That elusive goal will come with much tinkering and testing. Keep at it Big B because I’m really enjoying your journey! I’m also learning a huge amount from ya man.
Congrats Big B! That's a well deserved PB for sure, but please don't stop there. You're only 13 mph away from triple digits. I think it's possible, and you're the man to do it. Peace!
congrats dude. been watching for a little while. you causing me to spend money now. just got my bj42 and hoping to get her wet this weekend. your vids are great. keep it going.
Ya that’s super fast , especially for that boat , my personal opinion is that it was just a bad design ! You can make it fast but as you know it takes hours of precision work and exact adjustments that may not last for more than a few passes depending on the conditions. Best of luck really like the channel.
I've been packing for Vacation at the lake this weekend and getting Sonic Wake V2 ready for her maiden run. I stripped out the stock servo and the 120 ESC and installed Spektrum high torque digital servo and Spektrum 160 ESC and some OSE. larger cooling lines and bound her with my DX5 Rugged. No time left to rework the stock prop going to have to run it or one of my Oxidean props. Wish me luck.
Dude your duct tape method is awesome..! But of course the 87 mph pass was amazing too..! I'll own a BJ 42 sooner or later.. You got lucky not to flip it on the 3rd pass lol.. Thanks for the great video..
Congrats big B!! Hope that strut mod you made was adding some negative like I suggested! Of those 3 passes good chance you got the 87 on the first one. Which would mean second two were unnecessary risk! Get a skyrc Bluetooth gps so you can quickly grab numbers between passes. Otherwise you risk flipping on pass 3 and not getting an accurate speed for pass 1! Loving the daily vids keep it up
Question on the 42. Thinking of getting one for my first boat, with a reasonably stock 42, what kind of run times you get from a fairly ordinary set of packs? Just a ballpark figure please.
To be quite honest there literally about the same, the ztw may have a little more to give than the 160, both are excellent speed controls in my eye. 84 with the 160 and 87 with the 200
I've got hockey tape & hatch tape, I actually prefer the duck tape on the 42 & my 35. The hatch is so big I feel it's a waist using my good tape.. If you wanna send tape email me I'll definitely put it to use. ironcladedout@gmail.com
Whatever guess it's fun to get stuff from everyone. Lucky you didn't destroy it . Don't know what the big deal is on speed. But to each there own rush. Miss geico 36 got 105 on one of the videos. But you might convince me to get this boat. Still considering the miss geico 36.
It's the challenge, finding the right combination of prop, weight, esc, power , etc. For me I enjoy the prop aspect modifying & balancing my props for performance or destroying the prop in the process lol. I bought this boat when it first came out, it's been a journey every since
@@IRONCLADRC Awesome! I Just ran my own PB this afternoon of 74mph with only two upgrades: a bigger 3-blade prop and Blitz boat RC trim tabs. I was using the SMC 150c Lipos. I cannot wait to run the 250c batteries and see what I can get next. I have learned so much about speed running and proper maintenance on the BlackJack42 thanks to your channel. Appreciate the hard work you do and that you share everything with us
@@IRONCLADRC I just bought a blackjack 42 and love it and I have two Spartans on one customized with leopard 16 KV and hobbywing ESC. Keep up the good work. I've watched all your TH-cam videos on RC boats and especially blackjack 42 definitely best RC boat channel 😎👍
And I noticed Traxxas m41 comes with trim tabs I think in the future I will pick some up from OSe for my blackjack 42 I think that's the only thing pro boat should have add and included with a brand new
You're gonna love my new blackjack 42 setup. I'm still working out all the kinks. Probably won't hit the water for a couple more weeks, but I went 12s with a flier 400a esc and tppower cm. Gonna be insane.
That elusive goal will come with much tinkering and testing. Keep at it Big B because I’m really enjoying your journey!

Thanks for the support brother.

Thanks for the encouragement George, I'm about to throw some more RPM on it. Hopefully the speed control takes it!
yeahhh! 87mph woooohhh congratzzz she booking BigB. wel done on that setup keep them numbers up 😎
Wow just wow!!! So clean 100 is within your reach 👍 great video!
You are the best boat channel on you tube!!!!!!!
Wow, thanks! Glad to have you aboard. BG4L
congrats dude. been watching for a little while. you causing me to spend money now. just got my bj42 and hoping to get her wet this weekend. your vids are great. keep it going.
You'll love it trust me
Nice bro ! That’s a fantastic run I don’t think most people understand how hard it is to get that boat to run that fast . Well done !
Thank you, lots of dedication and FLIPPING 😆 My Personal Best with the 42 is 106mph video is in my library /playlist

Perfect conditions, Perfect pass. Yea, you worked your ass off getting to 87. Now you know it was worth it. Congratulations Bud!!!

Sound like your ready to hit the water good luck with the super Sonicwake
Congrats on the new PB Big B 👏 She ran beautiful at full song.
Gratz Big B! That thing is really running good.
Congrats dude solid runs that boat was flying low 🎉🎉
Bruh that’s wild, you’re killing this!
Thanks, I appreciate it. I worked for it for sure.
@@IRONCLADRC I never thought I would see anyone hit 80 without adding weight. You’ve got the touch brother
congrats on the pb,thats fricking moving
Dude your duct tape method is awesome..! But of course the 87 mph pass was amazing too..! I'll own a BJ 42 sooner or later.. You got lucky not to flip it on the 3rd pass lol.. Thanks for the great video..
It works pretty good its not pretty but it works, cheap & easy for these larger boats.
@@IRONCLADRC Yes cause that waterproof tape can get expensive..
Love your passion
Congratulations brother. That was clean runs. I messed up and found some other goodies that I was supposed to send you. Oh well, next time.
It's all good brother! thanks for all the support..... shoot I'd be happy with a Box of rocks 😆
nice work!! also Big B just convinced me to get a Blackjack
Your gonna love it, once I start running that boat I can't stop, lol. It's all I can think about. 🤔
Man congrats, well done👍

Solid runs Clad.
Thanks brother!
Well done! Bring on the UL19!
She's coming along, should have her ready in a few days.
Question on the 42. Thinking of getting one for my first boat, with a reasonably stock 42, what kind of run times you get from a fairly ordinary set of packs? Just a ballpark figure please.
Ordinary for the 42 is anything from 6000-10000mah stock 42 runtimes anywhere from 5-9min depending on the capacity of the battery pack.
Hello mate what tp motor would be suitable for sonic wake 36 v2 for speed runs
Smokin bro Hellllllll Yeahhhhh!!!
Brilliant 😊👍
Thanks brother. 😜
What is the second tubing running to? Factory only has one tube on the rudder peto
One to the esc one to the motor
Well done big b
Congrats with your new pb man. Now maybe the time to put some more rpm to it..?
Looked like she was running on rails rhis time, impressive...
That's what I'm talking about im about to throw in that TP motor.. All great minds think a like!
Which ABC prop was that?
Unreal Big B. Your taking that boat to the next Level. How's that ZTW compared to the Firma 160?
To be quite honest there literally about the same, the ztw may have a little more to give than the 160, both are excellent speed controls in my eye. 84 with the 160 and 87 with the 200
Let’s go! King Kong ain’t got shit on Big B!
Stock electronics. Could i run those batteries in my stock black jack?
Unfortunately the dv extreme 6300 are no longer available from smc racing, I recommend the 7600 150c 4s HCL-HP from SMC long run time great top speed.
Hi Big B! Do you think the stock esc can handle this prop?
It might, you can't do back to back passes, "one hitter quiter prop" 160 may power cut
Still running your trim tabs on the blackjack 42?
Yes sir, there a must have really
Great run Big B👍 What ABC-prop were you running?
1817 abc 17/45
Incredible run sir. I'm going to send you some radio box tape sir. Let me know how to send it....😅
I've got hockey tape & hatch tape, I actually prefer the duck tape on the 42 & my 35. The hatch is so big I feel it's a waist using my good tape..

@@IRONCLADRC would you get the blackjack over the miss geico 36? If you had to do it all-over again. Still up in the air on witch one.
@@topgun5399 since you don't care much for speed I'd go with the 42, the 36 is nothing shy of a speed demon. Basically Built for SAW runs
Congrats Big B. Any idea when the 250c packs from SMC will be in?
Anyday now, if I'm not mistaken they scheduled to arrive the 18th or 20th of October

You are getting the big boy dialed in bro. Glad to see it back after the crash
Beautiful run "B" congrats. What did you do to work around that soft start on the ESC?
It still has soft start.
Is 9000mah to big for this boat?
Should be 👍
WOW SUPER
Thanks brother
Do you think the blackjack 42 needs trm tabs?? Go fast
I have my strut level and steams to ride a lot better
I think the trim tabs are needed to help keep it on the water at speed, so yea I think so
