Magnetic Disc Couplings for an hermetically closed motor housing to avoid leakage in higher depth starting at 1.72 inch. the torque is also not from bad parents for a disc coupling starting 33$ each.. I use 1 N torque for a 225W brushless motor. Also for my gripper I am thinking to use them as it sa...

They are my favorites, beside many model parts also a heap of electronic stuff. The parcels were in Thailand 4 days after ordering, so speed is no magic with them.
success!

is the page you want to look at because many people introduce their ROV including some explanations how to build. Good guideline for the start. The stinger steve mentioned is also there.
Good Luck

have a look at that one, its cheap and works Just the magnetic couplings are a bit of an investment

they have 12V doing a nasty light with 18 LED's. They want to come with my rov,,,

I tried one in a shop at home and as small they are they are monsters in power. And the price for brush less...

WOW. First I thought by myself that Props are huge, then I saw your water test and it looks that the Motor just makes a fountain with that props. I bet that ROV will be pushed down like a rock.. BTW I want to reach almost 500' as well (100m) and after I have seen your pics I can't wait that my parts...

Hi all, For min 100m dives I have seen that Ethernet cable becomes quite expensive, so I got some 150m Single mode Fiber Optic cable, unfortunately I wasn't aware its also a penny-wise saving (a mtr of FO cable is just 33THB= rough 1$) BUT then the Fiber Optic RS232 converter was hitting the top.
