The New BJ26

[SJFE]

Any of you guys who get the Horizon catalog may have seen this already. I personaly didnt catch it untill looking a few times. Proboat has come out with a new revision of the nitro bj26. It features an aluminum offset rudder(with pickup) and standerd strut. Maybe this will be the package for conversion that will have the most stable handeling yet...... By the middle of winter Horizon may have the parts avalable to order a hull and hardware. Question is whos taking one for the team?????

[Spot Me 2]

I might. What's the price point on the hull and hardware??

[SJFE]

I have no clue. I know the original bj nitro hull is around 130 shipped.

re new blackjack ss hardware

the aluminum hardware on the new blackjack ss looks pretty nice.

if it improves the handling of my brushless blackjack ill be definately buying this new hardware. the price looks pretty good for this hardware too.


it will be bye bye plastic crap hardware hello shiny red stuff.

that stuff looks like weak sauce, I would not use it for a fast boat; one spin out at speed and the hardware is toast (jmo based on the pics given by rcprince) don't get me wrong it looks nice, just not very sturdy.

Avanti, You have no experience with this hardware. Your comments are unfounded.

re new blackjack aluminum hardware

all i know is the stock plastic hardware that comes on the blackjack doesnt work very well.

the boat runs great in a straight line but turning with that stock hardware is another story.

im willing to try the new hardware as it cant be any worse than the stock setup.lol

[Avanti]

plastic sux but that thin aluminum is not much better.
the aquacraft hardware is far superior to the proboat stuff and even that stuff fails once you get over 40mph and spin out

you can plainly see by the pics that that pb hardware is thin, there for it WILL FAIL trust me

[Diegoboy]

The key here is to setup your boat properly so that it won't spin out @ 40+mph!

[egneg]

Until it spins out how do you know?

[Avanti]

Once you break a certain MPH range for a given hull, blow outs happen.
They are just a part of trying to go faster than the hull was meant to go.
Take the SV27 for example anything over 37mph in rough water and you will be sending out a recovery boat.

We are not all pros and blow outs are just a part of it, there for I would opt for stronger more proven hardware. SOLINGER, SPEEDMASTER, etc.....

[Avanti]

diego have you run the mamba yet?

[Steven Vaccaro]

Aqua stuff isn't much better.

The number one replacement item for the sv is?......
The hatch. Not the manufacturers fault.

Number 2 is?..........
The rudder blade.
