RC Submarines
Whether lurking just below the surface or plunging 20 feet into the murky waters, RC submarines are a fun and challenging part of the RC hobby world. From bathtub toys to meticulously constructed, detail-oriented scale models, explore the underwater world of RC submarines.
How Deep Can an RC Submarine Go?
The best answer I've ever read is that an RC submarine can go as deep as the deepest part of the ocean. You just might have a little trouble getting it back. The best depth is one where you can still see and control the RC submarine. Find out how deep most RC submarine models can go.

RC Submarine Basics: RTR and Build Your Own
RC Submarines range in size from little bathtub or aquarium toys for in-home exploration to subs that are as big as your bathtub designed for deep sea (or at least deep lake) exploration. Learn the basics of radio controlled submarines.

Underwater RC Sub Adventures
Once you've bought the sub or built it from kit or from scratch, showed it off to friends, and learned the basics of diving, turning, and surfacing you may wonder what else you can do with your RC sub. Here are some ideas.

Sea Scout Micro RC Submarine
This palm-size 5" sub comes ready-to-run with a three channel remote. Available in 27MHz and 49MHz models, you can operate one of each at the same time. Three separate motors control the action: left, right, forward, backward, diving, and surfacing. Watch it action. (My wife has one and it is a cool little toy)

Megatech’s Ocean Explorer-1 Submarine
The short video clips only show some of the great features this RC sub has to offer. For the price I personally think Megatech’s Ocean Explorer-1 sub can provide hours of fun in the pool or a fish tank.

Motorworks SeaWolf Class Submarine
For the price, the Motorworks Naval Submarine is a great pool toy for the kids. Its periscope-shaped controller sends this mini submarine forward, backward, left, right, and makes it surface and dive. Some adult assistance may be required to get it ready for use, but it's easy enough for ages 8 and up to operate.
