- This is a brief video showcasing the final buildup and maiden voyage of an Arkmodel German Type VII R/C submarine.
This boat is set up with a pump-based static dive system, working LED lights and sound system.
Be sure to check out my channel for this and many other projects, and my website at www.nautilusdrydocks.com for the same.
These kits can be ordered on my site with domestic US-based shipping.
Thanks for watching!
“ALARM! FLOOTEN! TOUCHEN DAS BOOT!”
(Great job. I’ve never seen an RC sub before. Guess I should get to my 1:350 scale VII project - lol)
Bob, mabey you could help me out with a problem. I have a old type VII C model from D K Models that has been sitting in dry dock for some time, and I would like to get her running , problem is that the kit did not come with any of the deck hardware , deck guns , hatches ect , and I know that Dan doesn't produce this kit anymore . I was wondering if you might know of some other source that I might obtain these parts in 1/48 scale . Any help would truly be appreciated , and bye the way , your reviews are the greatest , keep up the good work ! Gino
looks awesome until it gets into the water and then it just reacts like a toy. But the detail is phenomenal in model making so I give it a thumbs up

You are lucky I wasn't there with my rc antisub albatross.
"Dive, Dive, Dive!" 👇
It’s cool to know that someday I might get a notification saying, “12 foot RC U-Boat.” On your channel. Hahaha! You would be the guy to do it!
Needs a tiny Jürgen Prochnow.
And he needs to wave and yell, “Thomsen!” 😁
(I actually watched Das Boot last night - lol)
I Hope Alot of kids are watching this or I hope parents invite there kids to see the RC Model World! Its such a great Hobby for Kids to get into and stay out of trouble too, And it doesnt just have to be one type of Model to, They can get into Submarines, Planes, Cars and Trucks in different ways, Rockets, Trains, Etc., yall get the point. I also feel like more RC events should go on in all the States, All Cities! Because ALOT of kids know Nothing about this Awsome Hobby!! More RC Tracks, Pools, Rock courses, All of them in every state! And protected instead of being Shut Down!! For All the Kids and people not causing trouble, Just showing off there Gear and having fun!
you should put a camera attachment that synchronizes to your phone so you can navigate under water better
Wireless video operates on GHZ frequency. No transmission through water. Sorry.
BEAUTIFULLY WEATHERED,FABULOUS SUB.
Amazing job Bob built this for me
love the videos you make as i am in to remote model all but cars & i am planing on making my own models, all the best to you.

Nice! If I gave you 32 million could you build me a real one? I have some British shipping to take of...
MrFang333333 *care
There are two Russian diesel subs for sale in the west indies . Or there were last time I looked . Don't know how much they want for them . But I think 32 mil would be more then enough !
Magnífico, si señor. Este cabalero me hace pasar unos magníficos momentos. Gracias.
Are there any models of the I-400 class of submarine?
I don't know of any I-400 kits, but there are a few B class boats, notably the Lindberg model kit.
RCSubGuy awe :( well thanks for the reply though!
Just ordered this boat from arkmodel with stock settings and finished assembly last month, while the experience is not very good, the boat nose tilts up if I give thrust, I have to keep the dive panel down to keep the boat in a balanced state. I tried adding some triming to the dive panel and also tried moving the cg forward but not working, I'm wondering if there's a solution for this. :( Is it necessary to replace the stocking WTC ?
If the boat is trimmed in a balanced state while stationary, then there are dynamic forces overcoming the boat's stability when underway. You need to increase static stability by adding weight low in the hull and then offsetting that with foam high up in the hull (below the surfaced waterline). This will increase static stability and help to overcome the dynamic forces acting on the boat when underway. Check your control surfaces such as dive plane orientation as well.
@@RCSubGuy Thx for those advices, will give a try :D
hi
Wow. Very impressive. The motor seems overpowered as the real sub could never maneuver that quickly. It looked the most realistic in slow motion so I guess it's up to the operator to control the realism just like most model trains, cars, and planes. Thanks for sharing.
Regarding "flat deck breaking surface tension" - I suspect it isn't about surface tension. It's about flat deck being a big plastic part. Styrene plastic is lighter than water, it has similar density to that of gasoline. It just floats.
Excellent video considering you were by yourself. Its like that sometimes. Keep em coming Bob
any models of the french surcouf submarine
Absolutely!

For a first RC sub, which one would you recommend? The Revell 1/72nd or this model? I understand the Revell is made as a static model and is basically converted to RC so I assume you would need to improvise more compared to this that is made for RC and the planes are already set up for that.
Very nice work, as always, Bob! I look forward to seeing you and your work in person at Carmel!
If I get back to it can I email you for help/questions
cool as shit!!!! mount a go pro AND that would be bees kneeze
Does it actually sink under the water and still move underwater
i have notice none of your subs submerge they all seem to take along time..
buenos días soy fanatico a los submarinos no puedes mandar unos planos y una explicación en español
do you sell these subs? toy companies would happy to make an offer
Lol I know I started this one and bought a lot of stuff to do it, most of the basic work is done I just dont have the time or knowledge to install the wtc and set it up
Are we going to see that model in any movie soon? Awesome looking
That's a great piece of work, thanks for sharing it
Nice and easy..A lot of job..! Great..! :)
when you let it pass in slow motion you just got to play the music from the movie dag boot
were do u get ur subs
I offer many on my site at www.rc-submarine.com.
What kind of remote do you use with this
It reminds me of an alligator when on the water !
i wouldn't mind having such a thing
Awesome, Bob!
Very impressive...!
Great work...that is really cool
Wow Süper...
0:59 man knows not to skip leg day
shapely fetlocks
what is your websit?
MUITO BOM.. MARAVILHA
Very nice 👌👍
great job Bob!
Do you find that the twin rudder configuration on the Type VIIC gives you a shorter turning circle than a single rudder? Also, was the twin rudder incorporated on the Type XXI?
It's all about total surface area rather than number. XXI was a single rudder configuration. Compared to modern subs, the old WW2 boats were pretty nimble. Modern subs with their tiny rudders (with exceptions such as the beautiful and very effective x-tail configured boats) take AGES to turn around.
@@RCSubGuy Thank you...I served aboard a Baleo Class Converted Fleet Sub- USS Sablefish (SS-303). DBF.- Hence my interest in submarines.
Very impressive
love it love it
great work
Very good.
Не плохо (Not bad) :)
I'm really impressed Bob, it even dives like the real boat. You are the sales rep here in the States for that boat, am I right? How much you're selling it for? Thanks, Brian
Pertemba40 - You can order directly from my site at www.nautilusdrydocks.com at a price of $395 plus shipping!
Are you also selling them in dubai and India
really cool
What is your average price to build or finish one?
Each project is different (radically). A basic build might be $2000. An involved one... $10,000? These are not cheap toys.
Do you still build? I have an un- finished gato class
I do, however my build queue is completely full for the next 12 months, unfortunately.
Excellent!
Hirmh... You never showed it fully diving... Can it even dive below the snorkel inlet and resurface? Seems like a key feature is missing if it cannot do so. :x
he explained it at the end of the video, the sub is trimmed light so you don't lose it until you get used to controlling the sub. Once you get more experience you can add weight so it will submerge fully.
Glad to see someone actually watched the video through! Thanks!
👍
Fantastic!!!
