Proboat Recoil 26 with RCBB upgrades is rough water
Просмотров 2613 месяца назад
had a high pitch 3 blade prop on there which is great for smooth water but terrible for getting out of the whole in these conditions. The esc never worked again after this run, this is the second one after the first one only lasted 1 run and was replaced by the dealer. Its time for an RCBB electronic upgrade i think! www.rcboatbitz.com

custom built rc jet boat almost sunk it
Weird that it doesn't come with battery instructions. I am new to the better versions of the RC Boats, had cheap $100 Amazon ones that weren't too good. I can only assume that you plug in both connections to the battery charger? That's what I have done and the white light is flashing. Mine is a 1300 mah battery so I guess it won't run long. Sounds like I'll have to buy another battery.
My blackjack has terrible vibrations on high rpm , I have done a adjustment allready as it was not aligned but still vibrations. Anything else I can check here ? Shaft has been greased to. Thank you
Prop not balanced maybe, try spinning flat out without it
@@RCBoatBitzthx for the quick reply, tried and it’s same. Boat is new and hasn’t touched the water yet hahaha. Ahmm looking at it seems that the stuffing tube has a minor wrinkle in the bend and also appears to be aligned slightly side ways with the strut . Maybe the reason, seizes a bit maybe ?
Thats really going well, still would rather a nice red pursuit ha,ha, wire drive is a great idea.
The red pursuit is coming out again next week hopefully, its hard to get motivated when its so cold
@RCBoatBitz yes the weather is terrible. I done nothing but freeze in the garage. So beers and cooking. Rain hasn't stopped either.
@@petergoodwin2465 yeah as you get older you find more excuses not to go out, especially this time of year. Ive only ever used the red 'big block' pursuit once plus ive got 2 new proboats i havent even opened yet.
I’m gonna ask what might be a silly question as I’m new to rc boats, but why are you replacing the shaft to a 3/16 shaft?
Stronger
@@RCBoatBitz I read up a little more and found that out, so thank you for your help.
Plastic prop on the spartan is garbage.
You are correct
I have your twin water pickup and it works great. I put mine on a cat for racing . My spartan cuts out at full throttle and I use good batteries with a high c rating and from what I have read you cant change the LVC.I might just change the motor and speed control to something I can tweak.
Prop too large maybe?
Where did you get that? I would like to get one myself!
Ive got another one still in an unopened box you could buy if you want it
@@RCBoatBitz how much
@@SussiestRussy $100 australian
i am planning to do the same with a 64mm 3s battery and a light admiral boat
Show me the result after you get it going
whats the weight of the boat with out the edf.
No idea, i since converted to to a prop and sank it on its first run, never saw it again lol
Amazing work my friend!!
Quick question, will you still can use the self-rightening feature after you put these upgrades ? Let’s say when you upgrade the esc and the transmitter? And (receiver) ?
No, as soon as you change the motor they lose that ability
@@RCBoatBitz so what you’re saying is changing the esc and the transmitter won’t make me lose the ability but if i changed the motor i will lose the overrightening
Amazing!😮❤🎉😊
Will your wire drive work on the M41?
The bend in the stuffing tube might be too much for the wire, i dont have one of those boats to test so to play it safe ill say no
@@RCBoatBitz Thanks
That looks clean! I like it and I'm gonna do that to mine!!
Awesome, who reads instructions lol glad you got it dialed in , I like that wire drive set up👍
Haha thanks
Who needs instructions 🤣😂😅
The TSM makes the boat slower, it does on my Xmaxx
👍
I am so doing this to mine!! Very fist run it was leaking from the rubber grommet uggh!! CA to the rescue!!
Didnt see this video somehow this wil help!!😂
Could you maybe do a video on how to instal the permiun package kit for the traxxas spartan please. thanks (sick boat)
We posted a video for that late last year, have a look through our videos
@@RCBoatBitz ok thanks!!(orderd the kit abt 2 days ago thats why I wonderd👍
@@joncatojohannessen2560 that video is in the ad for the kit you bought
Thanks!👍
Very cool boat!😮❤🎉😊
Hi. Great set up. That is a really fast boat !! Are you running a 6S batery how many mah ? Where did you buy this pursuit in red color ? Its amazing !!!Also i see its a self righting boat ! Do the sell them like this ?
It was only on 4s but the motor and esc can handle 8s, we will have these in stock next month www.rcboatbitz.com
@@RCBoatBitz are you going to have them with the same electronics as the one you are showing in your video ?
@@eduardonessim4499 no mine has $800 worth of motor and esc, we will be selling them without electronics so people can fit whatever they like
Nice work, things turned into a monster.
Yeah its a quick little thing, i miss the rollover so i bought another one that ill just run on 3s so it lasts
@RCBoatBitz just have to say thanks because nearly every boat I have runs %100 perfect from your parts . Never fails , you're a genius with these. Had some very impressive results or its fixed what problems they had.
Congrats ! That is a really nice steady boat and with the 4S batt it really picks up ! Did you have any heating issues with the stock 100 amp esc ? I just bought one and some 4S 3600 mah batts and i plan to change the esc for a 120 amp spektrum esc. Do you think it will be better ? Also planning to put double intake water intakes one for the esc and one for the motor. Thanks !
@@eduardonessim4499 proboat now say its only a 3s package, i hurt my motor on 4s and it took out the esc on second run, they replaced it and that failed withing 30 seconds. i didnt realize the motor was the cause and blew up 3 more much better quality esc's after that until i started over with the TP
not for beginners
Its not as hard as it seems once youre into it
@@RCBoatBitz I've got a long way to go but thanks
Very Nice . I am finishing a f-16 recovery boat . She goes great . Recovery of my sonic wake . No issues .
Do you have any video of that beast?
@@RCBoatBitz I will get some soon if it running .
@@RCBoatBitz got two up check my page , pushing in a 24” swordfish. Does my sonic wake no issues. Tons of power to spare
Have looked in your website for the 43mm 3 blade. you have two in that size 4314 and 4317 . Which one do i need please ? How close are the upgraded drive line away as well. . cheers.
Go with the 1.7, all upgrades for these will be available in 2 weeks
Hey Joe great video, i wonder is that a 36 can size motor? Did you redrill the holes on the stock mount to fit that motor or did you instal a new motor mount. Great stuff.
36mm motor, it went straight in
@@RCBoatBitz No way?! Most appreciated by your answer. Good luck and keep the good work. Greatings from Portugal
@@JoaoPaulo-pb9zv its not an upgrade and i dont recommend you do it, i just did it to see what would happen
Great vid mate !!! And awesome soeed !! How many amp in that 6S batery ?
5200mah, not too heavy and reasonable run time
@@RCBoatBitz thaks a lot !
What prop are you using for main prop ive been wanting to buy the same one but I have no clue on what it is😅
The 44mm one is a good all round prop, the second link in the description
@@RCBoatBitz thank you very much and I wil order the premium package for my spartan and a 44mm prop
I've had the same on modified 2 blade props, but thank your for sharing.
If you take too much tongue off thats what happens
Take a couple of pounds out of and will fly. Forget power weight is the problem.
Only real weight comes from its battery and motor, cant take anything out
So i see these are for sale in the gieco 36 section on your site these work better? Do i need liners still? Thx
Ive left the liners in the boats ive run wire drives in, seems to work fine
Nice one Joe , bit of tuning and it will definitely go faster.
Had it into the 90s after work last friday, need to travel further to a bigger lake next time
Legend, can't wait to see how fast it is @RCBoatBitz
Nice up grade for sure 👍 haven’t seen you in log sleeves for awhile, I will be putting in a order soon great video 💯
Yes i hate winter, and hate having to wear shoes even more!
Where can i buy this one?
Www.rcboatbitz.com
Where did u get the exhausts
We sell them on the website www.rcboatbitz.com part # is x1101
Awesome looking boat I just got mine looking to put upgrade on it
What hull do you prefer between the Recoil 26" & the Vector 80 Pro, assuming they both have upgaded inrunner motors/esc's. I believe the Vector 80 still has its self righting capability with an inrunner motor fitted.
I love them both, the sr80 is plastic though
@@RCBoatBitz They are both listed as ABS plastic.
@@gillian9178 i havent looked at my recoil in a while, thought those were glass sorry. Go with the cheaper one then
Love the video I just bought one of these as my first boat. Really love it but hard to find 5mm prop. So thanks for this What size 3 blade prop did you use ? Did not hear it in video. Keep up the good work👍
Oh have found your website to awesome . So hopefully you have the 3 blade there so I can buy it from you.
Will have kits in stock shortly with 3/16 wire drive and that prop (43mm)
@@RCBoatBitz Fantastic . Will be buying one then. Thanks
Very impressive results. You'd probably be close to 96km/h with some fine tuning. Watching that rooster and hearing the water splash a good 2-3 seconds after is awesome! 🚤💨BG4L
100 would be even better!
@@RCBoatBitz Indeed!
Y u skipped the trim tabs installation? Did u had to do any mods for that to be installed?
No, they bolt straight on using original bolts and holes
The non Pro version SR80 dosn't come with a wire drive shaft, it comes with a smaller diameter 3mm flex cable. It also comes with a smaller less powerfull motor as well, even though it has a smaller motor the stock 3mm flex cable breaks to easy. Most then upgrade to a 4mm flex conversion on the non Pro boat.
Seems theres been more than 1 version
Hi thanks for the video . My PB River jet make a continuous beep beep beep beep beep beep .... and green led flash.
Sounds like a receiver issue to me
You did mention bluing stainless . It can be done with Brownells oxynate 84 bluing salt. EPI also has salt that will blue stainless. It will look great, it's just a little more labor intensive than regular hot salt bluing, and the fumes are a little more nasty. If you decide to do it I would use an electric deep fryer depending on size of item , these tips are small . I'm not sure if Brownells sells anything less than a 40lb pail of the salt but I'm pretty sure epi sells smaller quantities .Probably more work then needed and a bit toxic like mentioned but you asked . and do more research but this is where you start .
I will be following that up, thanks a lot
4:50 I winter is thats why I'm breaking flex shafts in my Spartan. I'm not leaving a gap.
For sure, 3mm gap minimum
I have a Enforcer Super Gator boat for 15 years. It is not a toy. I just bought a Spartan SR. Trailer too. Will see. The Super Gator is made out of fiberglass and have driven it in Lake Huron in 2 foot waves..

Can't wait for my parts ABSOLUTELY STOKED
Super Cool , Looking forward to the results 👍
Do you like the Spartan hull shape better than the Sonicwake? I remember in an old video, you mentioned how the Sonicwake was not deep at all (barely 22 or so degrees of deadrise). Where the Spartan looks like it was partly modeled after a Fountain style true Deep-V that more easily slices through, vs deflecting off of waves. The reason I ask you, is because you're one of the few RUclipsr channels who regularly run your boats through rough water(which is totally kick ass), taking flight, instead of only hitting glass-surfaced ponds/lake.
I like both boats but i did sell my sw and still own a spartan so maybe that tells you something?
