In store pick up only. The Pro Boat® Blackjack™ 42 Brushless 8S Catamaran returns you to the days of large-scale racing taking on all comers with style and speed. If you can only have one RC Boat - this is the one to get!
The Pro Boat® Blackjack™ 42 Brushless 8S Catamaran is a return to the days of large-scale racing boats taking on all comers with style and speed. The 8S-rated Spektrum™ 160A High Voltage, water-cooled, Smart™ electronic speed controller works tirelessly to power the Spektrum™ Marine 4685 4 Pole, water-cooled motor which is capable of producing up to 5.3 horsepower and hitting 55+ MPH! There is no other boat in this size, with this much power, at such an affordable value. Of course, everything is controlled by the Spektrum Smart™ System making this speed demon incredibly intelligent. A Spektrum DX3™ Transmitter and waterproof SR6110AT 6-Channel Telemetry Receiver keeps everything tightly connected for an interference free operation with built-in telemetry. The Blackjack also features an impact resistant polycarbonate hull, polycarbonate canopy with aluminum thumb screws, a clean molded composite interior, and an aluminum rudder and propeller strut. Lay your cards on the table and make the lake your own with the Pro Boat Blackjack 42 Catamaran.
Two piece shoe box construction for extreme hull durability. Molded composite material is much more impact resistant than fiberglass.
Durable polycarbonate provides a watertight seal and the thumb screws mean no tape is necessary to retain the canopy on to the hull.
Rated at over 5 horsepower with 85%+ efficiency, this powerful 8S capable brushless and waterproof motor provides more than enough torque to hit 55+ MPH.
Able to handle all the power needed, it is programmable, water-cooled, waterproof, and Smart.
This adds rigidity and strength to the hull. The interior is wood-free to avoid rot and decay. The grease cup prevents grease from spreading inside.
Both the propeller and rudder feature anodized aluminum. The rudder has a special break away feature that protects the hull from damage in case floating debris is struck.
Never lose sight of your battery capacity when using Smart™ LiPo batteries in the ProBoat Blackjack 42. The included Smart™ Transmitter communicates with the included Smart™ ESC and Receiver to show you the boat's remaining battery capacity on the DX3™.
The waterproof receiver ensures an interference free operation.
The high torque digital servo provides all the necessary power. Waterproofing makes sure the servo is up to the task of being in a boat without the risk of failure do to getting wet.
This custom molded plastic stand fits perfectly to the contour of the hull providing a rock stable platform to display or work on your boat. This boat stand will last for the life of your boat without the need to worry about water rotting a wooden stand.
