ROV kit for sale

[bigkahuna]

Just about everything you need to build a professional grade mini ROV. I spent nearly $5,000 assembling these components but just don't have the time and energy to finish this project. Some basic electrical and mechanical knowledge will be necessary to complete this project, but there's tons of info and a great forum on the internet for information and advice. Most components are new / never used while others have only been used in order to test them. Although everything worked perfectly when last checked, I offer no warranties or returns. Open to all reasonable offers.

I just added a "buy it now" option in case anyone is interested.

Out of curiosity, what were you planning to purchase to complete it? It still needs a control box and PIC board , no? I've used Castle's ESC's before and know how to set them up. I'm an electronics tinkerer who's not afraid of my soldering iron. I've been looking at doing an ROV for a long time, and it looks like you have a nice start. Just curious what kind of time and money you were thinking to complete what you have started.

Thanks,

Jason

Jason, why dont you get a seaotter or a videoray. i see them for sale at reasonable prices in the US from time to time.

Hi Jason,

It's not a matter of more things to get, but rather, not having enough free time to finish the project that keeps me from finishing it. The kit includes all the major components and how you finish it is really up to you. Lots of room, both in the housings and on the open aluminum frame, for both expansion and customization.

Thanks for your interest,

BigK

Trying to find the time to put a ROV together is hard for me too.I have everything here to build one,even have a real F-16 joystick for the controls,even have a few 90lb thrust thrusters.All kinds of cameras and houseings to put them in.Some that will stay dry at 1000 feet.I wanted to build a ROV that would fly underwater and be able to move it side to side.To many other projects im working on now to mess with it.Looks like a winter project for me.Anyone want to help build it?
