check out the 'Latest N Greatest' page on my site, I've got pics of the DigiQ sub AND the Bit Char-G Sub.

where do I click buy for one of those subs?

I NEED one for my fish tank!

I almost spewed the $80 for a Hitec (FUNTEC labeled, hitec radio system) but they didn't have good run times or recharging systems like the bit/digi q's.

please...

Sorry blind,

You're going to have to wait like the rest of us. Those pictures on my site were from a Toy Show (I believe in Japan) and the DigiQ Sub was introduced there, but not released yet.

yea, thats the funtec branded Hitec model, $140 is waaaaay to steep, I wasn't even willing to pay $80

especially because:

1) takes 1 hour to charge the sub
2) runs for 10 mins
3) no up/down control, if the throttle is going forward the sub goes down, if you reverse, it goes up, and also since steering is controlled by the props it rises when you make a turn

now the bit char-g sub on the other hand looks to have up/down control like an airplane/normal r/c sub (note the little joystick on the top of the sub's controller, that my geuss is for attitude, much like the 3 channel hitec Focus III airplane controller has)

I want a submarine

I have the Funtec sub and I really like it. It's not worth $140, but that's because everything at Sigma is priced well over retail prices! But it was worth $80 to me. It would be nicer if you could get it without a Tx, as that's probably a large portion of the cost, but still, it's a lot of fun, and works very well. Also, it lasts much, much longer than 10 minutes, like 30-50 at least.
