    RPM Tec 1/72 KILO for Sale

    I have to admit that this model requires more love than I have to give it. I purchased it some time ago and I just haven't done anything with it apart from using the hull for some painting experiments!

    It comes with the original WTC with motor, servos and bulkheads. The batteries were replaced two years ago but are probably now shot. The ESC, which is a quad motor controller used in robotics and originally controlled the two ballast pumps, is probably shot as well. The retractable bow planes are in place but there are no masts.

    The ballast system DOES NOT WORK. It will require expertise (that I don't have) to get this boat back into the water.

      Scott, if you weren't on the other side of the planet I would be pleading with you to do the paint job on my Akula!

          Hey, you were one of the few lucky ones that got that sub. I paid for it but... you know. Looking good though with some work to do in her.

                Yes, I paid A LOT for the complete kit with fore planes and masts moving systems. Waited for more than three years, recevied a lot of lies and, finally, the man disappeared after stopping answering my e-mails. I have news about people from USA, and various countries in Europe in the same situation. Even tried to contact with the FBI through US consulate in Madrid but was fruitless. Any piece of information will be welcomed.

                              I will have you know, this thing is so far above my pay-grade, I would have to look up, just to see the bottom of it...what a sophisticated thing of beauty. Actually, my skill-set has been vastly cut, as well as my ability to scrap it out with the big boys...I was actually asking for a friend. Us fellows that are on Disability cannot throw our money around, like we used to. Its only Rot Gut liquor, and ugly women for me now.

                              I am quite certain that the Military training you received during the war has turned you into a mighty killing machine...Im just not going to say WHAT WAR it was!
