watertight cylinders
Watertight cylinders (or WTC's as they are often called) are the heart and soul of an R/C submarine. Their main functions are to keep the electronics and battery of your boat dry during operation and to create a means of increasing or decreasing the buoyancy of the model through the use of a ballast system.
250 and 300 Series cylinders are now being fully supported by Jason Butterfield. You can contact him directly about manufacturing, delivery and other matters pertaining to these units:
