Congrats on the 89 run man! I can’t get over 65 without flipping so extreme props for your effort in running and dedication

[@55steviegreene]

She's served you well 89 is smoking fast. The new one will be better then ever. Good luck with the new build

[@boblazarrss]

Sorry about your boat friend. Ty for the consistent content

[@Buellerwtfman]

Rip BJ, you fought the good fight! At least you didnt have a salvage operation on your hands. Every time you land a flip and keep running, Im like B must stand for Balls lmao. After loosing my favorite boat Im paranoid AF.

[@IRONCLADRC]

they don't call ne big B for nothing lol. Gonna start checking my boats after a flip from now on thays for sure.

[@artpeck9272]

Well, I don’t know, but I doubt either one of those 80+ flips did the damage. It was more likely the combination of the two. Are you going to reinforce the new hull before you get the interior built out?

[@nickwright2030]

Hey big B it hurts to watch R,I,P,,,, but someone once said a bad day on the water beats a good day at work,,, so heads up please don't stop ur videos be lost with out them f,r and thanks for the heads up on winterizing my RC boat didn't know you had to do that stuff my boats are inside they're not outside in the basement the temp down there b around 47-58 degrees think that be all right still going to do what you said too so thanks for the heads up Wisconsin

[@keven8047]

Man a year later and this still hurts me.. rip bj 😢😢😢😢😢

[@h2omechanic]

What TP motor is this? That can handle 8s bursts & 6s runs?

[@treyrahman]

That water cooling with that water bottle was genius ! Im taking my Blackjack 42 out on its Madien run tomorrow ! Greased up the prop shaft, charged up my 4s 500mah 100c batteries and tightened everything up ! Siked to get her out in the water ! Wish me luck i have no blowevers or freak accidents that rewuire me to swim out to get my boat ! Haha Cheers mate ! P.S im not going full throttle unless the water is GLASS !! Sorry about your boat brother !

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks brother, yea out the blue one day I got that idea in my head lol. I only use the water bottle for speed running with a higher kve borderline setup

[@Mr.Blackhatt]

danggg! that's a big bummer 😔 Congratzz on 89mph! I think for the big upgrade for Jack you gotta need Kevlar 🤔 man what a show you give there tho 😁😁 all through it al keep it up BigB never give up bro!💪🏼

[@IRONCLADRC]

I reinforced the seems with carbon Kevlar, I think the added weight killed the boat to be quite honest?

[@Mr.Blackhatt]

ooohh right! man really bummer! so what you wanna do next... buy a hull... ?

[@IRONCLADRC]

I e got another bj42 hull otw

[@Mr.Blackhatt]

yeahhh nice!😁 go twin motor heheh 😝 btw my blackjack went 96kmh new pb 😁😁 so happy! then it crashed also Hahah but nothing broke thank God! little bit water inside no worries 😋 however Goodluck on the new hull BigB! 💪🏼

[@rwardenutube]

One possible reason to add a water pump - not having to manually cool down the ESC. if the pump has enough flow it will not restrict the flow at high speed and your electronics will stay cooler on average - I’ve instrumented my boat and log the temps. That might make a good video too - pump vs no pump and temperature over time.

[@marcandreasson87]

Thanks for the great content. Awesome stuff 👍👍

[@MrQuasar1958]

How about a small wing mounted on top of the boat on the front set at a neutral angle and a small servo to change the angle of that wing linked to a small gyro , then as the front of the hull starts to rise the gyro would sense this movement and apply a small negative angle to the wing ? In theory that would make the boat unflippable at any speed . Just a thought! Great channel and greetings from the UK 👍🏻

[@VetteWay2Fast]

I’ve always wondered about an active front wing on these boats. Even one w/o a gyro that is connected to the throttle and adds a bit of downforce in a linear fashion with the throttle curve. I can’t get my bj42 much over 65 without it catching air and flipping. The fact that ironclad is even getting some 80+ runs is impressive and a testament to his tuning and commitment :)

[@elvispresley2328]

that sucks brother,nice run before that crash,the bright side is you get a fresh boat to play with,have a good one big b

[@IRONCLADRC]

I'm actually excited about the new hull, I know exactly what to do to the fresh new hull.

[@paintendaveextremecollisio8057]

Wow man , congrats nice work! Looking forward to the XLX2👍

[@mikesullivan5851]

Man all the work you've put into that boat... I cracked two hulls this year I'm wondering if we should just be running carbon hulls from now on 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@stevestonacek7128]

Boy o boy B, I'm sorry to see this one but I know how you are feeling. I told you I was going camping at the lake last week, I had beautiful water most of the week. I got Miss Geico 36 up to 79 mph for the first time, I was shaking so much I could barely hold the control, boy was I jazzed. I also took the Veles 29 and was playing with different props and got her to 67mph and for some reason the strut worked its way down to deep and I think pushed the nose down and boat was running too wet, I stuck the bow in a small wake that should have passed over but didn't at 67mph. Sounded like the boat hit a brick wall. The boat landed upright, and I drove her in and found I cracked the hull on right sponson and stress cracks all up in the tunnel and broke right side battery tray loose. I removed both battery trays and doing your mod with Oxidean carbon trays I have them ready to glue in just as soon as I finish with hull repairs and reinforcements. she is going to be a bit heavier hope it won't slow her down too much. I don't know where I'm going to find that green paint maybe just paint the bottom black. I did the maiden run on the Sonic Wake V2 I upgraded the ESC with 160 amp and servo upgrade before ever putting her on the water. She runs good with the stock prop or the Oxidean blue prop but when I put the Oxidean yellow high rake she gets power cuts right as you hit full throttle, so I have to figure that out. I had a fun week at the lake but it's going to be a lot of work fixing the Veles.

[@johnbuchanan1066]

Hey if you ain't crashen you ain't running.... run break fix repeat. It still sucks tho... ouchy. Great video.

[@mudcud]

That JB weld plastic weld is the best stuff on the planet.glue that thing back together. She don't have to look pretty to go skipping across the water

[@marxboatworx]

Arghh man, thought the first run would have done that damage..maybe it had a bit. Good run at the 89 though!!, nearly there!!!

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yes sir that first flip was something else, must of flew 60 plus feet untill smacked the water.. I'm just glad I didn't sink my boat.

[@anthonya7443]

You can't fix that with a little bit of silicone adhesive caulking and some waterproof tape on the inside?

[@georgegonzalez9281]

You got your money's worth out of that boat. I don't think there's another BJ42 that has had such a rich life full of adventure as yours has. Gees, you hit a duck and ran over a crock with that thing! Man it deserves to live on. Maybe build a fresh one and then fix the old girl and piece it together with spares. Then you can beat on it and not worry if something happens to it. That's what I'd do :)

[@pitbullrcltd6252]

Sorry about the fatal wreck my friend ..... and congrats on the speeds you reached ..... but I gotta mention ..... polycarbonate is strong ... but at these speeds ...I don't think it is as strong as carbon fiber or fiberglass..... for the hull to separate like it did on your boat I think that on impact the hull flexed to the point where it separated at the seems even though you reinforced it ...... thanks for sharing .....

[@jaymeparker27]

Heartbroken for the 42 big b 💔. Come back stronger and faster!

[@madmaxximus1234]

It's tough to keep it on the water and out of the water at the same time 😁😁👍🤙

Finally BJ gave up. Surprised me a bit how long it held up. But this is what happens pushing boundries but still, it sucks ... But you know the weakspots now, so you can improve those and don't have to start from scratch with its set-up and got new pb's...

It was a bummer for sure, I had alot of time on this hull, but the new hull runs much better imo

[@Mark-ci3kt]

have you got a video for the dead duck run ...

[@nwirc]

I must of missed the video on losing the top of the tug boat. Are you using cold water in that bottle for cooling..? Either way that's a slick trick.. Man sorry to here about the crash.. You'll have it rebuilt with the new hull in no time.

[@IRONCLADRC]

A kayaker knocked the tug boat top off during a recovery. Fluke accident 😐 the water was "room temp" no ice..

[@nwirc]

@@IRONCLADRC I installed foam inside mine to hopefully prevent things like this. It floats on its own if it was to fall off. Looking forward to seeing the progress on your new top.

[@wonderkook]

wow

[@Dr_Jet]

What happened to the air dam idea? That may have helped to keep the boat on the water at speed. You can see in the slo-mo that the boat gradually raised it's bow until enough air could get under it to start the high-speed rotation/flip process. Bummer about that giant crack. It could be fixed, but retirement and replacement sounds easier. Are you going to do another BJ hull, or maybe something built from composite materials?

[@IRONCLADRC]

The air dam is in the boat has been the whole time I've got a blackjack 42 hull already otw

[@Dr_Jet]

[@christianrambissoon1141]

Why is salt water a big deal? Got my first boat a few days ago and ran it in the sea, day 1.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Salt on copper wires and conectors will corrode and degrade the connection, causing resistance. Salt on any electrical component is not good.. rinse the boat with fresh water inside and out when your done running in Salt water, pull the flexcable when you get home Salt water will rust it . Servo, motor bearings will also rust/loc-up.

Do they have trim tabs that will electronically adjust as you give it more throttle and go faster?

Off Shore Electronics have a trim tab set that's adjustable via servo, I think there to small for the 42

[@brandonwynn9801]

So when your new hull comes, are you gonna reinforce the seems and ironclad it out 1st or fix as you go ? Good run and it's gonna happen eventually. I'm reinforcing my Revolt as soon as I get It back from my painter. Installing ul electronics in my Revolt. That should be fun

[@IRONCLADRC]

It be quite honest I think all the weight from fixing and reinforcing the hull here lately has contributed to the demise of this hull. I added quite a bit of weight reinforcing the seem with epoxy and carbon Kevlar... I think the added weight in the stern from the last repair messed up my CG, Causing the flips. Idk.

[@artpeck9272]

@@IRONCLADRC carbon fiber isn’t all that heavy. You can get various weights. If I recall correctly, it’s rated as grams per square meter. Go with the light stuff and go easy on the epoxy. Seems like you could keep the added weight down.

Still don't understand the speed. Just go out there an enjoy the boat. Most of these boats aren't designed to go those speeds. Crack the boat now so what does that get you. Time for the dumpster. Nothing like throwing $600+ into the dump. You got to know when to draw the line. Build your own boat if you want these speeds. Factory boats don't go those speeds you just blew the boat. That in my opinion is stupid. Nice boat went to the garbage .I have the same boat I have the miss geico 36 and the m41. Love all 3 but I run them to the specs that is recommended. Still have them today .3yrs later. Like trying to get a Volkswagen to act like a dragster. Sheese.
