Ive learned so much from many of your videos. Ive never really messed with boats before besides my 2 dinky projects. but now i feel confident enough to successfully modify a discontinued hull, Thanks to You! Ill definitely keep you updated brother! 🤙
About to build my 17” Miss Geico also. These videos are a great source of information.
The way you talk makes it more entertaining! Awesome upgrade! Just sub
Damn looks quick! Nice upgrade!
Very helpful video again mate, wife just bought a used one. I'll be doing this for sure . This beast of a thing is a rocket. Great work Big B.
You'll love it brushless, flex cable is a must!
Nice little pocket rocket!
This was so freaking helpful. I just ordered a 2440 and a 30amp esc for my little Miss Geico. Time to break out the dremel.
I highly recommend an octura 427 prop anything larger just flips the boat under acceleration
@@IRONCLADRC Awesome, I'll get that, thanks again!
love the build vid!!
Nice upgraded mate goes very well 👍
I'm on upgrading a p1 arpro rc boat at the moment should be fun once Done all the best mate keep up the good work love your videos best regards stu from 🇬🇧 😀
Im impressed. Ive been so bored with mine. That thing is on 🔥. I need to upgrade mine.
Night and day upgraded definitely needs a .98 cable for the best performance
Okay, I want one now. Great video bro
The upgrade was actually easier than expected. Hull quality is OK, there's a few areas where paint is chipping but overall I'd recommend for upgrading
I used to use the thinnest sheet of plastic and glue them onto the surface to sharpen the edges and trailing edges.lot of work but comes out great.
I thought about using plastic but didn't have any I found best suited for the project
Iron cloud did it again thanks for the innovation
Nice Upgrade for the little MG. I have one I upgraded too. Someone had a nice parts list on OSE so I went that root. I haven't tested it yet. Talk about putting 10lbs of poop in a 5 lbs bag. LOL
Your right about that. It's a tight build
Love it don't you just love making toys go faster than intended
Yes sir
Nice UPGRADE
I just got everything that you did, I’ll let you know how it goes! Going to play with only electrical esc, servo, receiver, and try it before doing the flex drive :)
Nice your gonna love it especially when you install the flexcable night and day
I had migrated at The Hobby Shop same one you have binders with a three-year-old with a 3s battery that goes about 50 miles an hour hobby shop in Sterling from Winter Haven Florida
rippin good sir.
Thats cool
Sooo, I did the motor, esc, servo and decided to try the boat with the straight shaft and an atomic 17 prop. At 75% throttle (regulated at remote) it did a barrel roll around 20-25mph. No air no warning just barrel roll lol. Flex shaft time! And maybe a better choice in prop. Happy boating
Did the same thing to me. Install a flex cable problem solved
As you are well aware, the lower the CG is in a cat, the less prone they will be to rolling over in a turn. While your MG doesn't seem to have a problem in the turns, getting the battery down in the sponsons wouldn't hurt either. Check out the nunchuck-style batteries made for Air-Soft guns. They are essentially 2 thin, flat, but fairly long 1S batteries wired in series to yield a 2S pack. I've seen them from under 1.2mah up to about 1.8mah. I used them in an experimental project, and while the project itself was a dead-end, the batteries worked well and fit into tiny spaces.
Yep I've seen the turnigy "nunchuck" batteries good idea. That's about the only style battery that would fit in the sponsons.
@@IRONCLADRC EXACTLY! See? Great minds think alike. Stick one in the bottom of each sponson. The connecting wires may need to be lengthened. If that is the case, make 110% certain you can't accidentally short something out when you're doing the mod; insulate and isolate everything.
Absolute great upgrade. Nice work sir. When you going to do more on ul19?
I'm actually about to do a motor swap, I should have a video out in a couple days.
I have to exact boat. Who could I send it to and have it upgraded. My 9 year old son is wanting to get into boats so bad. Someone has already tried to go brushless and it has a bad shake. Idk what to do with it. But willing to pay to have it fixed.
i realize you have moved on to other projects. i did almost the exact same upgrades only i used a the surpass 2838 4700 kv with a 32mm prop and a ztw esc.i use the airsoft batteries i have a 3s 2000 mah that fits perfect in each sponson, im surprised that they are 2000mah considering how small and thin they are. they are very cheap too check em out i think DR. jet uses same style. i've gone through the same struggles with finding the right brass colors. there's always just a little off in size. i did use a flex shaft but its the one available for barbwire wire boat . fits perfect didn't even need to trim the flex cable
I'm about to get back on the mg 17. Goat 50 plus mph. On 2s Motor is on the way
If we don’t want to cut the plastic what size cable fits in there
Hey man. How much to send you my Miss Geico for upgrades? I've wanted to up mine but I'm just not good with the electronics and crap. It's my favorite boat but I just don't take it out much because she's not very fast. Thanks for the videos.
God bless
I have one like that, I would like to put it just like you modified it. How can we send you mine and the money so that you can do it just like the one you made that boat?
As you can see in my profile pic, I have one, and idk if I wanna put a regular brushed setup in mine and make it a recovery pusher or if I wanna do something like this and make it speedy
You know any motor mounts I can buy on Amazon that fits this boat
I did same upgrade but boat wants to turn right hard.. using the stock plastic prop now. Any ideas? Thanks
MY 16" CAT CHARGER IS ALL READY TO GO. JUST WAITING FOR MY FLYSKY RADIO. I TOO HAD A BRUSHED MOTOR AND DID A CHANGE TO A 3S ESC AND 2324 MOTOR. BUT THE ANGEL OF THE STUFING TUBE WAS JUST AT A SLIGHT ANGEL. I GOT TWO 2S 1500 MAH BATTERYS FOR THE BOAT. ( ONE AT A TIME ). BUT I THINK I WILL GET TWO 3S BATTERYS . THEN WE WIL HAVE A SHOW DOWN. THE BOAT IS CALLED LITEHAWK CHARGER.
Yea man your build turned out pretty nice let me know how the maiden goes
Do you know were to find even smaller motors and motor mounts? Got PB Blackjack 9. needs a better motor mount.
You may need to make one, hard to find small motor mounts. Aluminum is easy to work with and bend prefect for small boats, You may get lucky on ebay?
If you want a cheaper one, there's an identical one it's called the HL3788
Thanks for the video. What size cable and stuffing tube should we get?
I'd go with a point 130 cable That cable will possibly fit in the stock call it a little bit more modifications
@@IRONCLADRC where do you recommend shopping for flex cable?
Where did you get your prop? Im having a hell of a time finding a prop for a 3mm shaft. I put a seaking 4800 kv motor in mine with a 2s lipo pack. the stock prop has too much rrsistance, the boat wants to torque roll under heavy throttle. I figure a smaller prop, metal preferably. But i cant find any. Just 1/8 shaft props
Yes sir ¹/8 props work perfectly. 427 octura or 430 octura from offshoreelectrics.com. once you put the ¹/8 prop on the shaft, drive dog, & nut it centers itself pretty well
Hi big b,were did you get the trim tabs for your black jack42?
Rc boat bitz BJ42 TT
You know any way to make a diy canopy top for boats
MY hull did not come with the top
Make one from balsa wood once done seal with epoxy
Building my miss Geico, what site did you buy your flex shaft from
Offshoreelectrics.com
She's running very gracefully! Nice job Big "B". I like how you use what you got. That odd size 3mm flex cable should hold up for a long time since it's slightly thicker than .098 flex cable which would be the obvious choice for this little boat. Like you mentioned, however, if you go with .098 flex cable, you can pick up a flex coupler from OSE that will fit the motor and flex cable, but it might be too long which will complicate the installation. The motor looks easy to remove, however, so it shouldn't be a problem. Like I said, though, stick with what you got especially since the boat is running so well. It would be cool if you could mount batteries in the sponsons, but it might not be possible because of space restrictions. Look forward to see what else you do to her.
I looked for a 2.3mm motor shaft 3mm flex thanks brother. collet/coupler for what seems like a month now. I've found Couplers the cheap Blue ones, I haven't seen any collet style Couplers. For 2.3mm to .98 or .130 shafts I looked everywhere? I want to get another 2440 for the mini mono but couldn't find the correct collet. Grrrr. Thanks again brother
I'm currently doing the same upgrade of motor, esc and the extended rudder bracket, what stuffing tube and flexcable do I need to order?
I'd get a .98 cable 1/8 shaft. I'm using .130 flex 1/8 shaft but it's overkill
@@IRONCLADRC how about stuffing tube? Have any links?
Great boat but you should make a video of where all the parts come from.
Links are in the description. Everything but the flexcable I got that locally
sorry for my ignorance but i am new at boats. i can fly anything, drive anything, but never had a boat. can you give me a little more specific info on the shaft and prop you use or at least would recommend to use? thanks.
sorry just finished video. 😅 do you have links to one you used?
Yes sir let me see if I can find something that will work for you give me a few minutes
.130 flexcable to 4mm to 1/8 should work with the stock collet. Here's the link. You will need the corresponding brass stuffing tube
This is basically the same set up I'm using
Flex cable www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ose-cable-1085
Stuffing tube www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ks-brass-tb-12
@@IRONCLADRC thanks so much for your quick response. any chance i can get a link for the correct prop? again, thank you for your help, you rock! 🤘
where did you get the 3mm shaft..i need one for my arrow 5 rc boat
Offshoreelectrics.com. .130 cable is about the same size give or take.
I've got one of these boats and the steering works but the propellor doesn't work
I would definitely need more information that I this to give a honest opinion
What dimensions do you recommend for the flex cable and stuffing tube?
.130 flex 1/8 shaft with the corresponding stuffing tube.
thanks, could you share a link to a cable and prop?@@IRONCLADRC
Do you have a link to the tube sizes please 👍
Pretty sure it's 7/32 brand k&s tube
You know any way to get the stock motor mount
You can make one fairly easy. Watch this video, different boat but the motor mount is very similar
th-cam.com/video/9egBIRYcfTg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hlLbiWK5bZ6W9i0N
And what size shalft is that I boat the same hull
.130 cable with 1/8 stub shaft
How much was all the upgrades? Motor esc extra?
If I remember right it was like 45 bucks? Give or take
How much to make me one?
do you have a link to the stuffing tube and shaft? and the coupler?
It was something I had in my parts bin
@@IRONCLADRC how about the specs of the parts?
I’d love to have mine upgraded. I got this exact boat at a own shop for $75. It has a brushless kit installed but vibrates so bad.
I know more of cars. Nothing on boats.
Yea man it's a fun boat for sure
@@IRONCLADRC I’d pay you to upgrade mine. I’ll ship it to you.
Anyone having issues with the stock motor burning out? Ran mine completely normal and my motor started smoking!!!
Brushed motors aren't quite as efficient as brushless motors
Did this boat come with a top
Yes it had a top
What is the blue engien for something
It's for the mini mono
What’s the length of the motor mount
2440. 40mm long
What flex shaft length will you recommend??
You'll need to cut the length custom once stuffing tube is installed
@@IRONCLADRC what flex shaft do you recommend.
. 98 flex 1/8 stub shaft would be the best option
@IRONCLAD RC OK i am offshore electric website and I will get order also will you recommend the 2440 or traxxas 380 motor
Would I need to run a bigger battery
? Not sure what the question is brother I need more information?
@@IRONCLADRC I've connected the battery as I should and only the steering works I can't get nothing else to work
Can you send the link to the motor mount on amamzon
Stock motpr mount in this video
@@IRONCLADRC do you know what the servos size is
I think that my friend is faster than your blackjack 24 hopeful you put a GPS run for this boat
What the Miss Geico 17?
