I would get the TAE kit. I dont think the TAES component works very well for the extra money. Its meant to keep the boat at a predetermined depth when stationary, but i have not seen it work correctly - go for it though if you have the money. The TMAX is ok but you need 3 channels to control it rather than 1 also with TMAX you have either full surface or submerged trim - nothing in between, you can't choose to be partially submerged like with the TAE system.

2.4Ghz does not work under water. 40Mhz is legal in Aus but you only have a 2 or 3 legal frequencies (I think), so go with 29mhz. the kit does not come with servo, you get with your radio or bought separately. You'll need a minimum of 5 channels if you go with TAE or TAES, 7 if you go with TMAX. Add an extra channel for each extra function, like independent throttle control, sound etc. I'd go for a 8 channel minimum set for flexibilty, they are not much more than 6 ch sets. They should all be computerised. If 40 MHz is an option, then this band will give you the option of choosing the Robbe or Graupner expandable tray type trasmitters which are the prefered options for multifuction subs and boats
