2007 Ohio RC Warship Combat Highlights

[@GetBlitzified]

@maxbie123 Great question, there is actually a device inside the ship that senses that the water level is too high so it releases a small float that is attached to the ship. Once they find the float, they ring em' in.

[@patchwork45]

Thanks, Im glad you liked it.

[@patchwork45]

Thankyou, Im happy to promote the hobby. Its fun making the videos and battling an't to bad either.

[@patchwork45]

Glad you liked it, was great fun to put together

[@patchwork45]

The ships are equipped with a float.,usually a loose piece of superstructure attached to the hull with a long piece of string . When the ship sinks the float rises to the surface so the ship can be easily located. We also look for shallow ponds..:)

[@pyr0tecnick]

thanks

[@ikewilbur4463]

I remember the first time I watched this I could not get this song they are playing which fits the video out of my head for about 3 months.

[@patchwork45]

Yeah, I liked the Greek chorus in the 300. Im glad you liked it,hoping to make some more this summer

[@nav2491i]

thanks,and more power to your navy!

[@Xavi997]

@AntDX316 I had the same idea to, but BB plain's will be hard unless there's a camera display on your remote control.

[@gargoylemon]

haha that was cool i think someones turret poped off at 1:29/1:30 also liked the music choice very epic =b

[@patchwork45]

@101popster Of the ships in this video, none of the turrets rotate or move up in down, although they can according to club rules.

[@patchwork45]

Depending on what Rc stuff you already have and your skills, $200 and up. Glad you liked the vid.

[@trav1971]

This is so cool!How do you get started in this?

[@hoppa131]

Nice did you build these ship by yourself or you bought it?

[@patchwork45]

Hello, Im not sure what you are asking, I build my own rudders but you can buy them from Battlers Connection and other places. if you mean the waterproof servos for the rudders I use standard Hitec servos and waterproof them with scotch guard electrical water proofing and use an oring and grease around the drive spline. If you you want to know about firing the guns we use clippard mini penumatic fittings. For more information Google Battlers Connection, Model warship Combat and ircwcc.

[@patchwork45]

Thanks!

[@patchwork45]

@shogomad Glad you like the Vid, Yes,we have a lot of fun!

[@patchwork45]

Thanks

[@patchwork45]

@ThatMattador all the ship in the fideo are armed wit cannons,powered by co2 that fire BBs.

[@patchwork45]

@mickeymickey0812 , Of the ships in this video, none of the turrets rotate or move up in down, although they can according to club rules.

[@patchwork45]

Yes, BB's I never know what country questions are coming from so I usually give the dia and material when questioned about ammo.

[@patchwork45]

@bigolotube Thanks!

[@shogomadBFG]

Cool vid, looks like you guys have alot of fun.

[@patchwork45]

Battlers Connection Sells semi kits,but to find a completed ship you would need to find someone in a club thats selling one. Try going to the rc Naval Combat site, they have a "for sale" section.

[@aspyromilios]

Many questions !! What weapons do these ships have?? And what is their hull made of?? Also how do the weapons manage to sink the ships and last what do u do if your ship sinks?

[@randomguy9898]

1. bb cannons. 2. Fiberglass or wood, with "windows" made of balsa armor, this is what takes the damage. 3. The ships have bilge pumps to pump out water, but eventually with enough shots from the cannons penetrating the balsa "windows", the water will come in faster than the pump can get it out, and the ship will sink. 4. Ship is retrieved, armor is patched up or replaced, cannons reloaded.

[@patchwork45]

@mickeymickey0812 The ships are easy to repair. All the electronics are in water tight boxes ,We plug the bb holes with silkspan and glue and can be back on the pond in minutes.

[@patchwork45]

The easy/cheap way to get started is to join a local club and buy a used ship. google R-C Naval Combat and look through their list to find a club close to you. You arnt suppost to ram or sink a ship by ramming but it happens. It doesnt destroy the ships,they are designed to sink ,eveything inside is waterproofed.

[@SuperSnakeman101]

i want one of these!!

[@patchwork45]

search for battlers connection,they have recommendations for skill level for their kits, just pick out one that fits your budget

[@eddingtonrailroading]

“Those have got to be the best pirates I’ve ever seen” “So it would seem”

[@patchwork45]

do a search for Battlers Connection. They have recommendations for skill levels, just pick out one that fits your budget.

[@patchwork45]

We use a pond in Ravenna and we also battle in Newark. Google R-C Naval Combat and look for Washington Treaty

[@patchwork45]

the ships are modeled in 144:scale and are built with 1/32 sheeting above and below the water line. the cannons are made of plumbing fittings that fire 177cal bbs. CO2 from a paint ball tank regulated down to 150psi is what is used to fire the cannons. All the ship controls and cannons are handled by hobby RC radios You can learn more by googling...Battlers Connection.....ircwcc....model warship combat and rc naval combat.

[@johnofnz]

What weapon systems are used? this looks awesome

[@hrichards2785]

thank you

[@nav2491i]

@patchwork45 but those sites seems to be old. and i cant find one here in california. what state are you in?

[@Sargonarhes]

that is so cool. words can not do this justice.

[@bones994]

Where in Ravenna do you do this. It would be fun to watch.

[@patchwork45]

they are either built from scrach or built from semi kits. google Battlers Connection and Model Warship Combat for more information Thankyou

[@patchwork45]

Yes, the ships shoot 4.5mm steel balls powered by co2 and the ships do sink. if you are interested, google, model warship combat and ir/cwcc

[@RLouie]

You should mod your ships. Take them apart and add a small flamethrower. There are a lot of videos that you can check out to find a small one

[@patchwork45]

The song is "He's a Pirate" from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. Ill Have to check out the game.

[@patchwork45]

Georges plans are all in 144th scale.so if thats the scale you want your good to go. the only other thing is that you might have to make your own rib patterns. I usualy make a couple of copys of plans so I can cut them up for deck ,keel and rib patterns and still have the original plans intact.

[@patchwork45]

@mickeymickey0812 The float comes loose from the ship but is still attached by a long tether so when the ship sinks the float rises to the surface and the ship can be found by following the tether from the float to the sunken ship

[@patchwork45]

Have fun, good luck!

[@patchwork45]

Welcome aboard!

[@patchwork45]

your right, its 6 feet. We build to 1:144 scale

[@patchwork45]

This could be a good chance for you to start up a club in Scotland..get some friends together build some ships and have fun! Some sites Id recomend for more information are; Battlers Connection ,IRCWC, Model Warship Combat and RC Naval Combat

[@SpartanZN3]

you know, i think that if they used a slow motion camera instead of showing it in real time, it would look cooler

[@patchwork45]

Flying off carriers would be a lot of fun, but the most popular scale for this hobbie is 1:144 and that is too small for rc planes. Thanks for the input

[@patchwork45]

@malavera60666 Yes, co2 powered bb cannons

[@patchwork45]

Thats a good Idea, Thanks

[@patchwork45]

try going to a local club,see if someone has a complete ship for sale. Search for IRCWCC and Model Warship Combat for listings of local clubs

[@patchwork45]

@Datruef4ble BB cannons, go to Battlers Connection to check them out

[@boredguy52]

i always watch these hoping to see a giant catfish will go for one of the small boats

[@j0ehellm0n]

hey im new to the rc warship combat and i want a smaller sized ship thats good for begginers i just want a fiber glass gull then ill move on to the balsa and silk span hulls P.S alittle on the cheaper side

[@NIGHTMARE5008]

They shoot water in order not to sink.When the water reaches a specific amount in the ship one generator tries to throw it out.

[@j0ehellm0n]

there a uss brooklyn in there ive been looking at one so i can see what it can do

[@Willz08z]

I personally would use a rc sub

[@redwings5100]

@patchwork45 where do u get these battleships i want to buy one

[@patchwork45]

You should check out some of the "Big Gun"sites

[@aasherahmed4389]

0:55 there she goes

[@patchwork45]

its leagle, but hard on the little destroyer. it wouldnt have happened except the destroyer lost power and was at the Yamatos mercy.

[@SuperPlemons]

@439sparky1 no itsfrom pirates of the caribean 1 originaly

[@patchwork45]

She had a rough time with the Yamato.

[@patchwork45]

Do searches for "Battlers Connection" and "Model Warship Combat"and "IRCWCC"

[@patchwork45]

I have a friend that runs the modelboatmayhem site in the UK and he says that the he doesnt think they play because of the gunlaws...too bad cause its a lot of fun with hardly any danger.....

[@dodoslovensko]

Hi friend. I am interested to know what water pump u guys use to pump the water out? i want to put it inside my 1/16 rc tank. THANK u .

[@Apollokenney]

Where do you get the kits?

[@patchwork45]

she was out classed and out gunned but still beat up the frenchmen pretty good.....dont be afraid of taking on the big guys, they sink just like everyone else.

[@Tuner010]

Hello I'm trying to find a group to do this near or in my state of Washington. Ok for those of you, who aren't use to this. The scale size is 1/144 of the actual ship. Balsa wood is used for construction by some. The projectiles are ball bearing BB's. You have to build them from scratch. Yes you can used a model but it will have to be the scale I indicated and there's certain things that are needed for making one. I haven't made yet either but I know where I can get instructions for the insides.

[@officialofawesumness]

1:29 Headshot?

[@patchwork45]

yes, the destroyer was dead in the water so "Godzilla" used his bilge pump to sink it.

[@patchwork45]

I built the HMS NewZealand and got the plans from a guy in our club..What plans are you looking for,maybe I can help.

[@101popster]

do the turrets rotate?

[@j0ehellm0n]

im going to buy some servos and one of there smaller cannons then make a popsicle stick pt cruizer then go build another to see how well they doo with me luck because i they work im makeing a video response and a how to video

[@pimptacular]

Would be more interesting if you added on flame throwers....

[@patchwork45]

Well....The Hms New Zealand is a british INDEFATIGABLE class battle cruiser, George Goff has them for $22.5 shipped. If you want a copy of my plans Id be more comfortable if we settled on a price, paid up front, then Ill send you a copy. That way I dont have to worry about loosing them, Im sure you understand

[@littleluisiscool]

to retrive sunken ships tie a fishing line to the boat let it loose in combat then reel it in when sunk

[@Gorbachev]

.177 is just ordinary BB's like I used to shoot out of my Daisy, right?

[@SuperPlemons]

jack sparow wont have as much trouble with the kracken now (the musics from pirates of the carribean

[@Tofu6464]

yea like the b-17

[@patchwork45]

That would be Kewl!

[@nav2491i]

[@Benfro89]
