Hello!
I am in the progress of 3D modeling an RC Submarine, which i plan on 3D printing. I have been looking through hobbyking.com to try and find parts that will work for it. Hobbyking has a lot in relation to hellicopters, quadcopters, cars, and boats, but they don't have anything specifically related to submarines.
These are the components and quantities i am thinking of using.
2 HobbyKing™ HK15138 Standard Analog Servo 38g/4.3kg/0.17s
2 Turnigy 1015 Brushless Inrunner Motor 11500kv (these will be motors ran parallel, which control submerging)
2 HobbyKing XP 3A 1S 0.7g Brushless Speed Controller (these will be the speed controllers for the Turnigy 1015 motors)
1 XK2858-2900KV Brushless Inrunner (this will be the main thrust motor)
1 TURNIGY Plush 40amp Speed Controller (this will be the main motors speed controller)
2 Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 25C Lipo Pack (main battery pack for the submarine)
1 Hobbyking™ T682 AC 6s 10A 90W Eco Touch Balance Charger/Discharger
1 Turnigy TGY-i10 10ch 2.4GHz Digital Proportional RC System with Telemetry (Mode 2)
1 XT90 Battery Harness 10AWG for 2 Packs in Parallel (this is for running the 2 motors in parallel)
1 Turnigy nano-tech 750mAh 1S 35-70C Lipo Pack
I am uncertain if these components will work together (i am new to this hobby and clueless). My biggest concerns is, will i be able to program the radio is such a way that it will work with a submarine. I have not been able find a specific submarine controller so far, so if i could get this one to work with it i would save money buying one controller which can be used for future air borne projects.
Any help or input is welcome! Thanks!
