Thanks, i thought it would be the case but didn't want to buy all goods and then disaster strike. any recommends for varable speed controller that could be used? i have got a rubber boot that will be compressed by o rings and the plastic tubing so would be completely water tight up to about 30m.
I am planning on making a diver propulsion vehicle, with stealing control as well as a speed control; by my reckoning the 4 motors should provide enough power to give me a top speed of about 10 knots with full scuba gear on.
