Hi, the Engel Typhoon does not come with working torp doors or missile doors, that you'll need to do that yourself. They all come with twin dive tanks. The TAES adds a depth keeping ability when the boat is parked and static (does not work when its underwater, you'll need a depth keeper that works off the dive planes for that), over the basic TAE system. The TMAX allows proportional control over the the piston tanks (fine tune trim from the transmitter rather than having to open it up and add lead to balance it). RC Premium is TAES with all the xtras you might need like radio and speed controllers. I bought mine (TMax version) direct from the Engel website.
I haven't managed to find time to test her out yet. The first sink or swimm effort is penciled in for the 19th of this month at the Norwich Sub meet. More pictures then
