New and just getting into the hobby

Hello everyone I live near Pittsburgh and was hoping someone here could help me out. Is there any battleship clubs around me? And if so were do they have battles?

 

There are a lot of members in that area, I am sure they will be responding to you shortly.

 

Thanks I hope so I could get some info.

 

Hey Welcome aboard! you have chosen a perfect time to get in the hobby. you have a bunch of people around you and Nationals is in Bradford Pa. for 2016.

 

Hey, Rjs80, welcome aboard! You're in a great spot to get into the hobby. The IRCWCC (International Remote Controled Warship Combat Club) is located all around you. Nate Graham (president of the club) is about 3.5 hrs northeast of you in Bradford. If you can get hooked up with him, he can give you a good introduction into the hobby plus help you get started. send me a PM and I'll get you his email address.

Again, welcome aboard! I look forward to seeing you on the water.
Caleb

 

Thanks everyone. Where is a good place to buy a battleship on a budget.

 

Welcome Aboard.

 

Battlersconnection.com or strikemodels.com

 

Or if you'd rather have a wood hull, there's RCENG's kits http://www.jenkse.us/rcengr/Kits.pdf or Mcspuds pre-built http://mcspuds.net/spudwerks/

 

This could also be a good option. Not a battleship, but a great starter ship.

I think all marks kits are done by strike now, and thus unavailable at the moment. Mcspuds does awesome work though.

 

Hey guys one more question. We're do the local Pittsburgh area guys have there battles.

 

IRCWCC battles in Hagerstown Md. , Bradford Pa. and Coxsackie NY. Dates are not set yet, but will be soon.
