Whoa Nice

So the Blackjack 42 got here today. She's a nice a boat. Big too. Without further ado here are pics of the bad boy.



So for reference the Red Jacketed motor is for my 1/8 scale Hydro. I was surprised.



The Zonda and the Blackjack are the same length but the Blackjack has some girth. She's 3 inches wider than the Zonda. She should corner a lot better than the Zonda. The Zonda is dragster compared to the Blackjack. I need to add another shelf to display her.

So what's the speed on this sucker?

It's called a bellow like in a real boat with i/o drive. They like to leak, ask me how I know lol.

Ahh thats more like a cork with a hole in it. A bellow is a corrugated rubber coupler that allows things its covering to pivot unobstructed and obviously to seal

1/1 scale boat = Break - Out - Another - Thousand (I know this cuz I owned one)

1/5 scale RC boat = Break - Out - Another - Thousand (educated guess ! )

@1Coopgt are you running the Spektrum smart batteries. I've had 2 3S hardpacks poop out already from the miss geico 36 and the zelos 36
I have the bzx4. Full tuned pipe, she's very loud

I picked up 2 spectrum 4s batteries with EC5 connectors . None of my other 4s batteries have the right connectors.

I'm confused , your Zelos 36 has a gas engine in it? Or are you talking about your Zelos 48?
