Overview

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 aluminium thumb screws, a clean moulded 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.

    Pro Boat has superb engineering compared to other ARTR boats, and this is no exception - metal prop, solid hardware, upmarket and upsized motor and ESC, solidly secured hatch with 4 thumbscrews on to a rubber seal, feels quite solid for a non-fibreglass boat, great graphics, appealing lines and proven performance. All ARTR boats can be improved a bit though, and I will be fitting a Boat Bitz CSS Upgrade kit - the trim tabs will be especially beneficial.

    These guys really helped me out big time as RC stores on the Gold Coast just don't stock Boat parts. I needed a new servo and receiver for my Blackjack 42 and after enquiring to almost every RC shop in Brisbane and Gold Coast was told that there were none in all of Australia Hobbies Direct found them for me. Very impressed with these guys and Mario was so efficient sorted it and got me going in a few days. Thanks Mario
