BlackJack 26 Newbie

[Joe007]

Hi all, I have rc cars,truggy's and helicopters...
I just bought a bj 26 and would like some advise on what hop up's for the boat.
I am going to the lipo's bats and looked for a x642 prop, no luck... Will the aluminum x642 work? And for corning and stability what should I buy?
Thanks

Welcome to club BlackJack! If you are going to run LiPo, make sure you get the programing module so you can reset your ESC to LiPo mode. MaxAmps 2S 8Ks will run my stock boat for 15 minutes bfore they hit the LVC, but they get pretty warm (125-130dF) so I'm going to limit my runs to 10 minutes. Read the Fixing Blackjack 26 Handling issues thread for tips on how to help that part. I'd recomend a radio upgrade, and lots of hatch tape for starters. Keep your steering EPA/Dual rate on the low side and slow down for turns when you start driving. I'm glad I did some reading here first before I ran mine or I probably would have been swimming. Enjoy the new boat!
