Miss Geico 36" Twin Brushless Catamaran. Great looking boat but..is it worthy?  

Thanks man...Great speed potential out of a great looking boat💯

Thanks brother, we are fortunate to be able to run there😀

You can find them still found one today for $892!

Thanks good info. I would say the carbon inlay is a must if your running high speed.

@@goin4brokerc do you still have yours?

@obi yeah but its got some cracks in the Hull already so I'm gonna need to do something to strengthen it if it's not too late😬

@@goin4brokerc mine has cracks on the bottom where the battery tray is. It's just the gel coat. Believe me man carbon fiber is the way. Gives you peace of mind. I just drove it for the first time and WOW. I love it.

@obi lol yeah peace of mind needed. I had a UL19 go down after a bad flip up and it sunk efore we could get the rescue boat to it. Talk about a bad day geez

Thanks for watching and thanks for the input. I have the Proboat Alpha Patrol boat and a homemade retrieval rack as my rescue setup that works great, just didn't have it out yet in the vid🤪

@@goin4brokerc 😅 Funny I just finished putting together the pusher for my Proboat Aerotrooper Airboat last weekend, Rock on!

You can't adjust strut

I'm sorry but if you run ONE 6s battery to each ESC then you'll have 22,2v (6s) to each motor...if you run 4 3s batteries in series you'll have 44,4v (12s) to the motors. So no it's not the same. One 6s battery per ESC is the same as 2 3s batteries in series per ESC tough. Also the "s" in "6s" stands for "series" and means that the battery pack is made of 6 cells in series (all lipo cells are 3,7v) you could also have a pack that says "6s2p" and that pack is made of 12 cells connected 6 in series and 2 parallel for higher amp draw

@@joccee88 its only 6S to each ESC. first you remove the stock adapter which connects to both ESCs. Then you need 2 separate series adapters (sold separately)for each ESC. And then (2) 3S batteries are connected in series to each ESC separately to create 6S to each ESC. That's how I run it with 4 batteries. Check out the latest video we made of it with the (4) 3S battery setup.

Lol yes its definitely fun, fast and capable🔥🚀.

Yes I would agree with that🎯🔥

Yes I did that on my most recent run yesterday and it helped tremendously. Boat was super stable👌. Im still nervous about going 4 batts because of the last Geico disaster🤣. So looks like 72mph is a good capable speed with 2 batts. Thanks for watching

@@goin4brokerc I'm pretty happy with 70ish mph.

What are you using for gps to get your max speed?

The Hull on the Geico is fragile and needs to be strengthened. Some guys are doing Carbon/Epoxy inlays and similar to strengthen it. The Electronics and cooling are good to go. No upgrades needed. And it's fast and turns good stock out of the box. Looks stunning as well. But more than likely, sooner or later, if you drive it 75mph and have a bad crash, it will damage the hull if not strengthened. Never had the Blackjack but I have a SonicWake with the same type Hull material as the Blackjack, and it is has some flex and can take 55mph crashes no problem. So I'm assuming the slower speeds stock and different Hull material, would make the Blackjack the more durable option. I'm going to get one for the channel soon.

I guess if you keep the geico under 70 your good to go. Lol anyway I probably would use no more then 3s anyway in series anyway. Speed is not my main goal anyway but looks now we're talking lol

Get them both ! Haha thats what i did ! 👍🏼🤙🏼

@@treyrahman I did lol! I'm not a basher of my boats not to mention what speed can I get out of these boats. I'm recreational and just having a good time at the lake. Getting the speed that the company says you can get is more then enough for me.

Minimal amounts at times. Im assuming its coming from the stuffing tube/flex shaft even tho I grease it every other run. I tighten the canopy down real good also.

I didn't actually crash into anything, the boat flipped at high speed (80+) and came down hard and bad. I had to send the boat back to them so they could inspect the damage and process the refund. All it takes is one bad high speed flip over to potentially damage the fiberglass hull because the boat is so fast.

Thanks for the input man sounds like what I need.

Just a little goes a long way so test before you use it👍One ounce makes about a softball size expansion when mixed 50/50 and very strong.

Possible if you got really good batteries.

@@goin4brokerc Are Spektrum 6s 5000 mah 100c good enough ? Lollll

@@goin4brokerc where do you get your foam tubing inserts you had inside towards the front ?

@@treyrahman Those prolly won't get it over 80mph. You meed atleast 7000mah 120 C batts for optimum performance

@@goin4brokerc noted. Thank you. I have 100c 5000mah 6s Spektrums.

Not stock out of the box my guy. Guys are getting over 90mph and even 100mph with 2 batteries only with Dasbota and other upgraded props not stock. And 4 batteries (2 in series) to each ESC does make it faster that's why they have that option. I know from experience with the last boat.

@@goin4brokerc no, no it doesn’t. Dude I had the zelos 36 and y neighbor has the geico. Two batts vs 4 batts, speed and power is the same bud, gps checked too

@@jaycevessier7554 OK my guy that's you and your neighbors experience. We will make a video of the 4 battery setup (with the same type batts mah a c rating) like in this vid and see what happens. My experience with my previous Geico it was faster with 4 batts with 2 in series. Stay tuned for the vid

@@goin4brokerc the only reason the mph would change is because the boat is more stable with 4 batts because of the extra weight. Sorry man it’s just been proven time and time again. The only thing 4 batts does is make it’s heavier and runs longer, not faster

@@jaycevessier7554 I read your first comment wrong. Yes guys get over 90mph with (2) 6S batts. I'm referring to the (2) 3S batteries like in the vid, connected with parallel connectors not (2) 6S batts that you referred to. (4) 3S batteries... where (2) SETS of 3S batts are connected in series with series adapters to create 6S going to each ESC which makes it just as fast as running with (2) 6S like u mentioned. Surely you see my point and that is what is suggested in the owners manual.. Going to do a video anyway with (2) 3S vs. the (4) 3S batteries in series to show all. 4 batts does helps stabilize the boat like you mentioned.

Depends on batts. The 3S 7000mah in the vid usually last about 5 - 6 min. Running (4) 3S or (2) 6S batts with same 7000mah should get me increased run time but I havent run it with those setups to know the run time just yet. Will be doing a vid soon showing that tho.

Haha I wish. I sent the other boat back to Horizon Hobby and got a refund because the boat was out of stock at the time
