amp HK ESC.
