Blackjack destruction!

[Flying Scotsman]

Am radios and use corrosion X or another waterproofing method on the Rx prior to useage. My 2 cents

On the tactic and tower hobbies rx there is no antenna wire.

Ah, I see. What about the spektrum rxs that all have the short antenna? Any luck running those inside the hull or still need to be outside (as mine are currently...)?

Can't say. I don't own any spektrums. However, alot of guys here do. I think you can run them inside the hull as long as there is no carbon fiber. But don't quote me on that.

You can send back to horizon hobby and get a new boat, same thing happened to my friends bj, some of their am remotes have crazy range and some of them are bad from the factory. But i think you will want a free new boat instead of paying for a new hull and a 2.4ghz radio when this was not your fault

[6S HYDRO]

I run my spektrum wire inside the hull- no probs

[bobkatz]

I would love to get a new boat but i didn't buy it from Horizon Hobby and doubt they would take anything from anyone else.

[6S HYDRO]

Horizon hobby is the company that owns almost all the rc companies, the own proboat. In your manual there will be a number and an address to the horizon hobby service center. Send it there. Trust me

[bobkatz]

Thanks, i'll do that as soon as i get back home, i'm in georgia right now.

Just talked to them, the tech guy said to send it to us and they will evaluate the equipment. Is this common, i would hate to ship the hull and be told sorry about your luck and have to pay to ship the thing back.

I bought my BJ26 off of ebay. I called Horizon about my flex being seized. They had my info. already because I bought it off a authorized reseller. No problem. They sent me out the new parts without a hitch. It would definitely be worth a try.

[bobkatz]

Just to give an update on the destroyed bj, horizon covered it and i now have a shiny brand new bj!!!

[Doby]

Great,,,now relpace the radio with a Tactic 2.4.

[6S HYDRO]

yes immediately

[bobkatz]

Absolutely!

[blackcat26]

Will a 2.4ghz radio fix the problem of the boat going crazy while upside down in the water awaiting rescue? My BJ26 self-destructed the u-joint before I could get it back to shore with the stock system.

[Doby]

Yes.
