1:72 SCALE US GATO CLASS RC SUBMARINE – READY TO RUN
Product#: 0057
WE BUILD THESE AS A SURFACE RUNNER SUBMARINE.
Many customers have expressed an interest in submarines, but want an affordable surface running option without the high cost/issues/maintenance of a diving submarine. As most RC Diving Submarines spend most of their time on the surface anyway, this model fills a gap in sub models for the enthusiast. Unless you OWN or have ACCESS to a LARGE SWIMMING POOL, MOST LAKES AND PONDS ARE NOT CLEAR. Once a DIVING version SUBMERGES, YOU CAN'T SEE THEM WITHOUT SOME WATER CLARITY. This model was weighted and balanced to set in the water similar to the original.

The BOAT DOES NOT BOB AROUND LIKE A MODEL as it weighs about 9 pounds. The BOAT IS WATER TIGHT even though IT IS NOT A DIVING SUB MODEL. The battery connections and On/Off switch are located in the main access hatch.
READY TO RUN!! BOAT BATTERY CHARGER NOT INCLUDED!
