Pro Boat Blackjack 42″ Brushless 8s Catamaran RTR [VIDEO]

From Horizon Hobby:
The Pro Boat® Blackjack™ 42 Brushless 8S Catamaran is a return to the days of large-scale racing boats taking on all comers with style and speed. The 8S-rated Spektrum™ 160A High Voltage, water-cooled, Smart™ electronic speed controller works tirelessly to power the Spektrum™ Marine 4685 4 Pole, water-cooled motor which is capable of producing up to 5.3 horsepower and hitting 55+ MPH! There is no other boat in this size, with this much power, at such an affordable value. Of course, everything is controlled by the Spektrum Smart™ System making this speed demon incredibly intelligent. A Spektrum DX3™ Transmitter and waterproof SR6110AT 6-Channel Telemetry Receiver keeps everything tightly connected for an interference free operation with built-in telemetry. The Blackjack also features an impact resistant polycarbonate hull, polycarbonate canopy with aluminum thumb screws, a clean molded composite interior, and an aluminum rudder and propeller strut. Lay your cards on the table and make the lake your own with the Pro Boat Blackjack 42 Catamaran.

Impact Resistant Polycarbonate Hull

Two piece shoe box construction for extreme hull durability. Molded composite material is much more impact resistant than fiberglass.

Polycarbonate Canopy

Durable polycarbonate provides a watertight seal and the thumb screws mean no tape is necessary to retain the canopy on to the hull.

Spektrum™ Marine 4685 4 Pole, Water-cooled Motor

Rated at over 5 horsepower with 85%+ efficiency, this powerful 8S capable brushless and waterproof motor provides more than enough torque to hit 55+ MPH.

Spektrum™ Smart 160A High Voltage, Water-cooled ESC

Able to handle all the power needed, it is programmable, water-cooled, waterproof, and Smart.

Clean Molded Composite Interior

This adds rigidity and strength to the hull. The interior is wood-free to avoid rot and decay. The grease cup prevents grease from spreading inside.

Aluminum Propeller Strut and Rudder

Both the propeller and rudder feature anodized aluminum. The rudder has a special break away feature that protects the hull from damage in case floating debris is struck.

DX3 Transmitter Smart™ Enabled

Never lose sight of your battery capacity when using Smart™ LiPo batteries in the ProBoat Blackjack 42. The included Smart™ Transmitter communicates with the included Smart™ ESC and Receiver to show you the boat’s remaining battery capacity on the DX3™.

SR6110AT 6CH Telemetry Receiver

The waterproof receiver ensures an interference free operation.

S904 1/6 Scale WP Digital Servo

The high torque digital servo provides all the necessary power. Waterproofing makes sure the servo is up to the task of being in a boat without the risk of failure do to getting wet.

Boat Stand

This custom molded plastic stand fits perfectly to the contour of the hull providing a rock stable platform to display or work on your boat. This boat stand will last for the life of your boat without the need to worry about water rotting a wooden stand.
