An channel show casing Rc boats, from Rc boat set ups, propeller choices and testing on select Rc boats in my collection. time to time helpful how to videos and general having fun. Just like everybody else im a hobbyist having fun and learning new things. Its always changing and you’re always learning.
Yes having a hook or concave like that hull has will kill speed, due to sucking the hull to the water. You can also get the opposite in a hull that has a rocker in the hull, where the hull has a convexe or bulges out at the rear area of the hull bottom. That will cause the hull to porpoius back & forth. I also like to scuff the bottom of the hull with 400grit sandpaper back & forth direction, taking off the smooth polished surface of the hull. This reduces surface tension between the hull & water surface.
All I've done with my blackjack 24 is that I got the stock prop sharpen and balance and run two 2s spectrum lipos 100cs and my new dx6 rugged spectrum radio and I'm almost as fast as you I also put in a better steering so any this RC is fun to bash with
@@TheS4jordan that’s no problem, right now me and MrMad2424 hold the fastest speed for 4s at 62 mph except I’m running a 120 amp esc. Of I went 6s I could make it faster. ABC 1714 prop and 6s bro should do it, Or 1814. But lately I’ve been trying to sort that bounce out of it. As that’s the only thing annoying from it.
@palehorse7377 That might be to some people but for myself, I like to try to push everything to its limits and my skill set. I have no problem holding full throttle and not lifting when running a boat, especially an ovals. This blackjack 24 is a Squirrley boat and Turning, it likes to hook. Still working out the tune on it to push it harder into the corners. I have a video further down my list. You’re more than welcome to check out. This was my contribution to Big B ironclad to the challenge. 34in black pearl Hydro was my entry and full throttle did not let up never lift with multiple laps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bLhpFeFeuOY.htmlsi=Mjwad0pk817a_Q-f
Looking forward to seeing the build man! Do you have any experience with Deltaforce hulls? I’m interested in Seaducer just wondering how the quality compares with a Deltaforce.
@@M14armorer in my opinion, the Seaducer boat is better and the fiberglass is thicker and it’s carbon fiber lined as well. Then it’s made out of Florida I believe and hand made so the quality control is much better. With lots of options as well. Then what I have seen of the delta boats You will have to do some reinforcing and carbon inlays to help strengthen up the hull to my opinion. Seaducer is already done Then what I have see in my local clubs delta VRs seaducer. The seaducer hull seems to run so much better over there the delta boats. Still saying that the Delta are decent boats for the price but the seaducer to me is a better step up of a boat
One other thing, the firma 120 isn’t a direct drop in replacement. It mounts to the mounts but hits the motor. Could you come up with an adapter to make it a bolt in? Mines stuck behind the oem mount with scotch dual lock.
I have created a new mount for the esc and moves it slightly forward and mounting the new 120 amp esc to the stock post and to the carbon fiber mount. In video posted few days ago, New Changes and modifications 10 mins in I show this new way to mounting the esc. does require removing a bit of foam to make room for the 120 amp esc but does look cleaner
@@FEboats the Mötley Crüe is a bad ass boat. I wish they still made those. 2200 from the blackjack 24 I would think would make a good motor for it. Currently, this one is running dynamite 2000 KV as my daughter drives it right now racing. I told her when she gets a little bit better a Don huff leopard 2200kv motor and Abc 1815 we’ll go into it, making it much faster.
@@mad_lizard oh that’s awesome! When the motley crew first came out I had a leopard 2200 and hydra 240 in it. Very fast! I’ve got 2 of them one with the stock tub and one with a carbon inlay like yours. Those videos are still floating around RU-vid.
I can attest to the fact that Mad Lizard Products aren't just good...their great. I have the original adapter plate for installing at TFL Stinger on the SonicWake V1, and it's still holding up, no problems. More recently, I was the first person to get the aluminum adapter plate for installing 3rd-party ESCs in the SonicWake V2. Put another way, Mad Lizard Products is to RC boats what Vitavon Racing Development is to land-based RC vehicles.
I love that spot!! Minus the high voltage power lines!! lol Keep up your testing and I know you will come up with something that works better than what came stock!!
@@RDM3DLAB the power lines are the only bummer side of that spot. But they don’t seem to affect range or anything with the remote. It’s a good secluded area for the most part Thank you, and yes, you’re right overtime. It will be perfected. I’m always improving stuff as time goes.
Mad Lizard gear is so cool, his parts / upgrades are so much better than stock and if you have the Proboat Jetstream his 3rd servo Nozzle trim upgrade is a must
@@Mr-pm3jp good fins are hard to come by. I have a 1/10 scale turn fin custom design and had made for me even having it powder coated, in black to give a scale look. So far performance and hooking in a corner been great. Probably could scale it up to the 1/8 size. Already have scaled it up to 1/7 size for another boat. You can shoot me an email at madlizardproducts@gmail.com if you’re interested.
Definitely interested! I'd take 2 right now, maybe 3 lol. Need 1/8, but I like BIG, you think the 1/7 is too much lol? Don't need the powder coat, but the scale look is what I'm most interested in! I will be emailing you soon! Thank you!
@@RDM3DLAB currently I don’t but I can easily design and make something yes! Currently, I have the blackjack 42 is the standard size servo carbon fiber converse mount to a smaller servo.
@@RDM3DLAB yes, at www.madlizardproducts.com. For the servo mount conversion. Then if you would like you could send me an email at madlizardproducts@gmail.com so we can talk about the ESC tray That you’re looking for.
Hey bud I have both BJ24 V1 and the BJ42! I have a 3D printer Bambu lab p1s but I'm crap when it comes to design. If you ever needed help with production I could help. I'm more of a wing it type of guy lol. I heard great things about your products.
@@RDM3DLAB Cad work can be very difficult. I still find myself pulling my hair out at times,once in a while. Lol I highly appreciate the offer and it’s very considerable as to the point when the man out exceeds my capabilities, there will be a time when looking for places of additional manufacturing and stocking of items. Everything I produce is either out of Abs, polycarbonate, carbon fiber, polycarbonate, nylon glass fiber. To ensure the greatest strength and durability of parts.
@mad_lizard wow bud thank you for that. Yes I agree it can get stressful trying to get through the learning curve. I'm retired and I'd love to be apart of what your doing. If there was any way I could help, let me know. I have grown to love this hobby and the community of great people.
@@FEboats yes and that is a good idea. I seen it like that out of the box and being very high up. However, I wanted to run it out of the box on that position to see what happens and what the boat tells me it wants Before making any bigger corrections That change is up next
Hi Ryan, it’s good to see some younger guys making boat parts. Most of the guys I grew up buying parts from have passed on with nobody to replace them. Can I order the bj24 trays? My bj24 is running mid 80’s right now.
@@FEboats well thank you much appreciated with your comment. Yes there’s not many people left. Still making parts hard to find, This is why I got into it as to help the hobby out. For the trays yes, They are still experimental and need more beta testing before fully releasing. But if you’re interested, I can send you a set of trays to give them a try and test, any feedback would be helpful for any changes or updates or anything needed. Madlizardproducts@gmail.com You can send me an email and we can work out something.
@@FEboats it is a bummer having to do that with the stock trays. I think in a stock configuration for just messing around but having more adjustability on those trays would have been nice. What inspired me to make something custom for the boat. Honestly, Velcro, I actually use that stuff on a lot of my boats, and not fumbling around with straps
Running good! Just lost my 1817, flex cable broke. Waiting for another to arrive from Amazon. I removed my trays because they kept coming loose during testing.
@@FEboats ouch that sucks I’ve never had good luck with the stock pro boat cables. I lost a 1717 along time ago as well. Soon, I will be doing the same thing. Upgraded cable Hd version. I can see that, the tray is coming loose they seem very thin plastic. I just didn’t like how the trays are in only one position and can’t be moved around. Why to these trays. Smart upgrade the cable
What about a flooded stuffing tube? Use a 1/4"ST no liner in a large carbonfiber tube mounted in the center ski? You could get more up and down trim adjustments? Only downfall is mounting the large carbonfiber tube to the polycarbonate? Getting adhesive to stick to polycarbonate may be tough, possibly find a large grommet to accommodate the large Cf Flooded tube?
I honestly thought about doing a flooded stuffing tube. My thoughts removing the rear Gromit. Install a short length. Brass tube that is the size of the opening, 3/8 something like that. This allows, a 1/4 tube to pass through the 3/8 tube. Then use a steering linkage rubber boot over the 3/8 tube and 1/4 stop water from coming in. Right now I took a little bit bend out of the stuffing tube to drop down further. Right now there is a slight downward angle, but being able to move the batteries back might be work. It’s worth a retest on the new strut position
You should see all Ryan's stuff for the Proboat Jetstream especially all the bits that break and an awesome 3rd servo for on the fly nozzle trim adjustment - keep up the grate work
@@TheS4jordan this is actually Ryan as this is my channel. This video here is going over a new part I’m going through designing and development for the blackjack 24. Something new that might be coming out.
@@mad_lizard HI Ryan, I do appreciate Mad Lizard is you / your channel the comment was more for those less aware you do all the Provost Jetstream stuff too, maybe you need to do an update video on that too and all the parts you do.
Battery Tray idea is cool, that's actually very smart. Maybe the servo can be flipped so the servo horn is on the outside servo mounted center so the rod doesn't need to be bent? Direct drop in? IDK.
@@IRONCLADRC thank you for the comment. Flipping the servo is actually a good idea, no bending the linkage and in line with most of the electronics. Great idea
one of my trim tabs broke but i can't get the screws out because it seems the plastic threads have been stripped at the factory. Any suggestions for how to get the screws out?
@@funeralatpizzahut You might have to cut the screw If you can send me an email at madlizardproducts@gmail.com. With a couple photos, I’ll be more than happy to help out.
Does look great! Don't forget to add flotation where needed, cowl etc... I like to paint the undersides of the cowl(s) and hull white. May add a tiny bit f weight but, if it helps to keep the boat from being run over... And the white paint doesn't have to be perfect.
Right now I’m still in development stages of testing. More likely soon making it available to the public I’m making a couple prototypes for a few other people right now for testers for feedback and anymore research Maybe in a couple weeks coming soon
I am aware they did make some changes from when they released it to now correcting a few previous issues, especially with the trim tabs. V2 currently. Self righting is a drawback with this boat, unfortunately and how beautiful it looks in the scale does make it a drawback. Reasonings I did something like this here. And maybe this might get enough attention for them to look into an option for a V3. It’s not the first time proboat has made some changes based on my findings and fix’s
The flipping I did on purpose, hitting full reverse at speed to get the boat to flip. Using the bucket reverse. Normal operation the boat is very stable and trying something new as idea as an extra reassurance for rivers and sketchy places. It’s a concept idea.
@@mad_lizard Like the concept but slightly concerned weight up top and the degree it seems to roll in corners as in white water it would spend 1/2 it's time upside down and why I stopped when it came too close too often
@@TheS4jordan in Whitewater rapids always concerned about rolling it and then having to get it. I’ve been experimenting with something like this. This is not hundred percent confirmed and trying a different concept. Experimenting with something new. The weight was a concern when I was designing this and made it as light as possible and weighing out only 3.5 ounces. The red top is only really a cap. The cap is only 2 mm thick trying to make it as light as possible, Under the cap is a 2 inch thick foam block. The foam is what I’m trying to cover up using the cap and secure. With the idea of flotation on top for Center of balance change allowing for it to roll back over. I will post another video with detail assembly and how it’s put together with more testing in white water.
@@mad_lizard get where you're coming from as had a similar idea with a balloon which I first tried inside the cockpit and whilst enough to lift the boat it wasn't enough to roll it back unless on the roof and hence the RNLI idea as it kept the weight low
I’m using aftermarket trim tabs mounts. I broke mine off a long time ago of the original, designed a new mount through bolted and made from nylon. Link to replacement if you’re looking. www.madlizardproducts.com/product-page/bolt-on-nylon-trim-tab-mounts-fits-the-jet-stream
Hey, I just finished building a 10th scale hydro and am running the tenshock motor and castle esc. Just out of curiosity, where are you setting up your CG. At the moment im limited to room and i am about 70mm behind the turn fin.
Same thing what I was faced when trying to get the COG just right. I added weight in this Sponson to get it moved up further I would have to get back to you on exact measurement. However, I want to say I’m just over an inch behind the Sponson. Just slightly back from center of turn fin.
The second turn fin really adds to the fun factor with this hull highly recommended to anyone with a scord, mini mono, mini dom. Nice work ryan and thanks for the shout out..
