The 3.0-R is my latest cylinder that is being tested right now and is designed to operate a submarine that is between 40-50" in length, and at least 3" ID. The 3.0 uses the RCABS-R system that is described in the ballast systems section. This will be a limited production item that will be built to order. It will be RTR (Ready To Run). All you will need is your own transmitter and a sub to put the cylinder in. To my knowledge this has never been done before with model subs. I do not have a cost yet, but they will not be cheap as they are totally hand made, and come with all the electronics.

3.0-R Prototype version

I am still working on bringing the 3.0-R to production. It has been put on the back burner so to speak due to lack of time and trying to get my other kits into production. Sorry!
