- This chapter focuses on getting some functioning 1/32 scale torpedoes finished up for the R/C uboat I've been building. One more video to follow showing the final assembly and functioning, firing weapons!
Your kids has such a cool dad
That was cool to watch. Your problem solving was great to see. Thanks for sharing!
Bob, simply enjoyable. I love your creativity. (And like many of my projects, I loved the "Ah, it's in the skimmer again!")
+Brett Bilbrey He uses his Little Boy Voice there, @ 14:25. And for us, we know his life is not entirely perfect, as there is always that damn skimmer!
I love this series of videos. Your skill set is impressive. Thanks for sharing them with us.
WOW Bob, Fantastic...Well done, CONGRATULATIONS !!
Wow...that was awesome. I have only two words to say.
" Tor-pay-doh.......LOS!!!!! "
Fascinating to watch. Thank you.
Another great build...! I don't know why you took it this far, seeing how the gas operated version seemed to be working just fine.. But I am glad you did because the new version with electronic guts for lack of a better word at the moment, seems to have a more realistic float or skim across the water when fired as some torpedoes do...! Keep up with the great engineering ideas, and before long I can see you sinking scale warships in your local reenactment port of call... LoL...! Great Job....!
That was very cool. great job
you can add a reduction gearing in reverse(there are small dc motor gearboxes on ebay that culd fit the torp.) , the ruber band spins slower than the prop. thus it needs more torque on the input of the gearbox to spin the output.That should extend the time the prop spins, only down side would be winding it up will take some time
Wow... Amazing.... Superb... My mouth open when i see it..
That was awesome build.

That is awesome. Your a genius. It will look fantastic once fired from the sub. Keep up the great work.
so if you want the rubber powered one to run longer, you will need thinner bands, the one you have now has too much torque and a smaller band would have less. its the same for rubber powered planes.
Very cool, I am working on some scale torpedoes at the moment. Judging by your video, I am overthinking a lot of things. I’m amazed you didn’t get the roll from the propeller thrust.
So... when are we going to see these fired out of the actual sub???
How about using a steel spring. Something like the spring that fitted inside a measuring tape to retract its tape back into the case. Then water-tight is no longer a problem.
Great job
Holy Smokes, this is awesome
What kind of timer module, capacitier and diode do you use? Could you give me the specifics?
Do you not have a complete built model video including the custom torpedoes you made? If so i cant seem to find it within your channel, only the individual bits
Ever done a AA battery drive one with air ejection for the tubes?
great thanks alot I'll probably be getting some torpedoes from you later on and do you like to experiment with torpedo ideas?
Have you considered running your torpedo from the power source of capacitors. They may hold enough charge to run the motor for a short time, which is all that you need. They are easy to charge and do not need to be vented whilst charging them (which is fast) . I appreciate all of your videos. Thank you.
Tried it. They work, but charging is a pain and you always run the danger of overcharging and having them explode.
You is tha' man' 👍🏼⭐️
Have you ever tried to fill the last part of the torpedo props haft full of grease?......that is how water proofing is done on my full sized 19 ft sailboats propeller shaft.
As I stumble across this I can't help but notice your cars. I know there's an r8 to your left but what is behind you?
Love it! So simple it has to be a winner! I can't see it scaling down to 1:72 scale though.
why does that music sound like the hangar/mission window from Mechwarrior 2? is it?
No, the music was customer composed for me by Tom Martin of OBT Music
Some kind of pressurized air propulsion might work well?
You are very cleaver. What does one of these submarine cost. They are so cool.
thinking they might ride just a tad high on the point....torpedos don't really have a "bow" so to speak....but they might run a tad faster without all that drag across the point of it....other than that, you remind me of another perfectionist friend who does model railroading...you two would get along great...great work...
yeah the only dilemma I have is the kit itself since they don't make them the only ones I've found were around $100-300
$100 is basically the cost of the kits anyway. This isn't some piddly boat kit.. it's HUGE! Great detail. Worth every penny of that and more. Grab it and be done with it.
its the outer body i have trouble with ,,got all internal sorted.
How about you use thinner elastic bands? I think it would spin a little slower, but it could dissipate the energy for a longer time and even accumulate more energy at all..
I don't think the energy that you could store would last longer than a second or two at best with the band's in such a small carrier. Build one and prove me wrong!
Can I build one in a larger scale, and make it autonomous GPS, with camera
To glide 10 feet below sea surface?
Maybe a gear box... For that rubber band torpedoes. Sustained energy
So cool!
Now for the actual "torpedo los" ! scene Bob, will you post a video of it in action?
where did you get the timers? I would like to order some
Will you make these torps launched from your 1/32 scale subs someday? Servo actuated torp hatches open, and torps are away! Would love to see it happens some day! It would be a beautiful moment.
do you know where i can buy some these torpedoes ? i would like some for my I53 im building. i am trying to find some tubes that are about 13-14mm by 120mm so i can make torps. but so far no luck
Dave, I don't know of a commercially available kit, however I hope to release one mid 2017
cool please let me know if you do, i also built a rc sub. i first built it in 2008 as a dynamic diver and i have since made it static. i have a couple of vids here on youtube, if you want to see them. search dave wright submarine and let me know what you think. im still teaching myself each time i build one. and your professional advice would help me.
wait have i missed the video of how the tubes work ?
Is there a CAD design of the bulk heads that you used that could be available to us? What thrust bearings did you use?
Hey RCSubGuy im new to your channel i stumbled upon this looking up submarine vids i model Trains in HO scale so i love your content i was wondering if you hold onto your models when your done completing them and if so have you ever done a collection video ? Thanks take care - Matt
Amazing! Thumbs up
thanks and what do you think of the revel gato rc subs do you have those or not? I'm looking for a new hobby and I love subs so this is perfect
The Revell Gato is a great boat and a very cost-effective way to get into the hobby. Conversion kits and SubDrivers can be purchased from www.sub-driver.com. Big sale on the cylinders right now there... about $100 off.
Awesome!
sorry have to ask - whats the car in the background? not a 918 spyder is it?
+JoeOvercoat that could be a reflection of the opposite side of the frame. But I went back and looked at 918 pics, I now think it is not a 918, the spoiler is different.
dude I went to your website and I need help on how to buy the German type ix submarine need a lot of help reply plz
The Type IX kits are available online from a number of vendors. You're looking for the Revell kit in 1:72 scale. I sell much of what you'd need to convert it to RC on my site at www.nautilusdrydocks.com
Balast it to ride slightly lower in the water
+Ben Hebert Then it just needs a proximity fuse and explosives and boom! ...he'll break the back of that inflatable chair yet!
JoeOvercoat hehe
@@JoeOvercoat Or he could add a spring-supported tip and just add sodium into the torpedo. Whenever the tip hits something It gets pushed in, water floods into the torpedo and the chemical reaction between the sodium and the water creates an explosion.
Do you sell all the stuff in a kit form to build?
No, I do not at this time. Too expensive and too much liability.
@@RCSubGuy
Hi again
Thank you for the reply
Since you are not making them.
Is there any chance about a parts list, plans, and the places to get the parts needed.
Thank you again for your time.
Like watching your videos please keep up the great work and have a great weekend.
Ronald
@@ronaldlundelius6360 This was done over 7 years ago. Parts availability has changed significantly since then. I don't have a parts list and I never did plans. It was simply an experiment, not a product to offer. I wish I could be of more help.
Hey bob! What kind of diodes and capacitors did you use? Also what size shaft did you use?
Is this the only one youll build or are there similar models available for purchase
Want to see it actually launched from the sub.
MUITO BOM, VERY GOOD, BRASIL OK.
Hi, excelent, Bob !!!..How does the launcher work ? Do you use springs or compressed air ?
I just stumbled across your videos and enjoy the engineering aspect immensely. I was amazed at how straight and fast the torpedoes ran and wondered how they don't twist opposite the torque of the propeller. Is it the force of water pushing against the fins as they run that stops this?
Great job-now you just need to design a warhead and detonator...just joking!
The torpedoes do spin, but the fins create enough drag to allow the props to bite well.
The speed is too high. How to look for a torpedo after a miss ?
Now if the torp sailed couple more cm under water, and used a percussion cap to detonate say a forward replaceable section. that would be perfection..war games vs a tanker or troop ship :)
Like what I did 😉 good work 👍
It's so notice to get your reply soon. Since I am a 11years old boy, the 28 USD will cost me weeks of hard work to get it. Also,l am not quit sure you could mail the timer module to Taiwan. The shipping cost may even higher. Can you give me the scheme of the timer circuit,or allow me to ask for a lower price?
How do you recharge the torpedo battery?
The torpedo comes completely apart. the batteries can be removed for charging or replacement very easily.
Noble in background?
Good catch. Yes, that was my 2004 Noble
+RCSubGuy nice car and nice video :)
have you got these in 1/48 ?
do you sell these on your website
Absolutely. www.nautilusdrydocks.com
how much did just the torpedo system cost in this rc submarine?
This was a completely scratchbuilt system. No retail kit available as of yet. Sorry.
how much money was it for you to scratch build it?
No, unfortunately these are not available for purchase as they were a custom, one-off job. I hope to get a 32nd and 48th scale weapon added to my catalog within the next 6 months.
Do those torpedoes explode?
nice work mate! curious, is that a Noble M12 in the background of your shop?
it absolutely is!
+RCSubGuy that's rad! Would be a blast to drive I'm sure!
The air blows it out and has a magnetic switch to activate as it exits..
Roc torpedoes really love skimmers
Rc*
Where do you buy your propeller please?
the propellers came from a Chinese manufacturer called Arkmodel. I can supply the timers if you'd care to open up communication via email to me at bob@rc-sub.com
why you dont use a supercapacitor
Can you put your files here?
Hi Bob;I have sourced all parts for making torpedoes,accept props.Where did you buy them?Thank you
Honestly, I had those props left over from a past project and can't recall where I got them from. I can only suggest some thorough Web research. I'm sure they're out there!
GREAT INFORMATION!! THX!! ;-)
first viewing of these vids, quality work, my first thought... I'll bet hes divorced...lol
SIR! TORPEDOES TO PORTSIDE!
great...
you should sell these..iv been trying but iv not the tools you have,make most by hand,,would love one to scale for my type 2 u bout iv built,,
Spitze!
What, no warhead? :P
khi nào việt nam mới làm được điều này
man ideally, it would be a lot more realistic to have a reloading system in place. I know a lot of rc models just have single shot systems, and when they went to all the trouble to build a fully scaled model, and then just skimp on that detail, it's frustrating.
super
now put compressed air in the nose so when it hits it blows thru the nose into the ship and you get re pic lol
Subbed!
...Giggidy...
+LooneyJuice me too!
+Frankestein01nl Worth it!This stuff is pretty in depth.
+LooneyJuice well.. the torpedo's still run a bit "shallow" for now...
+LooneyJuice it's suberb
+Tom Schenkels sublime even
How much?
Take my 💰
LOS !!!!!!
You for got the shot gun primer ammonium nitrate model aircraft carrier killer warhead >:( muahahahaha!
