Hello everyone!
I'm a newbie on this forum and got back into RC boating after 30 years. Received my Blackjack 42 last week and can't wait to get it in the water but I am doing the right thing and prepping the boat the best I can before the maiden run.
Thanks to everyone here on the forum and on YouTube that has taken the time to provide extremely valuable information on how to address some of the issues with the Blackjack 42 to make it more stable, reliable, and just more fun on the water. Here is my "pre-flight" maintenance list that I am working on (let me know if you have any recommendations or questions):
1.) Grease the flexshaft and align it with the collet
2.) Pool noodle fix for securing the batteries about an 1.5 inches from being all the way forward
3.) Seal the through-hull grommet for the stuffing tub
4.) Drive dog spacing and thrust washer - I could use a little help here - I've seen some people using a stainless steel drive dog with a thrust washer and I'd like to install them but I'm not sure which ones to get.
5.) Reprogram the ESC - increase the Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) value
I think that's about it for the "must do" list.

Have fun and be safe.

Cheers,
