i have a question about subs lol. How far down do they go, and how do you see were they are going?
From what I managed to learn, if you're in a pond or lake, the sub will be out of sight after diving about 2 to 2 1/2 feet, so I don't know why you would want to go deeper than that. If you're in a swimming pool, I think the chlorine in the water will effect radio range, so you won't be able to go all that deep and still have control. As far as radio systems, the one radio you CANNOT use is 2.4 ghz, the signal does not penetrate water at all. Maybe more experienced sub guys can help you out more.
