Gene,
If you search there are several builds that will give you the equipment that they used. I am not giving you a complete description here because I am not sure how you are building your sub. The things I listed can be purchased at Nautilus Drydocks (link at top of page). Some variables are surface running only or do you want it to dive? Don't laugh, some people only make there subs surface runners and that's o.k.
Assuming you want to make yours dive, the ultra basic run down would be:
a 75MHz radio 6 channel and receiver (No your 2.4 Gigahertz will not work underwater)
Failsafe/LiPo Battery monitor
Lipo Battery
Leveler
Speed Controller (ESC),
3 - micro servos Foreward and Aft dive planes, rudder
2" Sub-Driver (you are going to pack 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound space).
Again search for Revell Type VII on this site and plenty of results will help you too!
If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub. -
