Video Overview

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.

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
