THE Black Jack 42, is running a Poly Carbonate Hull. It's slightly more durable than the Black Jack 24 (ABS Hull) . My own early erk, was PRO BOAT chose to run a Smaller KV. motor, to keep the electronics cooler, running 8S . and 50-55 , MPH, on a stock prop. They could have easily gotten 60Mph, with a 3800-4000 KV, and running 3 - 4 S , and in turn, saved on batterer expenses. . THE Traxas , M41, took the same approach, with the Stock Setup. A modified Black Jack 24, with the 4000 mill upgrade , did 30 mph on 2S . and 63 mph, on 4 S. I like smaller boats, with a "lot of attitude. "

Awsome Boats! Im new to the Rc Boats, i just had Nitro an Elictric Rc Buggys/ Truggys in the past. I like those huge Rooster tails (fontains) on the back of the boat. Are there any things i can mod on the Sonicwake to get bigger rooster tails?

@easternrc1924 2 жыл бұрын

Have to agree, rooster tails are damned sweet haha problem with the sonicwake is you can really adjust the depth of the strut, only the angle of it, big roosters usually come from the prop being quite high in the water, go to far on this adjustment and the boats performance will start to be horrible. My advice, make the boat run good and you'll get the most enjoyment, rooster tails form nicely with a properly setup boat 👊

@@easternrc1924 Okay, thanks for the tip! Do you think the Sonicwake is the "best" 6s Mono boat or are there any other good options on the market in this pricerange? An hull would be for me a good option too because from the rc cars ive got teached that the Rtr Servos/ Motor esc combos are kinda overpriced and not the best for their price.

@easternrc1924 2 жыл бұрын

@@leo0528 the sonic is very good value for money imho but not the best mono hull by a long way. Stock electronics aren't too bad but the boat has to be setup really well to not cook the electronics. Id definitely swap out the speed controller at least for even just a flycolor 150amp (great esc for the price) Self righting is an awfully nice feature too, let's you give the boat a run in any condition with less fear of having the swim of shame haha

Dude... such a difficult decision!!! If you are new to boats and don't wanna swim for your capsized boat go the SW! The MG36 is the best quality boat out of those 3 thats for sure. The black jack is cool also.... I dunno I just think an MG36 trumps the BJ42. Let me know what you decide!!
