Blackjack26 / SV27 brushless set-up?

[Piranha2]

Blackjack26 RTR $270.00 + SV27 BL power set-up $159.00 from OSE = $429.00 ??? A brushless 26" cat RTR for under $450.00? Is this possible? ...anyone want a .18 motor when I'm done?

I'm in the middle of converting a BJ-26 to DUAL brushless ( SV-27 Motors and speed controllers) , Have one set on hand from Offshore and another set on the way:D

Steve mentioned this should be a wild straightaway set-up with "interesting " turning characteristics.

Hope to have it in the water in 3-4 weeks.:p

Pictures will be coming soon.

well i built the bandit cat total 300 brushless same motor

Piranha that engine is a .15. It's going to cost more than 450. Unless you want to keep buying ujoints you will need to unstall a strut and rudder.
Doby...thats bad @@S man. You may want to just install the rudder upside down...it's going to be in the air more than water anyway:D.

[Piranha2]

Yeah, it was just a thought....I didn't realize someone would have actually tried it......not to mention x 2......(Doby)......that's gonna be one cat your dog ain't gonna mess wit'..........just got back from the pond and the SW 26 motor is screaming hot......the 7-cell 8.4v batteries used to be the part that got hot......not good !! And the Caribbean cruiser DOES NOT like 14 cells....oops....try, try.....fail again !! So let's see.....#1 boat....thrown away, #2 boat.....thrown away, #3 boat.....sank, #4 boat....cooked a motor (or 2), #5 boat......fried 4 battery packs.....all 5 AM radios......5 runaways, is it me or ???? is this priceless stuff ????? Should I go nitro or better yet, sail power ????

5 boats!!!

[Piranha2]

Well, I only have $275.00 invested in all 5 boats....only one was used and ended up getting it for free.....and $390.00 in batteries and a charger.....so far, 2 good solid runs out of 20......$665.00 for 20 minutes....seems fair. I have to figure this out soon before it becomes a money pit !

[SJFE]

The first thing I did after cooking 3 motors in a row was to stop spending money. The next thing I did was begin my education. Then I started spending money in the right places, well most of the time. I am at the point now where I know enough to make the realy big mistakes :D. My point is take a step back and decide what you want. 3 or 4 rtr sport boats or a single race quality boat.

[Piranha2]

I figure I'll keep smokin' the stock parts till they're gone and then have an excuse to hop them up and get more speed. The problem is I need to have 2 evenly matched boats so my boating buddy has fun too. Although he likes the crashes way too much.

[SJFE]

I think your problem may be that your buddy needs to buy his own boat.

[Piranha2]

He's my girlfriends son.....sad part is he drives better than me....

[SJFE]

kids gota lovem. My 6 year old daughter chews up the play ground with her mini inferno. The boys dont have a chance with there walmart bashers:D. Wont be long before i'm in her wake...lol

[Piranha2]

Yeah, he thinks rubbing is racing so we each have our scars.....lots of paint swapping.....he drives the Shockwave 26 with 7-cells and I drive the Caribbean Cruiser on 12 cells and twin 550's but with a Typhoon prop (slower, broke the stock one) so we are bow to bow......he wants 8 cells now......and I want 15 turn motors !!

[hammertime]

i wouldnt go with 15 turn motors they will burn up real quick

[Piranha2]

how about a Lehner 2280......I think I can fit that coke can in the boat....just hope it still floats !!!
