I Just wanted to pop in and tell you guys about a cool little kids sub that I picked up. It's made by Nikko and it's called the Sea Tiger. This little sub measures about 5 inches in length and has dual propeller setups that you can adjust to control the angle of dive.
It's powered by three aaa batteries, and dives to a depth of two feet before automatically surfacing. If you prefer you can modulate the throttle to kinda cruise along the surface and then hold down on the throttle to dive. You can do spinning reverse surfaces or just put her in reverse and she'll pop up.
I know it's not a serious sub like you guys run, but if you have a young one around that always wants to run your sub, or if you just wanna have some cheap fun, pick one up. It really is a lot more fun then the typical Nikko stuff is. Plus it looks cool with it's shark toothed decals on the front, I got the red one.
Don't pay the inflated E Bay prices, I picked mine up for $50 at my local Hobbytown USA. They should be around everywhere soon.
My 7 year old loves it when he can get it away from me!.---Rob
