I have used 7200mah 2s packs and get about 10 minutes, which I’m more than happy with. I had to mess with the strut to stop the proposing and did the strut mod. It still moves pretty good but my Atomic on 4s is faster. My lake isn’t that big so I’ve been using 4s. It was stupid fast when he dropped it off.

I have not pulled it so I don’t know which one. The PO put an aluminum prop on it and ran 6s. I can't imagine that the running surface of the hull is all that different. I'm not entirely sure what the changes were to the different BJ versions other than the obvious hatch difference (old version has rounded edge on front of hatch) and the component tray is no longer wood. The good thing about the BJ is there is more informative threads on it to get me started in the right direction. However, from what I've read about the BJ and Geico 29, it shouldn't be that difficult to dial it in. I'm hoping I can get the BJ 29 to run as flat and turn as well as my Atomic without too much headache. I'm currently running the Atomic on 4s with only some minor tweaks to the strut, otherwise all stock and it runs great. Granted I'm very happy with the Atomic, but figured I'd step up my game to something slightly larger and fiberglass. I randomly found it on Offer Up last night and decided to upgrade from my current Volantex Atomic. I'm actually picking up a used V2 (I think anyway, but definitely not a V3) after work today. Thanks, again, I'm new to the hobby, and I know the BJ 29 is old news. To the moderators, if this post is too redundant, I understand, but then can you please move this post to the appropriate thread and get that thread pinned to the main electric race boat forum so that I don't have to use the search in order to locate? Replace ESC & Motor right outta the gate and go. Run it till you blow components, then upgrade.ģ. So, I'd like to see what you veteran guys would do with this boat, as in:ġ. While under normal usage I would be fine running 2S with a larger prop, I'm a speed guy so I'm gonna wanna dabble with 3S especially since this is our first cat. And, I've also read of it's potential issues with the hull, ESC, and wood components. I picked up a NOS Blackjack 29 V2 according to what I've read. So, for that reason, and because as I read other threads, it appears resurrecting old ones is frowned upon, I wanted to start a current one.

Before I go further, yes, I was able to find some other threads about this boat but only through searching and I don't see any of them as main headings however.
