RC Model Warship Combat - NTXBG

[@craZivnProductions]

I wanna see a game with a model Titanic being chased around the pond by a remote-controlled iceberg.

[@ed-venture7963]

That video exists

[@dangerous8333]

Huh? How stupid. Just the whole idea.

[@mikemalone4013]

Funny funny haha if that one exists I want to see it🧊⛴🛳

This needs to be a televised sporting event!

[@crunchie9362]

for real, from all different ages

[@williamavery9185]

Begtter than robot wars for sure.

[@simunator]

battlebots will make do for now

[@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor]

or if not televised, at least live streamed over here on KZbin

[@timothyjones9430]

This was fantastic!! IM a Navy War Vet DD-990 Destroyer. Countless hours on watch me and my crew talked about doing exactly this!! That was back in the mid 90s. I currently live on a remote island in American Samoa. I will find you someday and visit your club. Well DONE!

[@glennboyd939]

Think of a big one, 2ft X 15ft, with a single person operating each turret via tele link. Break it into 9 watertight bulkheads for transport. Sheet Metal is easy. R/C boilers too. Video stoker would be interesting crew job.

[@Why_are_you00]

I would love to see this with ships from the age of sail, where the broadsides would be limited by a randomized timer to represent the training of the crew.

[@Mystickrage]

Honestly that wouldnt be much more work then the ones they have just need tiny little motors to help when winds are unfaverable with steering and driving

[@BoleDaPole]

Or just train tiny fleas to do it, they could shoot grains of rice split into 4 at each other

[@thekingghidorah93]

A duel between two carrier fleet teams would be awesome! They can partner with people who can retrofit model planes with bombs or something!

[@rainingbloodfromalacerated4551]

I would watch that

[@V2011F]

oh my god quick get them on the phone while I call the RC Tank battalions this will be a RC war to remember

[@zeezumg8894]

thekingghidorah93 I would defiantly take part in a battle like that

[@yagoovirus2751]

thekingghidorah93 it would be op fighting planes without aa guns

[@joshuachoi8203]

Explosives are banned in most battles

[@DanielMendoza-qq5pv]

Its all fun in games until the guy with a RC U-Boat shows up.

[@Cr4z3d]

ahah

[@serhesdfg]

I see what you did there

[@vencent8329]

Daniel M. american like show up you know

[@seven9766]

With explosive Torpedos. That would not be fun to repair time and again.

[@farmvideosnet]

Daniel M. Only until they start developing scale depth charges! Then the guy with the u-boat will need scuba to retrieve his radio gear! I Can only imagine what a weighted M80 with a a waterproof fuse would do!😮😲😭

[@burtgummer463]

I'm going broke from seeing all these cool videos of different hobbies that I can jump into. Thanks!

[@PanzermansBunker]

Combines 2 great activities. ....model building and shooting stuff. Bravo y'all. Bill.

[@temprs]

When I was in like 3rd grade my friends and I wanted to do this... That was like 20 years ago. Kinda cool people actually do this

[@erikb-w3w]

I'd love if this could be done with RC tanks, with cameras for aiming and real damage done to the models.

[@christhut8140]

People do this. Lookup rc tank battles

[@ProfessorToadstool]

why cant it be?

[@christhut8140]

@@ProfessorToadstool people do it

[@jamesbreeden3061]

I can see an RC model company start making these ships and then they could develop rules on what you are permitted to do. It would be very big. It could have international competition. Who needs the NFL on the weekends.

[@johngibson2884]

Incorporate RC bombers ...big time cool

[@ProfessorToadstool]

and it would be ruined, instantly

[@ProfessorToadstool]

if you wanna do it, go do it, but no one is gonna hand you a pre built boat to play with you will need to develop THAT skill set too...

[@BertieW0oster]

Awesome hobby, I wish I had one of these clubs close by! They should make the life rafts serve as the floats- though they may be too small to do any good in recovery.

[@ProfessorToadstool]

neat idea for the life rafts build it and they will come if you find an rc club and you already have a boat ready to fight, SOMEONE will take you up on it i bet

[@jakeburke7651]

aw hell yeah, my grandpa served on the Missouri and was actually there when the Japanese signed the treaty and surrendered on the very same ship!

[@asully3006]

They are steel, so they don't really cause environmental damage, as opposed to lead used by hunters or recreational shooters. Real warships have been sunk just to create artificial reefs

[@isaacwood4071]

I'd show up with a full sized model that shoots 230mm shells

[@michaeldilger9582]

Just show up with the cheapest boat you can build. with a Grenade

[@malnutritionboy]

[@Taskforce1x1]

God Bless Texas! I love it! This takes modeling to another level!

[@johnboy2266]

Put a thin layer of silicone around the electronic connections and servos they will last a bit longer when they get wet, put some foam in there too, add some fiberglass to the lower hull after every battle, cheap and strong...wow that looks like a lot of fun though...

[@CollinThegamer]

But then you weigh it down

[@CS-zn6pp]

This could be so much different with 2022 tech. GoPro's on the ships for aiming wold be a great start.

[@votpavel]

kids are so damn talanted about details these days and all the parts available,i want to see more as well

[@alfamonk]

if the scale is so imporant they should stick to scale speeds too..make it realistic.

[@felneymike]

One of my friends at school used to tell me he had a video (as in a VHS, this was 1996) of some massed RC battle with tanks, aircraft and ships - including to-scale aircraft carriers launching whole squadrons. But he might have just been making it up XD

[@cianmac3934]

Ya true

[@pbhurley19]

When I was in highschool in 2007 I talked to my cousins (who build real planes for a living and RC's as a hobby) what it would take for me to build a battleship with working armaments so i could have battles with someone if i could get the idea for fleet battles to gain traction. They said not much but Goodluck finding people who would want to participate. I know this video is 9years old but it's cool to see i wasn't alone in my thought process to see this become a reality. Super cool to watch 😁

[@drainscholar]

now stick some fpv on those boats and have working gun sights

[@Mike9201984]

And do the same to some aircraft.

[@gsp49]

Wha is fpv?

[@rocketraccoon1976]

Additional ideas to try out: 1. Ship Armor - secretly line the inside of the hull with a thin layer of Kevlar backed by thin titanium plates. 2. Ship Flamethrower Gun Battery. 3. Explosive Incendiary BBs. 4. Helicopter Pad for Drone Attack Chopper armed with those firecracker tubes that shoot out multiple sparking projectiles. 5. Ship to Ship Missile Battery (firecracker tubes as above). 6. Ship Laser Gun Battery (Aren't there laser devices that can set flammable materials on fire if they're kept focused on the same spot?). 7. Helicopter Drone armed with a large magnifying lens (only on sunny days). 8. Ship Defensive Missile Battery (shoot down drones with skyward aimed firecracker tubes). 9. Ship BB Machine Gun Battery. 10. Ship Self-Destruct Capability using a single interior BB gun aimed at a pack of tannerite (will also destroy/damage nearby enemy ships). 11. Misc - Submarines, Torpedoes, Depth Charges, Ship Sonar (fishing sonar/radar device vs. submarines).

Noone has ever been born with technical know-how, including these guys. It is something they all had to get for themselves, as everyone can. Just read a few hobby magazines, borrow a few books, find a few people to talk to, etc, and it will come. But the biggest thing is just get some balsa wood, a sharp knife & some glue and start playing around, and expand from there.

Two things I always wondered about these boats. How do the guns work and how do they keep the electronics dry? I think I got an answer the 2nd one. They don't. You get to much water and things quit working.

you coat most electronics in resin thats at least what i do with mine. for the rest most of the stuff is not super high voltage.

I bet this is waymore fun then playing video games ... actually heading out to a lake with your friends, tinkering around RC servos etc you learn stuff about electronics, model building, and most of all have real fun.... it would be even more fun if you had artificial islands or some sort of obstacles where ships could take cover or make it more tactics based then spray and pray... maybe a timer based firing mechanism to simulate real "loading" maybe a long range cannon type that could fire from distance etc... interesting hobby.

Hahahaha they have freaking pumps wow amazing.why not make the electronics waterproof????

[@acolyteoffire4077]

a ship with a non failing water pump is a bit un sporting i would think. then the ship would never sink.

[@brrebrresen1367]

unless its a limit on how much cubic\minute they can be, then you just got to make more holes than the pump can handle. waterproofing controls and fire mechanism would though be a good anyway unless you like to buy shit-tons of em.

[@gregharris1966]

Børre Børresen , the electronics are waterproof. All very easily done.

[@brrebrresen1367]

Greg, they are clearly not here since the servos died from water. and waterproof and water-resistant are 2 different things, but then... think it's more a cost vs use situation, simple servos can handle some water from time to time if then propperly dried after and costs 15 times less than waterproof ones, and you also have a possebility that someone shots the servo and in that situation you don't want a expensive one....

[@gregharris1966]

Børre Børresen , well I have 5 of these ships , all of them run every month , fight get sunk , sink others. Radio receivers are upto 10 years old and counting. Wiring lasts at least 10 years , brushless motors 1 failure in 10 years. Lipo batteries 6/7 years before they started failing on me. Servos , boards are waterproofed with scotch kote , motors last around 12 months , then I change them for $1.20 , ultimate failure point is the feedback pot, at around 2 years. Then I gut the servo , remove the limit stops , solder new wire and plugs to the motor and hook it up to a ESC , and a proportional radio channel , provides turret rotation . All that from $10 servos , not bad I think .

exactly! everything would have everything should be as close to scale as each other. the ships would have to be HUGE, and bigger planes would be easier to operate the weapons on slower more stable planes. i almost forgot attack helis and subs.
