Blackjack 26 back flip

[Blackjack-sven]

I drove my boat today and I noticed that it decided to do a back flip over a 2 or so inch wave at full tilt. Am I just going to fast or is my setup wrong?

The boat is completely stock except for the spectrum radio and I'm running 4600 NI-MH batteries.

I wish you had the video camera rolling at the time! Would love to see it...

I was the only one there yesterday. Today I'll bring the wife so she can tape the run. Maybe it'll happen again. lol

no flip this time

Ran the boat dry this time but I never managed to flip it, mind you I also placed the batteries as far forward as the stock trays would allow.

You were down at Humber Bay ?

YUP. and as you can see the water was very nice and calm even with 15+ km winds. I'll be there tomorrow as well with my bj and mini.

Sven- are you running lipo or nimh??? I am running nimh 8.4v packs.

[Blackjack-sven]

I'm running 4600 NI-MH 7.2V packs

NIce. I tell you the 7cell packs are awesome. I was running venom NiMH 7.2v 5000's

Been looking at the Blackjack 55 how do you like it???

[Blackjack-sven]

I have to say in general that I'm not at all impressed with Proboat. My Apache 24 went down like the Titanic (no foam) after the esc failed, my brand new Mini-c's included am radio has a severe case of locking up the servo, and my Blackjack 55 had a massive crack in the hull. My BJ 26BL seems to be the ONLY Proboat that has continuously pleased me so far. The 55 though has an incredible speed behind it and was fun to drive the first time it hit the water.

That crack is pretty rough. Did you bump something or was it a manufacturing goof up?

Thats about the same speed as the stock SV27. Are you still running stock equipment other than the cells?

I never touched anything on the water, and thats why I ran her on Lake Ontario. I was even way too scared to even flip her as she is worth 1700, so I never ran her flat out.
