The long-running line of Pro Boat Blackjack ready-to-run catamarans experienced a significant enhancement in performance and aesthetics when the large-scale Blackjack 42" was launched in 2021. This larger model introduced multiple upgrades, including the implementation of Spektrum Smart technology within the Blackjack design.
Pro Boat has now revisited its origins by incorporating the same enhancements from the "big brother" model into the more compact and affordable Blackjack 24". This new version not only boasts improved aesthetics but also enhanced performance compared to the original.
The Blackjack 24" features an updated brushless power system complemented by high-quality Spektrum electronics, which includes a Spektrum Firma 2200Kv brushless motor as well as a Spektrum Firma 90A Smart ESC. The ESC is compatible with Smart technology, providing access to essential telemetry data through an optional Spektrum Smart receiver and transmitter. The Blackjack 24" is ready to run on 4S configuration right out of the box, just requiring the installation of recommended batteries to unleash its full speed and acceleration potential!
Other notable additions include the innovative Pro Boat SSL (Strap, Slide, Lock) battery tray, making battery changes quick and straightforward by eliminating the hassle of securing batteries in tight spaces. Maintenance is made simpler with a "œgrease and go" bushing lubrication system that streamlines the greasing process to just three easy steps: remove the prop strut plug screw, pump in some grease, and seal it back up, allowing the grease to flow directly into the bushing.
Pro Boat offers two striking livery options for the Blackjack 24" catamaran. The vibrant Heat Wave design is sure to catch the eye at full speed, while the Blackjack offshore racing option gives an exhilarating feel reminiscent of a power boat Poker Run.
With its brushless power, state-of-the-art Spektrum electronics, and a forgiving catamaran hull design, the Blackjack 24" is an excellent choice for everyone, ranging from novice hobbyists to seasoned modelers. For fans of the Blackjack 42", this model makes a fantastic addition to any collection, delivering similar performance in lakes and ponds of varying sizes.
The redesigned Pro Boat Blackjack 24" comes equipped with a Spektrum SLT2 2-channel 2.4GHz transmitter and an included boat stand for maintenance or display. Users simply need to add a compatible 4S battery setup (2x 2S 5000mAh) along with a charger to enjoy exhilarating races on the water with the stability and speed offered by this brushless-powered catamaran.
