Default RE: Microtech Sub

ORIGINAL: shaneperch

Ok this may be a stupid question,,,, BUT,,,, arethe motors on the outside in those pods or are they inside kinda like the walmart sub driving a gear train and linkage to those pods? and what do they sound like our of the water? quiet? Thanks Tom

They are mounted on the outside of the mini sub body. Here's a few pics that you requested in your previous posts.

Pic#1 is a view of the Ocean explorer 2 electronic board. The round metallic object you see at the bottom part of the sub is a 1/3 AA X 3 or 3.6 Volts Ni MH battery.
Pic#2 is aview of the led wirings in the mini sub's nose cone cover.
Pic #3 is the on/off terminal contacts. You must apply CA super glue to this area to keep these contacts from "sinking" into the sub's hull.
