Success! Now on to the second problem. The Polk receiver was on the list to be changed due to poor reception compared to the Sombras. Ive also noticed that the Seaviews servo, that controls the stern planes(which is hooked to the APC) would move back and forth on its own while the motors were running. WELL, GUESS WHAT???!!! With the Sombra in place, NO UNWANTED SERVO MOVEMENT!!! OUTSTANDING!!! I couldnt be happier with that! As the instructions that come with the Sombra says " the most advanced DSP signal detection, noise control, and glitch suppression algorithms". Best $64 I ever spent.........lately.

It's this sort of comment that we really need posted on our web page.

If I can expand on what Mark observed above:
I have around fifteen working r/c submairnes, employing the entire range of SubDriver's. And ALL OF THEM were either assembled outright with a Sombra Labs receiver or were retro-fitted with one. I swear by these receivers. Polk's is second best in my opinion (not a slam, a well studied fact), but the Sombra product is absolutely the best receiver on the market for our needs.

Now that the Sombra is in place and the right hand drive is fixed, she is now "Secure For Sea". I got to get my camera man and get her to the pond by sundown for some Dusk pictures and Video.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

Another interesting fact about the Sombra verses Polk discussion is that the Sombra you can use it for either 72 MHZ or 75 MHZ. The Polk, you have to send back to them for them to reprogram. Just a little FYI.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

How do you secure your battery? Are you using LiPos? I ask because I had to secure my battery to keep it from shifting. One day it would lean to port the other starboard.If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

Good point. I have a battery WTC that fits tightly so that it cant move. I bought a new LIPO with more capacity. It weighs more than the other one so I have to add more foam anyway so I can solve both problems at the same time.Last edited by greenman407; 12-15-2012, 12:43 PM.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment
