Does such a sub exist????
Hi guys, I have absolutly NO experience with rc subs but was just wondering if there is a sub that can go around 15-20 feet deep in salt water. I have seen some subs that can actually go that deep in fresh water, but only a pointless 5cm in saltwater. I live right around newport harbor bay, and wanted to search the bottom floor of the bay with a small video camera that would sit in the front inside the sub. I know that the saltwater breaks up the frequency and all that but was wondering if their is a solotion to that problems...Maybe some sort of wire that connects the subs receiver to the remote??? Any help would be awesome

Well, if you know how a real sub gets orders without breaking the surface, They trail a mile long antenna behind the sail. I'm not sure thats to feasible for RC subs though.

No because those work on ELF frequencies that our radios will never work on. Not to mention the difference in transmitter size! You know what they say. With a big enough gun you can kill anything.

If you know that you will only be in 20-30 foot of water could the sub be wired to a surface float/boat that hauled the reciever? that way your antenna is always above surface sending instructions down the chord..not sure if that has any advantages over having it hooked to the boat you are already in?

an antenna of that length would mess with the frequency of the crystal. not to mention when you are not at depth you run the risk of snagging the length of wire on things such as the prop.

OOOoo. I like the thought of naval equipment...Now lets see... haha. Anyways, for the tether of cable if there is any loss of voltage, you could just use a higher voltage battery.
