blackjack or sv (brushless)

[madmat]

lots of good info on this site still cant decide.I will run lipo's on either one.I have a villain 7.2 now and want to move up. thanks.

[txboatpilot]

I have both, they are both fun and fast ... IMO the SV27 handles better in the turns out of the box... The BJ26 handles rough water better out of the box.... I was not really happy with the BJ26 until I did a hardware upgrade .. That made it a wonderful little kitty!! Each hull has its up's and down's....Both will blow your Villain 7.2 right out of the pond!!

[madmat]

the thing is i dont want to do an upgrade right away.i put some money into a charger (bantam bc6)for lipos so i can use it for the boat and some cars. saying that what do you think as far as the boat goes? also for $400-$500 could i build a boat with no experience(brushless).thanx this site is graet.

[Ocean Racer]

It depends on the size of the boat and what speed u are looking for. Here a hull can cost inbetween $80-$675 its all up to u in how much u spend. A premade hardware system can cost $50-$95 or a custom system can cost u probably $60-$90 and Props are $5-$45. And a Brushless ESC will run from $23-$255 and a Brushless motor will run $60-$400. But if u want a premade Brushless system heres one. But remember its up to u on how much u spend and how much u want to put in the boat.

Mat any boat is what you make it. The question is not whats better but what do you like??? Do you like Cats, Mono's or hydros? Once you figure that out then you can look into what hull or rtr setups best for you. :)

[madmat]

tanx for all the links and info. i will look into a build with a mono hull that can get into the 30-35 mph range.may take me a while but its winter so i have the time. also i would like to get a hull that is 35 inch or so, ose looks to everything i will need.

[SJFE]

Good choice for a first boat. Good luck and be sure to ask questions before you buy or build:)

[madmat]

ok might have to move this do the build forum.delta force 33 or the aeromarine titan 33 look like what i would like.will the super v 27 brushless motor and esc work with this hull?maybe not the power it would need?

[txboatpilot]

You would be happy with both 33" hulls. The SV27 power system is not going to cut it for a hull of that size and weight.. Look at Feigao 11XL and 12XL, they will work w/ those hulls...Mabey a Hydra 120 esc or OSE has new 100A esc's w/ usb programmer (somewhere around $100) that should be on the site soon...

[txboatpilot]

You will learn alot and be more happy in the end, building one of these 33" V-hulls...They will handle rougher water and be more stable overall compared to the SV and BJ...

[madmat]

cool what about the speed master mono for the hardwere?sorry for all the ?just need to get an idea of the things i will need so i can figure out the budgrt.hull $140-170.hardwere $100 electrics?

[madmat]

ok 10xl $70.00 xpower 70 amp $65.00 will that speed control work for this motor

[madmat]

sorry 11-12 xl

[SJFE]

The speed master HW is very nice and quite user friendly to install. I would not go with the 70 amp esc. Go with the x100. You always want some head room. I would run a 9xl on 4s-2p or 12 nimh. That should give you a 40mph+ boat.

[txboatpilot]

Go with the 100Amp!!I have run a 11XL in the Aeromarine Titan 33" with a Hydra 120 and X447 and X645 with speeds of 44-48mph.. The Titan is a pretty heavy with 4S2P 5000's, the 11XL will allow you to run a large prop w/ less amps and heat!

[madmat]

sounds good for th esc (100amp) why the 9xl and not the 11-12?what is the difference rpms?

[madmat]

what about the hardwere?

[txboatpilot]

Speedmaster is great, OSE has it in stock most of the time!!

[txboatpilot]

9XL will turn more rpm and be faster with the same prop.. But it will pull more amps.. Be careful when running these esc's, keep the average amp range at around 70% of Max amps on the esc!!!

[madmat]

ok cool i think i will order the hull and hardwere fist. i think i will also call or email ose and let them know what i want to do so i can get all i will need.tanks alot guys.

[ReddyWatts]

Has anyone run the SV and Blackjack motors in the same hull for a comparison?

[SJFE]

No prob. Just be sure and go with a .150 drive cable. I think the set comes with it. If you want I can PM you a complete parts list so you dint miss anything.

[madmat]

cool i dont know how to do the pm. let me know . i alredy have a list in my wish list but know i am missing some stuff so that would be graet.

[madmat]

o ya did i mention i am VERY EXCITED TO DO THIS BUILD?
