I use to own a blackjack 26, fun, and super fast, I could get mine around 45 mph, but to much speed for such a little boat I've realized, it flips alot.
Want speed on smooth water, move the batteries to the back. ...on rough water, move them to the front. They still advertise it as good in all water conditions but I don't buy that. It's really a smooth water boat if you want to open it up.
I guess on a Nitro boat, you could always put another fuel tank or something else in the front for ballast. The guy below is right too....it does sound like a wet fart after it flips. LOL I love ProBoats though!...have two myself. Check my profile for some Brushless runs. I think I need a Nitro boat next.....thinking the Formula Fastech Nitro. Cool video! Thanks for posting!
Just did the same thing only in saltwater. Only the second time out, water entered the
"waterproof" as if, compartment and shorted out the battery's. Duracell exploded in the box.
Acid everywhere. Lost all 3 servo's. Reciever ok. Thank God.
All new parts, but extra-waterproofed each with simple balloons. Radio also. Dugghhh!!! ? For $1,400 should come with waterproof servos. Thanks Pro-Boat.
this is the smaller one, not the big boy i dont think its $1400 for this, but you should always makesure the hatch and radio box is taped to prevent water destorying everything
you can use the standard mounts and go to an .18, but to go up to a bigger motor you would need new mounts and it probably wouldnt fit under the cowling without some cutting.
I hope after you flipped it/were done running you sprayed some WD-40 into the engine and/or used after run oil. If not your piston and sleeve can rust and get ruined....
There wassome water in the pipe and a bit in the engine I think, but it just takes a bit longer to get it restarted, then the engine is so hot any water is boiled and blown out the engine. This happens quite often with a fast boat but I have never had any problems.
im looking into getting this boat, do u know if it will sink, i mean i wouldent let it just sit tehre obviousley but i was wondering if it has something to keep it floating if it flips and you gotta get in the real boat to go get it.
It wont sink completely, it has flotation material in the front. I get mine back by casting a weight over it with a fishing rod then carefully wind it back in.

Savageowner610 4 years ago
Yep, I just tipped the water out, the radio box was dry, took a bit longer to start than normal but all was good.

atleast it flipped close to you
Savageowner610 4 years ago
Yep, I thought it might be trouble running that fast on chop, so I kept it close to the shore.
