What a drag

[lance8563]

Just bought 2 new BJ 26 and they both shut off at full throttle! Spent around 900.00 for the boats and batteries and chargers to give me and my daughter some time to spend together and they both suck! My local shop says sorry they are yours now no help at all please someone help.

They shut off at full throttle?


What your saying is...


when you open it up completely the boat just shuts down?
does it restart?

[lance8563]

yes it will go again it just will not let me run full throttle.

yep that the ESC's you might want to invest in the program module and turn off the high volt cut off, Check the thread on the ESC shut down in the BJ category maybe you can get something from there. My Bj ran the beast on fully charged 14.4 volts 4200's mah tenergy batteries. I would get 12-15 min runs befor it cut out like that. Well good luck

Mine Did The Same Edzact Thing And It Was B/c The Batteries I Where Running Didnt Supply Enought Power.

mine too, but to get you gong before you get a programing module, have your controller turned on and you boat turned on and have someone hold full throttle when you plug in the second batt, and hold it untilll you hear a series of beeps (abtou 3 - 4 Seconds)

That will reset the factory ESC setting to a higher cutoff limit.(for that run only)

Good luck, let me know how you go.

What kind of batteries do i need? I have venom 7.2 volt 4200 and 3800.

i heard some bad news on those venom's.

definitely invest in some good IB cells. or some packs like Steven sells here in the store. Much better amp draws on the packs to give more power!!!

Off topic but ,just wanted to know... Does anyone know about which bearings to add for replacing the bushings on a Blackjack 26 or Super Vee 27? Steven???Anyone?

I would say the batteries are the problem. I bought some and barely got the boat on plane!
