BRAND NEW!!! Pro Boat Blackjack 24" Catamaran BRUSHLESS RC Speed Boat V2!

[@FarrellMcGovern]

I love opertunistic introductions of RC to kids. A few weeks back, I had gotten the Smoke Drift Tank (Ripsaw) out and was playing with it in the front yard when a neighbourhood day care for preschool kids walked by, and of course, they were all fascinated by the tank! So I turned the rate down to the lowest, and asked the person who runs the day care if she would allow the kids to try it. She said yes, and then asked who would like to try running it...and, of course, they all did. So each of the 5 kids, rating from about 4 to a year and a half tried it, and they all left with smiles on their faces! It made their day, and putting smiles on kids faces made my day, too!

I’ve had this boat a few days now. I’ve got it running mid 70’s on 6s. The design totally works for “saw runs” (straightaway) speed runs. It rides on the rear flat of the strut and the stuffing box and lifts totally out of the water. It doesn’t turn well though because of that. I’m really happy with the boat once I figured that out. Should be in the 80’s soon.

[@nomusicrc]

I got rid of my Traxxas boat and bought a Sonic wake because I wanted a boat that was self-writing I highly recommend it It sounds amazing on 6S

[@horizonhobby]

Such an awesome example at 4:59 Was loving the video but when you shared the experience and made some RC memories with strangers, 🎉. That could be the moment that family has their whole future changed to include RC ❤️

[@jordancoleman2402]

I love handing the radio over to kids ❤️ the smile on their face as they walk away with their parents talking about picking one up and super excited about a new hobby they knew nothing about a few minutes before.

[@TheRicsta]

Nate we put hocky tape over the seams to keep water out , all my boats are not standard upgrades in all things , thanks for sharing a good boat

[@sirhilsam]

See why the RC Saylors are awesome. I also allow newbies to fly my planes and drones. It gets more people interested in the hobby. To those who say this channel doesn't do constructive criticism..."Get a life."

[@CrazyQuadBrothersP3]

Nate and Abby as we’ve said in the past are the coolest RC couple. Probably just gifted the fun of RC to a kid. Which “might” now or in the future have created a new RC enthusiast. 💯⚓️

[@adamwildrick]

Just wanted to come on here and tell you guys really like your videos and appreciate the honesty in them. Don’t know why you’re getting so much hate definitely don’t listen to them. They are jealous lol and you guys are doing a great job 👍🏼 looking for to seeing more videos from you guys

I like the classic blackjack color scheme on this one.

[@TheTootie52]

AWESOME video!! I lost track of how many drivers there were!! SMILES all around!! Is this the new version of the one that came in BLACK and GOLD?? THAT ONE I LOVE!! Thanks Saylors, I do believe I felt a splash!! 😂👍❤

[@kaleiqQ]

Love the content you both provide to the world, it’s amazing that you both have fun with this hobby keep up you’re greatness. Congratulations on the new blackjack 24 the livery is nicer than the previous version

[@necton0]

Honestly I would take my Recoil 2 Shreddy *Which you recommended* over this any day.

[@TheRcSaylors]

I have to agree with that. Personally, for the way we like to drive, that’s one of their best boats! You just can’t beat a boat with self righting that’s also a good size and perfect speed 👍💯😎⚓️

[@kashmurray1199]

Really an awesome boat. Grabs your attention.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Absolutely!! Which version do you like the most? They actually made two very different versions and it sort of makes us want them both!! 💯⚓️

[@kashmurray1199]

@@TheRcSaylors Not sure.

[@stevenwalker4181]

I have both 2S and 3S in IC5. No issues.

[@TheDeadlyraptor]

Thought that would have self righting or option to right it

[@patriotrising6214]

My first serious bout with high performance RC boats was in 1989 I built a kyosho deep vee , at the regotta / race I out classed all the other boats and was already trying to figure out where I would put that big trophy ..When IT appeared a hi performance catamaran...and after being out run out turned an out of a 1st place trophy I learned 🏆 the catamaran hull is a proven winner .if you want speed and stability nothing runs like a cat 🐱 🙏

[@darkiee69]

Only negative is that you can't make it self righting. So if you flip it it'll stay flipped until saved.

[@jaymeyers950]

Poor Nate struggling with the battery n Abby laughing at you it's hot enough for a swim 😅

It absolutely is hot enough for a swim!! The water feels great today! 👍💯😎⚓️

You can't make a self righting multihull, That's for monohulls only. Try to flip over a square football vs a regular one.

Good review nice RC boat.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks!! 🙏👍😎💯⚓️

[@addictedtorcs]

Not going to lie - I went AHHH thinking that boat was going to smash into the dock. You're brave for loaning out the boat. A truck/car is one thing but crashing a boat I can only imagine. Great review, but I ordered the 42 of this boat instead. Gotta have 6s! 😅

[@mandismith89]

the 42 is 8s

[@marknickells6097]

"Rough water, and wind gusts, aren't best friends. It would be nice to see, what this does on calm water. My Black jack 24 gets real squirrely under these conditions. Are you running a stock prop? I bumped up to a TFL .438. It lays the boat down better, than the stock prop. I also went to a 120 AMP ESC. And, I find the electronics stay cool. Does the boat also come in black, like it's big brother? PRO Boat did a really nice job on it's new boats. THE Recoil 2 was completely redesigned. "THE HEAT WAVE." 18 is a little " little rocket. Stock is running at 35 mph. With a prop bump .433 . it clocks in at 43 mph. Cool little boat. Tons of attitude. I think, you would have a great time with it. It's also a great training boat. Self-right, and can be dialed down. Thanks for all your hard work, and I really enjoy your videos. -Mark-

[@Cbam871]

I actually have the newer recoil 2 in the heatwave version, 18' it rips for a boat under 200 bucks. Also sounds like a normal recoil. It skips an makes waves plus it flys

[@Alphapugdaddy]

I just got the Recoil 2 26" boat. It is my first hobby RC. It's very impressive in both smooth water and in the chop.

[@jasongebhardt9194]

This is an epic video!!! I'm thinking about adding an RC boat to my collection, but I'm probably going with the one in your last video (less money) to learn more about boating. And it was hard for you 2 to flip lol.

[@kevindissette353]

Hi Sailers, the 24 could be covered by making a circular 21 sticker or a circular Power Patch sticker, or remove 24 sticker and replace with a 21 sticker or Power Patch whatever is easiest and looks best.

[@dylanwhite6539]

If you’re running IC3 with a 2s, you’re doing it wrong. The only things in 1/10 scale that can be adequately powered by ic3 are brushed. Ic5 is basically a requirement for a 3s brushless system. Maybe a crawler brushless system would be ok but not a basher. All the arrma 3s and 4s trucks use ic5. You could easily use those two packs in a kraton 4s

[@kenappleby8481]

Neat boat. Surprised we didn't get to see Abby's famous boanuts :(

[@deaconshouse]

Is this a brand new boat or has it just been re-issued? I seem to remember the 24” being on sale a while ago… I have a Recoil 26 Shreddy and was looking into getting a similar sized catamaran. Awesome boat and video 🤟🏻 😎

[@bigalrc]

Reissued.. they had a red one and miss geico at some point.. I’m for sure gonna pick one of these up.. I have the recoil 26 too.. lots of fun

[@SCRedneckRC1]

Awesome boat 👍 a few constructive comments about Spektrum/Horizion and no one bats an eye I bet if it had been another brand the fanatics would have gone nuts 👀

[@scannon3213]

Love boats thanks 🙏

[@TheKRU251]

Could you mount your GPS unit on the race type boats? Seal top plastic bag etc...... Be good for comparisons between boats. Cheers !

[@matthewmann8951]

The reason they don't have self-writing is so that you don't get lazy when you driving so you don't get complacent with just being able to flip it right back over you got to drive it correctly or else you're going swimming that's why they do it it's a good trainer for if you want to go to a race and erase your boat Love you guys peace out

[@TheRcSaylors]

You know, I love this. Yes. You are absolutely correct! 👍💯😎⚓️

[@patalexander4624]

Where’s the water exits for the cooling? Cant seem to find them and slightly disappointed they didn’t do side exits with it. Always gotta be on the look out for good water flow out of the exits to make sure there isn’t any cooling issues while running.

[@lawrencescardino8033]

i want to get this boat but it seems to be tail heavy like my DTRC E32 cat. only one kind of 6s fits 4500Mah which i believe is to light...i have the prop shaft all the way down now and have to test it out...i think this boat might need heavier batteries ...great you shared the fun with those kids thats what its all about..it beats playing video games all day...hope all is well keep the vids coming God bless

[@chad9166]

Very cool of you to let the kids try, but i would keep the throttle all the way down, IMO...they were getting pretty squirrelly next to their own boat. Theres a lot of nuts that would freak out if their shiny bass boat got dinged by an RC lol. Great content as always!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Each kid definitely drove a little differently. If we had more time, I would have started each one at 50% for sure and worked up depending on skill level. Good advice for sure 👍💯⚓️

[@thomasbro16racing14]

Can the boat run off one battery or does it have to be two ? I just bought the heathwake boat and was wanting to know before i order anything if it could run off one or if i need both

So is the plug need tone removed to self right? Makes no sense that they built it with out the option?

[@Dragonewiz]

Do you have to use spektrum batts???😲😲🤔🤔😢😢

[@StevesRC]

No you do not.

[@SightsNjunk]

Do you think it wasn't really planing just because of the waves? Or do you think that it might need a little bit of weight on the front?

[@TheRcSaylors]

I believe it’s mainly due to the waves. When we got there, the lake was pure glass. Then of course as soon as these batteries are plugged in we get a little wind. 😬😅⚓️

[@darkiee69]

@@TheRcSaylors It ran nice and level when Nate first ran it, so I suspect that the slightly odd behaviour when Abby ran it was due to the water in the hull throwing the balance off.

[@TheRcSaylors]

That’s a very good point Darkie. 👍💯⚓️

[@mariebaxter473]

Needs a little trimming out , suspect the prop should be adjusted down 2mm if it has the rear slot ( couldnt see the transom ?) or lipos forward can help reduced that horrible nodding and spinning out .

I think that was due tto the water in the hull. It went ice and level when Nate ran it first.

@@darkiee69 Ive been moulding hulls for 40 years plus , so tend to only look at very fine set up details , but it looks like the lipos are all the way forward and she still rides 3 degrees nose up . This would induces spin outs , so prop down 2mm , then look at lipios back a few mm, so she is level through the turns . This would be more of a race set up for pro racers. .

I was arms reach away if I ever felt like the boat was operating outside of anything but safe and fun. I can definitely relate to how you feel though. I felt similarly until my 30s or so, then something clicked and “things” for me started meaning way less and it turned into more of sharing the experience.

Security cameras don’t work for this because there’s no wifi network out there.
