#MrMad2424 - Since my Sonicwake ESC melted my entire boat this week - I am in the market for a solid boat that does anywhere around the 50-60mph range. I really like the Miss G boat but now i AM thinking about going with the new BlackJack 42 8s/ wHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

[@MrMad2424]

Sorry to hear about the Sonic wake. Can't go wrong with either of the boats. I like a twin myself.

[@nossrc5638]

People are wrong, this hull material is like plastic but it is not like Sonicwake, this material is similar to the plastic of motorcycles or the same and they do not break so easily, they are extremely hard ,the boat looks amazing ,a few changes and kills

[@MrMad2424]

Correct.

Looks beautiful but that shaft needs to be 5mm and dual pick up with a 160amp esc. Overall though looks sharp

[@bermyvlogger]

nice to finally see a FE RTR that isnt a piece of junk skater cat. stupid thing dont turn and randomly blow off the water. cant see why anybody would drive em. THIS looks like it should turn and handle proper. the reviews and time will tell . few problems that i can see- the strut has a terrible taper on the front end going to the stuffing tube. that will cause drag. also trash those nuts behind the prop ,thats not what those type of nuts are for . they will also cause turbulence/drag/odd behavior

[@robbryan3044]

Like many, I was somewhat skeptical when I first heard the hull was polycarbonate (ie. Lexan)...but, at the same time, having worked in the plastics industry many years ago, I have first-hand experience in how strong cast polycarbonate it (extruded polycarbonate, such as in tubes & rods, isn't quite as strong, but still relatively strong). Anyway, after seeing the interior of the hull, and all the additional reinforcement, I'm 99% confident the hull is rigid enough. Now, the questions..... First, considering the size, I'm 'curious' as to why they didn't make it a twin. Granted, it's probably lighter than the Miss Geico, but, still, the Miss Geico is a twin, so shouldn't this have been, as well? Say, running twin 4S (or, maybe, even twin 6S)? After all, there's more than enough room inside. Second (since I'm still extremely new to FE racing...as in, I haven't even entered my first race yet (entirely sure to Covid-19's "interference")), would this boat be race-worthy? I know some are racing the Miss Geico, which has me wondering. Also...if it is race-worthy, what class would it be? My current race boats consist of a P-Limited mono, and a P-open twin cat. Whatever the answers to my questions (if any answers are given), I'm still considering getting it...would just need to decide color (I REALLY like the black, but the white is easier to see out on the water)...as it should make a great boat to just have fun with (whether, or not, it qualifies for NAMBA racing).

[@MrMad2424]

It seems to be a well made boat. Temps are low running through the packs hard. It seems durable from the crashes I have had with it. As for as a race class I don't think a 42 inch class exist. But again I'm not real sure on each locations classes.

[@robbryan3044]

@@MrMad2424 What about the "jackrabbiting"? Resolved that, yet?

[@MrMad2424]

No. I don't plan to run it on the stock prop so I won't worry about that until I decide on what prop i'm going to use for a few more speed passes.
