1/350 Yamato Battleship RC Conversion Tutorial II

This is the second episode which covers the last half of essential sections for building the 1/350 Yamato 78030. Again, the approach is not limited to TAMIYA 78030 but 78025 or 78014 as well. Nevertheless, it is also a general plan which may inspire for various type of model warship. Plenty of brass RC kits would be released for TRUMPETER 1/350 & 1/200 series as well.

Very very awesome conversion Hugo! However... I don't think the Yamato could go that fast hahaha, well done!

Awesome!!! Congratulations!

Is there TAMIYA ENTERPRISE 1/350, TAMIYA MISSOURI C 1991?

[@admiralsuarez6165]

What would be the recommended start mode for this? I'm asking because my motors jump back and forth on my setup but my solder joints are good.

[@saritpornlounkaew1179]

I use to make one...your propulsion system is way better than mine...but mine can rotate the main turrets

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

The fluffy bear gaming Perfect. Actually, the front turrets are activated by two servos. Considering the video maybe so long that I cut that part😅

[@saritpornlounkaew1179]

Where can I get the motor, mounts and propeller parts?

[@Hi-lb8cq]

Can you show how you wired all the motors together and show how you connecting it to the esc?!?!?

Es magnifico todo

[@RCSubmarinevideo]

Hugo, Thank you for adding your excellent videos to KZbin! I so enjoy watching them. I just acquired a 1/200 Nichimo Yamato kit. What would you recommend I get to RC it? I got this kit to build again. This kit is re-living my childhood when I purchased and built it in the 1970's. That boat I gave away to a hobby shop when I moved.

beautiful ship..can i ask you?motor,esc,battery and transmitter did you used to it?what amps are they?

[@jasonsmith1143]

cool 😎

[@dayarao1555]

Good work sir,motor connected in paraller or series control by single esc how the wiring..thank you

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

Well, identify the clockwise and counterclockwise propellers, then testing the motors in the same direction of rotation and mark down the negative and positive pole. Welding the same pole in a single wire then connect to ESC. A ESC of 180A is pretty enough for 180 motor X4.

[@aussiefrenchman-hobbytable9960]

h Hugo just bought 1/350 Dunkerque, do you do a RC kit for this ship, or do I convert a kit already on the market and which one would you recommend, thks

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

Hi Marc, certainly we have RC kit for 1/350 Dunkerque. Due to the demand of the market is not huge, we still haven't let it online.

[@dayarao1555]

Great vidoe i am rc convesion too.Can u share where can get all conversion parts for conversion,specially motor, shaft proppler and stuffing box..thank you

[@miljanzivaljevic3342]

Hi, how did you connect 18650 batteries in series or in parallel, how many Volts and mAh do they have. Thanks for your reply. Best Regards.

[@kennymorrill7060]

Would love to know how the wiring goes for motors to ESC. I have ordered very similar motors and all for my model I am building

[@michaelpiro4500]

I purchased the kit for the Yamato 1/350 model 78030, and received it sometime in February 2021. I noticed that the brass shafts for the propellers are much shorter then the ones you show in the conversion video, could you please explain, and will the ones I received work just as well.

[@John-gh2nn]

Do you think that a upgrade kit for trumpeter essex will work in hobby boss alaska

[@earlyhemibill]

What type of glue are you using to attack the metal parts to the plastic?

[@TheMistral]

Awesome conversion!! I have the old 78014 and I'm petty interested in that RC conversion. Where could I find-buy all those parts?? That propellers, shafts, servos...

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

Thanks for your watching. Exactly, 78014 is almost the same as 78030. The item could be found on eBay.

what esc did you used to install 4 motors?because some people says that it is not good to install more than 1 motor in 1 esc?i want to build like that please help me ...

Will the motors work on any 4 shaft warship

[@nessyu7578]

Great work! Where to buy those metal parts?

[@williamsantiago7303]

Great video buddy. I have a question, I'm interested in the plastic model USS Enterprise air craft carrier made by Tamiya. Could I install a electric motor and a esc in this model to make it a RC ship? Thumbs up on your video buddy.

[@elel9380]

what paint and varnish for the hull???

[@clydesaunders8804]

what type of resisters you are using?

[@IRFSI]

How do you closed the deck so you can reopen it later? I really need to know. Thanks for the help.

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

Hi, for No. 78030 I seal the front deck while the rear deck is just dry assembly via its original mechanism. Because for 1/350 scale is not that huge, the kit would not deform so much. But in 1/250 Yamato, I am doing almost the same but utilize magnetic to firmly stick the rear deck and the hull.

[@IRFSI]

@@Hugo-ot7xu oh thanks a lot. But if I seal the front how could I be able to open it, when I need to change batteries etc.

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

@@IRFSI It depends, from my habits for the maintenance may not requires opening all decks. Say for an extreme example like 1/350 ROMA, it only available for cut off the shape of down bridge for maintenance. So, for battery recharging just a balanced wire could be drag outside is enough. But for such ship the water proof process should be done in a high level. Return to Yamato, the size of opening the rear deck is quite adequate for pulling the battery pack out or ordinary checking or even replace the ESC or motor. All in all, well managing the position of setting each unit before making a final decision is exactly essential.

[@IRFSI]

@@Hugo-ot7xu well if it is possible to recharge it from wire alone, it would be huge help. Then don't need to open all of the deck. Thanks for your huge help ^^

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

@@IRFSI You are welcome. Exactly, if a ship's waterproof on shafting done reach to a submarine level, it would be an ideal approach for ship to maintain a complete wooden deck. No extra cutting works is required.

[@aarinesfahani]

What about the Yamato guns?

[@phaserush1024]

I'm not into RC, so I don't know anything and I just stumbled upon this video. Just asking whether if it's possible to like e.g use one motor for two propellers so that the ship moves more "realistically" and not very fast?

[@7r47ufchfyw7twguwgu]

U can or just buy an controll with speed limit like my

[@coast219]

At 2:17, when you were mounting the motor to the brass support, can you tell me what size of screw you used. I have a smilar motor I'm using to convert a plastic patrol boat to RC.

Hi, I haven't double check but I remember it is a standard M2 screw.

[@kantaponvongveeranonchai5120]

Can we use the receiver instead of the ESC?

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

Hi, receiver is not conflict to ESC. The ESC is power for motors and receiver as well. On the other hand, receiver control the ESC output power via signal wire. I guess you mention for a sort of receiver integrate with ESC, that's available.

how to connect the four motor in one ESC?

[@Hugo-ot7xu]

Hi, just sort out the motors' wires via larboard/starboard and test one side of them in correct rotation. For the ESC with just two wires output, we have to weld four power-supply wires into two junctions. Then other opposite two are inreverse, similary, welding four junctions from both side into two junctions to connect with the ESC.

thank you...
