If you wanted to build one alike I'd suggest to convert the existing model to RC, since being wire-controlled, it'll probably have the motors already installed, just drop in the RC-equipment and go. If you wanted to build a sub similar to the second one, you'll probably need simple-shaped objects, PVC tubes, plastic sphere covers, etc.

Ok, i am sorry for not be here for so long.
I whant to now what kind of motor should i use for my sub?
For a first test i am thinking in bying one like this:
http://www.raidentech.com/rarecoubasun.html
http://www.egrandbuy.com/atrcmitosu.html
And i will make a new hull, and change the motor to a more powerfull one, is that possible?

The hull will be made in PVC.

Are there any ballast kits already made avaiable to buy?

Hi,
The motor choice depends on several factors: the sub's size, battery, the torque, etc. Several manufacturers such as Graupner, Robbe, Mabuchi, Johnson, and Pittman make electric motors. I've never been familiar with brushless motors however.
A servo is a device attached to the receiver unit which does the physical work inside an RC vehicle. It is "the little black box"
that has all the linkages and control rods hooked onto it. It has an electric motor and a gearbox which allows it to control all your control surfaces (e.g: rudder, diving planes, ballast tank valves, etc).
As for ballast tanks, several manufacturers make those, check these links out:
Pump-ballast system made by OTW:

Engel piston tank:

Some people also like to make their own ballast tanks, for several reasons: compatibility issues, price...... or just for the fun of out it!!!
