inline cat rudder seperated for offset
carbon fibre added to inside, battery trays removed, custom motor mount

[brad65]

I didn't think carbon fiber was plyable? How did you reinforce with carbon fiber, could you explain more on the that?

[ozzie-crawl]

its carbon fibre cloth that you lay in and add your epoxy/resin same as fiberglassing

thats is so cool! how much weight and strength did you add?

[ozzie-crawl]

My Blackjack 26 Brushless using Mamba Max ESC at 20 degree timing, 1500 KV motor, Stock Prop ,4900 Mah 22.2 v Li-po's and a Spectrum Telemetry Rx. It was clocked at 58 KPH (36 MPH) with a Bushnell Speedster Radar Gun.

My new modded version has the Feigao 8xl motor, Hydra 240 ESC, Octura x642 prop, Trak Power 4900, 2s, 25c, 7.4v, Angled and raised turn fins, and weighing in at 5.1 LBS.
It has yet to hit the water as the electronics need to be hard wired and the batteries need to be set in the hull. So as soon as I have that done and there is a nice day to drive it I'll take her out with my camera and radar gun and report the results.

interesting.... What did you do to the rudder? Is that a completly different setup or modded stock drive setup.

It's a completely different strut/rudder setup. I purchased it from O.S.E. (Product ID: tfl-502b15), and the tons of holes in the ass end of my boat are due to the other mod I did. I put three rudders on as I wanted the looks and the water pickups, but since I'm getting two new boats, I figured I would use the rudders for them instead.

Very nice, I bet it runs night and day different than the stock drive setup. I have an apache24 that has almost the same rear u-joint setup rudder system as the blackjack26. I like this setup better than my half a** rig of locking the stock rear drive and adding a right side rudder. But it does drive much better though.

I'm hoping to see mid 40's to 50's with what I have in the boat, as with the stock equipment I hit the mid 30's. I'll be taking her out for her maiden run of the new equipment tomorrow.

Mid 30's

Stock motor
Stock prop
Stock ESC
2x 4900mah, 25c, 7.4v lipo's
Stock weight
Stock CG

Hopeful speed of 40's-50
Feigao 8xl
Octura x642
Hydra 240
2x 4900mah, 25c, 7.4v lipo's
5.2 LBS Wet
CG 7.5" from transom

nice, keep us posted with speed trials i have yet to get a reading from my GPS i have now moved to 6cell 30c lipo, i had weight issues and think i have sorted this its now like a rocket will keep you posted

[Blackjack-sven]

I went to the pond today to do test runs but I ran into two problems.

1. the drive flex shaft came out of the coupler leaving the motor spinning with the coupler.
2. The boat danced from right to left drastically, making a top speed run impossible.

I did however get a half speed run of 34mph before the shaft popped out.
Any thoughts as to why the shaft came out in the first place, and why the boat is bouncing left to right?

Try removing the turn fins
