About my Black Jack 26 EP... Today I made one final mod to the hull and hatch. I made it a convertible cat and I removed and repositioned some of the stickers it comes with to make it even lighter. Doesnt look bad. Seems like a convertible cat with two pilots ,after Sunday I will post new pics of it running and a close up pic. I am working with my digital cam ,because today I noticed that it can record short video clips.

Also on my Novak ESCs I never used the factory cooling fan. I use the small Radio Shack brushless cooling fans. I consider the factory ones weak and not fast enough to cool...!!!Last edited by hex-dj; 06-14-2008, 03:05 AM.Comment

And you cannot connect a fan to the ESC. It steals a lot of current from it.Comment

I remember when I ran my fan cooled boats... Everything was different from a water cooled.Comment

Hello blastoff. I think I gave the right advice to you on the ESCs. About my BJ 26...I just finished scuffing the bottom and sharppening the blades even more.Comment

Here are a few pictures of my rescue boat, I have made pretty much the same mods (brushed) and it must do just under 39Comment

Jeepers, did you look at what I am using? I have yet to come with a GPS shot ,because I wrote about GPS numbers at first here,but it was because a friend of mine had the gun .I dont have one myself and by using the tips and info estimate chart on this site I am supposed to do 60 MPH if you use the chart from OSE. Motor 2300 kv, cells 14 NiMH 2000 Mah and read well (4/5th)<---of sub-c cells, not as heavy as all other NiMH sub-c cells out there in the market.Iam using the lightest on a budget NiMH Sub-C cells on the market right now modified by me from 14 AWG to 12 AWG cable,not using LiPO yet.Notice the batteries were tightened using Home Depot stainless steel tip tie wraps which cost around $30.00 a package.Feather weight servo with Karbonite gears, hollowed and lightened motor mount,Aquacraft cooling jacket.Original ESC with a Novak 2700 mf Power capacitor soldered in the right place. Prop. is an Octura x 637 sharpened and polished by me,OSE straight coupler, notice the turn fins are shorter than normal and they were sharpened and cut by me,scuffed bottom.Removed and repositioned some stickers then added a small new sticker about hurst shifters, enhanced water holes for cooling, reinforced strut with better screws and hobby glue. Removed the pilot s cockpit top in the hatch and I am using a DSM transmiter with water proofed reciever. Shortened and angled the antena to the rear.If you want you can do the math on this sites tips and info boat MPH/speed estimate chart. Oh and about slippage since there is none for a catamaran , I wrote 22.5 % slippage ,because a cat is between a mono 25% and a Hydro 20% prop. slippage .Wanna race? I am saying my boat has to be seen to be believed when running, it has a lot of torque too...Also notice that the stock ESC can handle 18.0 plus volts and the motor 18.0 plus volts too .So I am not maxing them out yet!Racing on a budget is a reality with OSE. Steven s line is very true...OSE where racing on a budget is a reality...THX!Last edited by hex-dj; 06-16-2008, 02:41 AM.Comment
