Black jack 24 seaking 3180kv motor seaking 180 esc balloons cheep lipos 50mphboat

Crazy that you bring that up, but the only thing that gets hot in my boat is the ESC power wires and the caps. I'm going to swap out the power leads to 10G wire and add a cap bank even if I don't run a higher KV motor.

Make sure you get a vid of your 4S fun with the Blackjack before something lets go! I can't really imagine how stupid fast it's going to be? You'll be pushing over 50,000rpm!

The Yeti has been a slick truck and I love how scale it looks, but I'm giving you a heads up that you have to sink a decent amount of money into it to make it fun and reliable. That picture isn't even the latest pics of it. I have a build thread on it. You can see what it takes to build what I consider the most bad ass Yeti possible. Even have full Boca Ceramic bearings in it.

There are better performing trucks out there for sure. I think it's an all around decent truck and looks killer.

I wish Tekin made boat brushless ESCs. My Yeti doesn't have one, but the Tekin R8 is a beast and would be a wicked boat ESC if it were waterproof. Pretty sure they are rated 220amp continuous.

Rpm,voltage,tempature,rx voltage ,for 133 bucks I got last
One at that price the rest are 180 I would have paid 300 no problem came with a lipo in remote also
Look it up Flysky fs-it4s its a 4 channel unit wow I'm happy I will deff take a vid
When I run ole blackie on 4s rpms will be less loaded but it will be insane I think if you add a cap
Pack your speedo wires will cool Down i they help with voltage spike

Hello

[Crazykev]

That's a sweet radio setup brother! I think adding some caps will help too. I put some extra wire loom I had laying around on my water feed lines.





Whatcha think? I like it

I do like the look of the black wire loom. Looks mean.

Daniel, I was looking at the pics of your Kintec strut and it appears you're running the prop shaft quite a bot lower than the bottom of the sponsons. Have you tried raising it closer to even with the sponsons? This is where mine was set when I first installed it and the boat ran too flat.

Then I raised it up so the bottom of the strut was about 1/16" higher than level with the sponsons. The boat runs much closer to the 1/3rd point on the hull and I picked up some speed as well.

Thanks man!


That's the depth I run mine at also. You'll pull less amps the higher you run it too Daniel! Depending on which prop I run, I go 1mm higher or lower, but always close to the strut being level with the bottom of the sponsons.

That loom looks awesome adds a nice touch
Y didn't I think of that thumbs

Black Jack 24INCH Upgrades

@Crazykev;670852 - nice upgrades mate! I just got my blackjack 24 and I am getting ready to do some upgrades myself.
I just want to get about 45 to 50 mph out of my boat and I think IF I do these upgrades I should be able to obtain that speed with these PARTS BELOW.
What are your thoughts?

Here are some pics of mine.







I had to epoxy the motor mount because the previous owner stripped out the nuts under the plastic that the screws thread into. It's lined up perfectly, shouldn't have to ever be adjusted and is stronger being epoxied into place. I see no reason to buy anything new because it works great. I wouldn't have EVER bought the Maxamps battery for the boat and already had the batteries for my Yeti.

@Crazykev - WHERE AND what size is that prop? I AM getting ready to buy the Octura m440 Sharpened & Balanced Prop from OSE and there upgraded drive shaft for my BJ 24''!
