You have a very fine collection of beautiful boats. Your animal ran super in the last couple of minutes in the vid. What speeds have you been able to achieve with your Animal ? 6 or 8 s props ? Thank you Sub ing 🖐️🤙
I had a 1/5 scale 2 stroke Hydro. one of the coolest looking boats I've had in my opinion. I just don't like dealing with the gas, getting it started and warmed up, and lugging that big sucker down to the water just to run maybe 35-40mph. I'll watch the gas guys all day long, cool boats but I prefer FE.
I have a fast cat called a Mystic114. They are very, very fast. But they also have to be perfectly balanced, or you will have blow overs.I run duel motors. I recently just upgraded motors to TP motors and castle xlx2 hydras.
Boats around 114cm are definitely more likely to take flight than my 145cm boat. But they can handle the flips a lot better, flipping a 145cm boat there's a good chance something will break.
I'm waiting for a sale on the Proboat Blackjack 42. I have 4S packs for my Jetstream that will fit in it. One thing I don't understand is how the cats are trimmed to be stable at speed on one run. Then the next pass, with no changes, has them five feet in the air cart wheeling to a crash. I'm not looking to be plastic welding together a broken Blackjack hull every weekend.
The BJ42 is a very fun boat but definitely needs trim tabs installed. I prefer the Blackjack 42 tabs from RC Boat Bittz. Need to go ahead and order the dual cooling kit for it also the RCBB has. Play around with the stock prop at first to get the feel for it. Should run low to mid 50's right out of the box.
@@bryanhulsey406 50mph sounds good as my Jetstream is fun at only 25-ish mph. One thing that leaned me towards the BJ was the Traxxas offerings having that leaky rubber water jacket around the motor. The upgrades the Spartan needs brings it close to the BJ price.
Fortunately I haven’t had to repair my BJ42 hull yet, except for drilling 4 small holes 🕳 the hull to install the RC boat bitzs trim tabs and another water line cooling hose hole 🕳. First time I flipped mine was when I installed 120C batteries with 10 gauge wires, then the BJ42 started to be a beast, wait till you prop it up.
Nice collection of Cat's. Do you FILL/REENFORCE your Front Pontoon's Tips with Epoxy & Shredded Carbon Fiber Fiberglass ? Also, if you don't mind sharing do you RUN your Props...... inboard or outboard on your Cat's? I'll be keeping an eye on your channel.... THANKS
I have filled the tips on the fiberglass zonda but not the rest of them. The Bulgarians are a lot thicker and stronger than any RTR boat you will ever buy. The carbon zonda I feel like will eventually come apart but for now it has been holding up pretty well. For prop rotation the zondas, mti, and drambui turn outward. The animal, bulgarians, and twin bj turn inward.
It all started from a wrecked Geico 36. Swapped motors and ESC's over the BJ. Bought motor mounts from OSE and mounted motor them the same disrance back as the Miss Geico. That way i could always just use Miss Geico flex shafts for replacements. Also uses Miss Geico drives out back. Had to do a little griding on them to raise them up higher but not a big deal.
that run was actually with some balanced and sharpened miss gieco proboat props, the temps don't get too bad at all with those. When i run the Super Zondas from Dasboata I can only run 1 or 2 passes and everything is hot
Phoenixx, they don't fully sink. Keep the whole front of the boat stuffed with pool noodles and the front tips of the boat will still stay above water even if you do split the hull and it fills with water.
MHZ would probably be the easiest FE ready hull to purchase. Bonzi boats are excellent gas boats but not sure how well they would hold up to a high speed crash.
I’ve pulled 17 kw out of the 3040. Very nice boats. Thanks for sharing
Looking forward to seeing what you can do this season.
Absolutely awesome
Man fantastic video thanks for posting, you have some really Awesome boats.. 💯👍

Subbed. Awesome boats!
Looks like it's going to be a fantastic year

Cool video bro. I subbed for more awesome rc boat action😊
Did he say he's in Missouri. Nice fast boats.
Yes we're in mid Missouri
Watching those cats takeoff like an airplane reminds me of why I don’t have them anymore,so frustrating
got to tune them to keep em planted.
👏👏👏
I have a scale unlimited hydro which I'd like to ready for summer with a 2-stoke.

You have to put trim tabs on them period. I’ve gotten mine figured out for the most part and can consistently play at 75 all day

@@bryanhulsey406 yeah there’s just no keeping it on the water without them. The rcbb tabs are huge haha

Could you share some more details about the black jack 42 twin build? I would love to do that to mine.
It all started from a wrecked Geico 36. Swapped motors and ESC's over the BJ. Bought motor mounts from OSE and mounted motor them the same disrance back as the Miss Geico. That way i could always just use Miss Geico flex shafts for replacements. Also uses Miss Geico drives out back. Had to do a little griding on them to raise them up higher but not a big deal.

there is another video on the channel with more pics and videos of the Twin BJ
Those passes @7:11 holy $h!t. Have you checked your temps after a few passes? Curious to know those numbers.
that run was actually with some balanced and sharpened miss gieco proboat props, the temps don't get too bad at all with those. When i run the Super Zondas from Dasboata I can only run 1 or 2 passes and everything is hot
BAD A$$ 🤘😎🤘
What RTR model other than the pro oat would you recommend I get?
I would go to offshore electronics and look at what TFL offers. Offshore electronics also has a few of their own boats they sell as well.
Are you running standard esc non water cooled on some of your boats ?
some of my boats have surface ESCs converted to watercooled.
How do you find the boat after it sinks? I had one sink, never to be found.
Phoenixx, they don't fully sink. Keep the whole front of the boat stuffed with pool noodles and the front tips of the boat will still stay above water even if you do split the hull and it fills with water.
How do I get in touch with Brian buaas?
I originally reached out to him on facebook, he's the only one the pops up when i search for him from Oregon
Thought this was gonna be about stock race boats.
I wish I built RTR boats for a living. Sorry if the video was misleading.
Where do you find the large 50+” boats?
Bonzi carries a lot. You can also order directly from MHZ and HPR. Even Offshore Electronics has a couple of 50"+ hulls to buy.
Bought mine from bonzi 54" fountain gas motor sick boat best one I've owned yet
MHZ would probably be the easiest FE ready hull to purchase. Bonzi boats are excellent gas boats but not sure how well they would hold up to a high speed crash.
How to order
What's that Quattro boat? It's killer!! Where can I get one?
it is a bulgarian hull custom painted
