@@shannonspear8751 the v1 spartan I have does the trick. It would honestly have to be compared against the sonicwake. It really just seems traxxas rides horizons coat tails in terms of features sometimes
THE Black Jack 42, is running a Poly Carbonate Hull. It's slightly more durable than the Black Jack 24 (ABS Hull) . My own early erk, was PRO BOAT chose to run a Smaller KV. motor, to keep the electronics cooler, running 8S . and 50-55 , MPH, on a stock prop. They could have easily gotten 60Mph, with a 3800-4000 KV, and running 3 - 4 S , and in turn, saved on batterer expenses. . THE Traxas , M41, took the same approach, with the Stock Setup. A modified Black Jack 24, with the 4000 mill upgrade , did 30 mph on 2S . and 63 mph, on 4 S. I like smaller boats, with a "lot of attitude. "
I am trying to decide between the Sonicwake and the Blackjack. Local Store has several of Both in stock. They also have the 36 inch Miss Geico in stock... Hmm...
Dude... such a difficult decision!!! If you are new to boats and don't wanna swim for your capsized boat go the SW! The MG36 is the best quality boat out of those 3 thats for sure. The black jack is cool also.... I dunno I just think an MG36 trumps the BJ42. Let me know what you decide!!
Great to see a fellow Aussie on channel. That Black Jack is impressive. I have an M41 & Miss Geico 36, am thinking of getting a Sonicwake to add to the collection? Enjoyed your comparison vid mate, keep up the good work. ( VIC/NSW Border )
@@easternrc1924 Sure did. I actually picked up the sonicwake v2 today. With the upgrades they've done it should perform really well. Looking forward to giving her a run.
Awsome Boats! Im new to the Rc Boats, i just had Nitro an Elictric Rc Buggys/ Truggys in the past. I like those huge Rooster tails (fontains) on the back of the boat. Are there any things i can mod on the Sonicwake to get bigger rooster tails?
Have to agree, rooster tails are damned sweet haha problem with the sonicwake is you can really adjust the depth of the strut, only the angle of it, big roosters usually come from the prop being quite high in the water, go to far on this adjustment and the boats performance will start to be horrible. My advice, make the boat run good and you'll get the most enjoyment, rooster tails form nicely with a properly setup boat 👊
@@easternrc1924 Okay, thanks for the tip! Do you think the Sonicwake is the "best" 6s Mono boat or are there any other good options on the market in this pricerange? An hull would be for me a good option too because from the rc cars ive got teached that the Rtr Servos/ Motor esc combos are kinda overpriced and not the best for their price.
@@leo0528 the sonic is very good value for money imho but not the best mono hull by a long way. Stock electronics aren't too bad but the boat has to be setup really well to not cook the electronics. Id definitely swap out the speed controller at least for even just a flycolor 150amp (great esc for the price) Self righting is an awfully nice feature too, let's you give the boat a run in any condition with less fear of having the swim of shame haha
@@rcadventures4342 yeah ok fair enough, I'm keen to try a couple different ones for sure. Just gave mine a quick go in the 'pond's so much cavitation with stock!
The Sonicwake issues that i HAVE is you only get about 3 minutes of run time if you;re lucky, that's why I have bought the new Black jACK 42. The props for the BJ are the same SIZE AS MY sONICWAKE.
Hopefully some of the other videos I've uploaded will scratch that itch for you mate. No spartan doesn't self right, but definitely has a different drive style to the sonicwake
@@nomusicrc I think overall the sonicwake is better out of the box, and self righting is a major bonus. It's electronics are better, already has a 3/16 shaft vs 4mm in the spartan. Spartan is a nice riding boat, but I don't think it's quite the same quality as the sonicwake out of the box
I used some 9000mah 3s packs with 100c and got steady 50mph runs with better handling with no flips.Also got about 12minutes of run time.Only have 5000 Spektrum 4s 100c and boat is very over powered and likes to prop dance👀
"Whaddaya doin buddy ? Whaadddoya reckon ?" 🤣 Great vid brother. Beautiful Rc boats too 🥰
Now you need a Spartan SR round off the family

Mine last week as well❤️👍Wanted the white one but was gone when I ordered and settled for the black and still love it💪👀

When it comes to power, Enough is Good, More is Better, and TOO MUCH, is just Right!!!
Beautiful boat Ed! New blackjack is crazy wide 😱
She is very wide indeed, that should take care of the corner stability though
Which boat do you like best? I was thinking about purchasing the Traxxas but I like how the Blackjack is wider.
Hi mate, sorry I missed your message. I'd have to say, the Blackjack is definitely the superior boat

I'm sorry I never saw your message mate, thanks for leaving a comment and watching the video mate. You end up getting a sonicwake?

That’s a very nice new addition and a cool line up of boats 👍
Thanks mate, more to come!
They look awesome Ed. I’m actually gonna get the SW pretty soon once I’ve convinced the Mrs I need one. 🤣🤣🤣
Worth every penny mate!

Mate she is a sexy boat have me wanting to buy one now keen to see it in action nice comparison vid of other plastic style boats to keep it up
Thanks bro, see you out there soon dude! 👊
No body mentions Enforcer Boats. I been running my Super Gater for decades..The hull is fiberglass and the moter is a Zenogh..
Great boats mate. What are the must do upgrades for the m41. Just got one myself
Id say dual cooling and replace the ESC. Go a metal prop for some extra durability if you care to do so and send it!! Wicked little weapons!
Excuse me, where can I buy sonicwkae's double inlet rudder?
Check out RC Boat Bitz mate
Witch one is a better boat the sonic wake v2 or that black jack 42 am having a hard time deciding
Bj42 if you want something to work with more, SW is a throw in the water and good to go everytime kinda boat
These look great ☺️ i like most catamaran
Thanks brother!!
Under a $1000 ? Damn how much are they? I was thinking about getting into this but I guess my pockets aren't that deep.
Thats Australian dollars if you hadn't figured, also that's just the boat. Still need batteries and charger on top!
Nice comparison, really enjoying mine so far 👍🏽
Thanks mate, I'm dying to get out with it haha family priorities first though!
Have you tried any different props or anything?
Eastern RC only tried a stock Miss Geico prop 64 mph with that one but very windy...
@@rcadventures4342 yeah ok fair enough, I'm keen to try a couple different ones for sure. Just gave mine a quick go in the 'pond's so much cavitation with stock!
Eastern RC yea the stock prop is horrible...
What prop is on the pro boat?
Which proboat? I run RCBB 4814 props on them both these days
just picked up my blackjack 42 as well, same color shes awesome! but can i ask what and where you get aftermarket props from? thanks
Ill be posting a video up soon regarding prop choices mate
Rc boat bitz is a good place in Australia
@@easternrc1924 very cool thank you, ill be awaiting your vids! ill be posting some vids myself of my boats here in the states soon!
The Sonicwake issues that i HAVE is you only get about 3 minutes of run time if you;re lucky, that's why I have bought the new Black jACK 42. The props for the BJ are the same SIZE AS MY sONICWAKE.
Thats very helpful to know, I will try the rc boat bitz prop on the BJ42 for sure then.
What batts you running in the sonic?
I average 5 minutes with dual 3s 70c 5200 goldbat champion lipos in the sonicwake, stock.
Which one do you like better between the m41 and blackjack 42?
Tough choice, but id have to say I prefer the blackjack for its power and driving style
should i get the m41 or the blackjack?
Blackjack dude, for sure
Check out DarkStudio wrap and look at my SonicWake after the wrap💪❤️
Sorry I missed your comment mate. I have e seen those wraps, look awesome but dang, he doesn't miss you on the $$$'s!!
I was expecting to see them running in this video but it's still a good comparison I had the Spartan but it doesn't self right like the Sonic wake
Hopefully some of the other videos I've uploaded will scratch that itch for you mate.
No spartan doesn't self right, but definitely has a different drive style to the sonicwake
@@easternrc1924 how is it different from the Sonic week I'm going to be buying one of them shortly
@@nomusicrc I think overall the sonicwake is better out of the box, and self righting is a major bonus. It's electronics are better, already has a 3/16 shaft vs 4mm in the spartan.
Spartan is a nice riding boat, but I don't think it's quite the same quality as the sonicwake out of the box
@@easternrc1924 thank you for the positive feedback about the sonicwake makes me feel better about getting it
Hi 😊👍 not a bad effort for an Australian 😳😊👍 Thanks for showing this is good
A typical kiwi comment I suppose haha cheers mate I'll try to keep em coming
Awesome!
