I am sorry to hear about your troubles with the Blackjack. What happened to you is not common at all with these boats. Which Blackjack is it, the 26 or the 29? What batteries were you using?

Yes Scott at the hobby shop said the same thing .Motor was real hard to turn over before . I greased the prop shaft . Yes there was enough clearance at the thrust washer .could not turn motor over with my fingers when the prop shaft was out
