When I was a kid I had one of those Nikko Seawolf subs. Loved it back then and so I recently bought a good one on eBay. Just tested it in the tank and surprisingly all functions work as advertised. In fact the dynamic diving works better than on my other built subs: The thing goes instantly down or up and deeper than its much more expensive brethren.
Never quite understood why Nikko claims it to be 1/250 scale: There are two seats in the front that are more like 1/50. So I decided to paint the cabin up accordingly and 3d printed a couple of crew members. Also got rid of the stupid Seawolf theme etc. I intend to change that into a Bond villain look. :)
For the little money these things cost, they are a relative bargain and easy enough to operate/maintain (fingers crossed). And this one even fits into a suitcase so I could take it to an event by airplane.
