Servo controled Power Trim & Dx5 Rugged Upgrade Proboat Jetstream Modifications 

Jb weld makes black plastic bonder now. I just picked some up to fix my buddies sonicwake.

Great vid! Just grabbed one of these today! Gonna do this mod!

I have a 40" Deep vee Donzi with a scale Bravo 3 counter rotating props set up as a Blackhawk drive. The drive has power tilt. I also have a 36" Scale SK Drag Boat with power cavitation plates.

Imagine a jet boat with a hydra castle and a 2028 1100kv motor!!! I heard jet stream has an aluminum kit

Nice work as always! I just ordered my Jetstream. My wife is gonna flip when she sees a big box delivered on my porch. Gonna have to sell one or two of my boats cause space has become a problem. I'm going to do the same power trim mod, but I think I'll keep the reverse bucket just for the cool factor. I don't think the nozzle needs to go up as high as you have yours set on the full up position. I can't see ever needing that much up trim. Some clever grinding on the reverse nozzle to remove a little material might help reduce the thrust blockage when trimmed up. I also still think that turn fins might help the boat stay a little more planted while cornering. Turn fins really helped lock in my Tear Into jet boat before I retired it. Cheers!

I haven’t even worked with boats for years, but I simply enjoy your innovation and watching a fellow at his craft. Yessirbuddy!!!

When installing this transmitter and receiver combo out of the box is there any programming required?

Cool mod. It looks like with some slight clearancing of the rear deck. You could do some blending of the reverse bucket and trim channels and keep both.

Nice upgrade for the nozzle, I have thought about putting the 160amp esc from the BJ 42 into this boat and running 6s 😊. Thank you for your many wonderful ideas and builds.

Don't hit any rocks with this bad boy. They break like glass. Look cool scale though

I’ve modded the crap outa mine. The steering nozzle will hit things. I like the transmitter enabled trim, however. That little servo will strip in a collision where there rear spins around and nozzle nails a rock. Like the mod, however ……..give us an update after some runs👍🏻

Nice! I did the same as well. I also put in an Eco Power WP110S to give it a bit more speed too. Probably will have to do the 120 amp ESC upgrade next to get it running on 6S. Just got back from filming and editing a bashing video in the rapids. Sunk it and had to go for a swim 😬

I was surprised how many upgrades are needed to get telemetry. Wish they had at least used a DSMR TX/RX in . Now I have to decide between the DX3+blu tooth module or the DX5 rugged.

U didn't finish it all in one video and a test run ? 😮

Neat idea. I've been thinking about how trim tabs attached to something like an AR630 might work... I can't decided if it would bounce or actually keep the nose level in chop. I suppose it would depend on the size and weight of the boat.

This mod is cool but when you adjusted trim on this you need to adjusted the reverse bucket as well. If you trim up the bucket hits the transom and trim down the bucket covers the jet output hindering performance. So it's a cool mod but doesn't work well if you have the reverse bucket. The original jet boat had this as an option to put a servo in but it didn't have a reverse bucket. I thought about this when I ordered mine but now seeing this I won't be doing this mod.

I want to set up another water pick up just for the motor , i dont like how the wayer has to pas the esc then to the motor .. what would you suggest, im new to the boat scene haha

Another awesome video, so helpful and you must be psychic

Give that reverse bucket to Wilke in case he has to bail some water out great job on the VTS how about a duck dive

so all that work you could of used the reverse bucket setup for your trim....lol

For all receivers the black lead wire always goes to the outer edge.

Nice work! You got skills man, for sure.

You're gonna have one heck of a roostertail. Nice work B. Video looks good, thanks for the effort

Good job 👍👍
