The Viper Sub8 is a Brushed speed controller designed specifically for use in RC submarines.
The Sub8 has a 40Amp motor limit, what this means is that you can use any, DC Brushed motor, as long as the current drawn by that motor does not exceed 40Amps under load (with the prop connected, under water).
The Sub8 is the perfect speed controller for anybody who is into RC submarines and wants a speed controller designed specifically for their hobby interests.
The Sub8 has all the same features as the Viper Marine range of Brushed speed controls with the added bonus of having a high power 3A BEC. The BEC fitted to the Sub speed controls is more powerful than that used on the standard Viper Marine range. This allows you to hang more auxilliary functions on the regulated 5.0V for any of your models other features that might require a 5.0V supply! Features such as adjustable reverse functions and a built in failsafe are standard on Sub8 and the motor stall protection is a feature which cannot be overlooked when a possible encouter with weeds is always a possibility. Not to forget that the Viper Marine range of speed controllers are all completely 100% waterproof.
