Battle for the upgraded 1944 Normandy LCM3 Barge | RC ADVENTURES

In the face of encroaching flood waters, an urgent mission unfolds as my home faces a relentless deluge. But the solution goes beyond a simple upgrade to my trusty RC boat - it's a call to action, a test of skill, and a journey that harkens back to history.
Enter the stage: the Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM3 Normandy 1944), a vessel steeped in the echoes of World War II. This iconic craft, a symbol of fortitude, embarks on a contemporary scientific odyssey as we brave the flood waters. Its rugged history blends seamlessly with the modern-day challenge, embodying both resilience and a storied past.
Join me on this gripping expedition as we harness cutting-edge RC boat enhancements, pitting technology against the tides. Our chosen vessel, the LCM3, stands not only as a testament to innovation but also as a tribute to the valiant spirit of generations past. As we navigate the waters that now threaten my home, we pay homage to history while crafting a new chapter of our own.
Witness the synergy of history and modernity as we carve a path through the turbulent waters, driven by an unwavering determination to overcome adversity. The flood may surge, but so does our resolve - united with the indomitable spirit of the LCM3, we surge forward into the challenges that lie ahead.
Embark with us on this remarkable voyage, where the surge of flood waters is met by the surge of human ingenuity. Together, we navigate the currents of history, ever-mindful of those who came before, and resolute in our pursuit of a brighter, drier future.

When I was a kid we lived on a steep hill & it would pour rain & my parents would let me go out & play so I’d go straight for the water rushing down the hill & id make little boats to float them down over & over it never got old & even to this day I’m still mesmerized by RC boats man had we had them growing up it would’ve been epic. The kid in us is always there trying to get out. Thanks for bringing back those good memories.

I was an engineer on mike boats in the army and loved them! we would do missions near virginia beach and would anchor up there and enjoy the beach on our down time!

I operated them in Sardina Italy in the early 80's. Love the Detroit 6-71 diesels.

Love the vid Bro. I'd of thought you'd get the jet boats out. That Creek is amazing. It was always my dream to have something like that at the bottom of my garden but it would be a Stream or a Beck. 😉

The water is running fast! Great video as always. Cheers

[@nealkrueger6097]

I have a small question re the battery swap , could you add a watercooled heatsink to the motors to moderate the heat? Or try to run them in mineral oil like some computer modders do when they over-lclocking cpu chipsets?

[@amartinjoe]

that is so cool!!!!

[@EZEfallout]

Amazing. I wonder if an R/C African Queen can handle those rapids? 😆

[@GUDDAisHere]

Love this vid!

[@cjdavis2684]

During the war , especially Normandy the landing craft did not have the bottoms of the hulls painted Red or black. the hulls were painted the color of the mother ships hull and superstructure to conceal it. if the bottoms had been painted in the red which they very seldom were most landing craft from the WWII era had the lower hulls painted black. But during the war they were the color of the mother ship to conceal them... and the lettering and numbers on the boats were small so as a plane or submarine could not see them well. during Korea on the landing craft lower hulls started being painted black below the waterline. the letters and numbers were enlarged, and the interior decks were also painted darker on some landing ships

[@Matt-it8jh]

Think you need some spare motors for when it's flowing like that lol. Something made to take the power.

Natural gas is on the way, they are paying gas fitters from Alberta $200,000 a year plus moving expenses. I guess they say there is going to be 10 plus years of work getting all the bluenosers all hooked up n cookin with gas.. just got back from PEI, i love it out there, so flat n dry out west

He has his phone in his pocket when he crossed the stream

[@Troublingarcher7]

Aw man I know I'm late but I was thinking about how cool it would be if you could add like a controller to automate the boats on the lake and have them just run little cycles of stuff. Like the tugs going and helping and other boats docking and undocking and stuff. Idk I'm high and idek if that's possible but it'd be cool!

[@kellogsdadfa3683]

put some jet motors on it then won't have to worry about weeds in the props
