Mate, thank you so much it is so interesting to watch your videos and a must say your voice the way you describe it. You are quite unique thing. I been asking myself. Why don’t we see you because I need to see you because your voice is so interesting at the way you talk the way you present Everything it’s very professional but very cinematic and I think we need to see you mate. We must see you I think you’re gonna have a lot more viewers. Believe me you’re gonna treat Quadri your audience when we see you. I hope to see you soon
Hey Big B thanks for all the info on the blackjack 24 and 42! My flex shaft was glued into the adapter and had to use some of the information you put out to get my blackjack 42 apart. I'm running gens ace 6800mah 120c batteries. The boat toques to the right out of the hole and just fly's now for some strut tuning. I did the Velcro in the battery tray and ordering RCBB for the 24 and 42. Thanks for all the good info Bro.
Looks great!!! I probably would of looked at this boat also if I hadn’t just got the 32” pursuit.. I’m happy also.. first run on mine the other day on 3s was 30mph. Was my first time ever driving an rc boat as well. But I love your content. Keep posting vids I’m learning a lot, Thank You Very Much...
This might be a good addition as it uses the same batteries as my new pro boat jetstream. Keep everything using 4S packs. Also looking at the 4S or dual 4S cars. The wire and cooling line management really show attention to detail.
I feel like i am going to school for rc boats...Great job! are you self taught in rc boats ? how many years have you been running them? thanks Again for sharing your rc boat knowledge and enthusiasm .
Personally I think the SonicWake would be better, it has self-righting, and lots of tuning options inside and out, the blackjack is my favorite catamaran in my fleet, she likes to flip at high speed so RCBB trim tabs is a must for the 42 and big 7600- 8000 4s × 2 packs to weight the bow down. SonicWake is basically ready to go out the box other than adding an extra cooling circuit.
Noticed that the hull gets pretty wet inside, my Zelos is bone dry only with the thumb screws. Wondering if this one leaks water and will need to be taped up to keep it bone dry inside? Also have you tried to make any strut adjustments to keep the front end down?
Seems like the front end likes to come up alot and your not even full throttle.. I might have to stuff some pool noodles inside.. Whats the average run time are you getting on 8S?
I've been getting around 7-9 min runtime on 6000mah 50c hrb x2. If you run the batterys forward Basically as far as they will go it stays down. That was my first run.. so I wanted to see the extremes forward and back with weight distribution
Just purchased the blackjack. Thanks for posting these videos. Would love to get a little help with this boat. I had horrible luck with a TFL Cheetah XL. It’s a 1,400 paper weight
I gota ask what should i get for the money honestly im kinda leaning towered traxxis but proboat does have a couple on sale at the moment i do have a 23 in sonicwake i put a brushless system in it. It works ok just not built for the power it will be when im done but i want a bigger one more power like 6s. You have had them all let me know what you think which is your go to favorite.
Hi have you tried the 9000Mah Zeee Batts on your Black Jack 42. If yes what is your opinion about the 9000 and the average runtime you get from it. I was thinking of buying them but cant find review. Are Zeee batteries reliable in terms of quality and longetivity. Id really appreciate your oppinon so i can make up my mind what to get thats best for the Black Jack. Thanks
I've used the 6000 100c on my 42 they're good batteries I haven't had any problems with them get I would say 10 minutes or more run time.. Most all lipo batteries are kind of hit-or-miss you know. Thanks for watching
@@IRONCLADRC Oh okay,there is a few guys that are using trim tabs to fix the issue on other boats my friend Garry I think is trying trim tabs today to see if it fixes the issue also he is changing the prop to bigger and better lipos..The Black jack42 reminds me of the Zelos 48 and no one fitted trim tabs
@@paulcooper7162 paul is right. this cat is not very well balanced from the factory..even with 2x 4S 6.000 mah batts all way forward it will fly when you want full speed...buy some nice trimtabs and problem solved. for $600 they should of made it better.
I think the blackjack 42 may be a little faster if Tune correctly takes a lot of work bit's a work but I think it may be faster than a Spartan has potential
Instead of removing material from that barrel, why not add material that tapers to the brass tube from the barrel? Silicone maybe or some solder and a little filing might work.
I'd actually go with a larger esc. MY ESC a seal 220. A 150 fluly olor would work don't get me wrong but your gonna have hot/high Temps with below average preference. Go a little larger with the esc. Always better to have more power than needed
Hi what if i use 2 esc set up 120amps two 4082 1600kv Motor on my 47inch rc Catamaran project..will it work? Or it will overheated? What S type battery would you recommend if this will work..thanks again..
@@IRONCLADRC for sure brotha, my black Jack 42” should arrive Tuesday I’m super stoked, it’s my first RC boat, been trying to get into this hobby for years. I can’t wait 🤙🏻
It looks great but it's really junk. Any type of waves or turbulence and it flips. And it's not self righting so be prepared to either swim or have a kyak. It's an expensive show piece but that's about it. It really is junk. And this guy getting a hard on over a piece of shit boat lmao love it
Yep I agree its a 73 mph POS. That I beat the shi$ out of. Catamarans of any quality don't auto flip. You'd know that if you were a boat guy. But what do I know 🤔
Im so happy for you I have been watching this channel for awhile and you deserve this

The tfl pursuit is very nice. I've always wanted the yellow one, lots of upgraded parts.. Build her IRONCLAD!
@@IRONCLADRC that’s the color I got yellow with skulls. Looks 😎 cool
Great job on your highly detailed and informative review. Great vid!
awesome video man , love the boat !
I live with a pond out my door. I have several boats and i just got the BlackJack 42 and 2 days later my Pond Froze over....Ahhhh!!!!!
Sounds like my kinda luck too buddy. 😕

This was the boat i had my eye on originally but the V2 caught my eye. Self righten since im not always in my real boat for retrieval 😅
Tremenda estabilidad y velocidad.
What’s better for a new to RC boat person? Sonic wave or this black jack? Been into RC car for 3 decades but haven’t done the boats.
Personally I think the SonicWake would be better, it has self-righting, and lots of tuning options inside and out, the blackjack is my favorite catamaran in my fleet, she likes to flip at high speed so RCBB trim tabs is a must for the 42 and big 7600- 8000 4s × 2 packs to weight the bow down. SonicWake is basically ready to go out the box other than adding an extra cooling circuit.
@@IRONCLADRCsounds like it would be an easier introduction for a first timer to go sonic. Thanks for the information!
It does not fly back over?
Nice boat. I think I'm going to get one to compliment my sonicwake.
You will love it. 💘
NICE BOAT 😊😊
What do you think of the seem,any cooling issues like the Sonic Wake?
Never had any cooling issues with the stock bj42. You'll need trim tabs to help keep the boat on the water
i love that you get so excited.. but dollar for dollar is the blackjack much better than the sonicwake? i dont think so...
I'd pick the blackjack over the v1 sonicwake any day.
My next boat!!
Noticed that the hull gets pretty wet inside, my Zelos is bone dry only with the thumb screws. Wondering if this one leaks water and will need to be taped up to keep it bone dry inside? Also have you tried to make any strut adjustments to keep the front end down?
Yea I should tape her up. I think it's due to the hoses runing thru the hull without fittings? I need to tape her up that's for sure
This looks like a great boat, but I can’t see paying $500-$600+ for an RC boat only to have to tape it up to keep water out.
Smack that box one more time!
Beauty 👌

What brand of 4s batteries do you recommend? I am going to run my blackjack all stock?
Smc hcl-hc 7600mah 150c 4s
Any trick to getting the trim tabs on correctly? Mount them level, or slightly above?

The veles 29 is boss brother I love that boat 81mph is my top stock. No one can say that about a traxxas
Mire hidrodinamic maybe? Or aerodinamic?
probably more aerodynamic, once I installed the rcbb trim tabs, she stuck to the water.

22:26 can you use one of them little wiring zipties?
Yes sir I use med sized zip ties for the break away screw
massive ha ha ha ....How excited would you get seeing my 60 inch boat ?
I have a 12 inch brushless mini mono I think I get the most excitement from.
I've been looking at the delta force annihilator 53 twin build. Well maybe I should say, dream build.. lol
Is that all stock?
Yes sir
This is real good.will you add trim tabs
Pretty sure trim tabs don't belong on a cat?! Weight Distribution and strut placement should do the trick.

I agree. It's so wide... Gonna be rewarding to get it right.. it's got potential .
How does compare to the Traxxas Spartan? Faster? About the same?
I think the blackjack 42 may be a little faster if Tune correctly takes a lot of work bit's a work but I think it may be faster than a Spartan has potential
Instead of removing material from that barrel, why not add material that tapers to the brass tube from the barrel? Silicone maybe or some solder and a little filing might work.
Awesome thinking thanks
A tapering fitting would probably work best. Silicone may be a little tricky to workwith
Hi good day..is it ok if use a 150a esc and a 4082 Brushless motor on a 47 inch Catamaran boat?? Thanks..😃
I'd actually go with a larger esc. MY ESC a seal 220. A 150 fluly olor would work don't get me wrong but your gonna have hot/high Temps with below average preference. Go a little larger with the esc. Always better to have more power than needed

Yea twin setups would be much better for a 47inch inch catamaran
@@IRONCLADRC thanks..can use a 3660 3500kv motor? Because i have an extra here..sorry i did not mention earlier..
So can you run just one battery in it? Like a 6s.
Probably but the balance would be off to one side or the other
@@IRONCLADRC I wasn’t sure if you could run the battery in the middle. Thanks for the response and awesome videos you have.
Whats is the prop size
Not exactly sure my friend.
Dose anyone know of a big beast 8s similar boat with self righting please????
I don't think there's any large catamarans with self righting
That pond is almost to small for that 42
Blackjack 24 ,prop size want to upgrade but not sure of the size and pitch,cheers,
