ProBoat PRB08049T1 Blackjack 24" V2 Catamaran Brushless: RTR, Heat Wave Visual
Pro Boat Blackjack 24" V2 Overview
The long-running line of Pro Boat Blackjack ready-to-run catamarans experienced a major boost in performance and style when the large-scale Blackjack 42” was introduced in 2021. Among other upgrades, this big cat added Spektrum Smart technology to the highlights of the Blackjack design.
Now Pro Boat returns to where it all began, bringing the same improvements found in its “big brother” to the smaller, more affordable Blackjack 24”. This redesigned Blackjack 24” not only looks better than the original, but performs better as well.
Its brushless power system has been updated with top-of-the-line Spektrum electronics, including a Spektrum Firma 2200Kv brushless motor and Spektrum Firma 90A Smart ESC. The ESC is Smart ready, allowing you to receive vital telemetry data at your fingertips when using an optional Spektrum Smart receiver and transmitter. Straight out of the box, the Blackjack 24” is 4S capable. Just install the recommended batteries and you’ll have all the speed and acceleration you can handle!
Other additions include the innovative Pro Boat SSL (Strap, Slide, Lock) battery tray that eliminates the hassle from locking down batteries in confined spaces. You can swap out packs in a snap — it takes only a matter of seconds. Bushing lubrication is simplified with a “grease and go” system that reduces this task to just three easy steps: remove the prop strut plug screw, pump in some grease, and seal it back up. The grease passes through the prop strut and stuffing tube into the bushing, right where it’s needed.
Pro Boat gives you a choice of two iconic liveries for your Blackjack 24” catamaran. At top speed, the Heat Wave race livery is a blaze of wild color burning through the water. With the Blackjack offshore racing livery option, you’ll feel like you’re winning all of the aces in a power boat Poker Run.
With its brushless power, Spektrum electronics, and forgiving catamaran hull, the Blackjack 24” makes a great boat for everyone from first-timers to experienced modelers. If you’re already a fan of the Blackjack 42”, add this one to your collection and enjoy the same performance on lakes and ponds of almost any size, large or small.
The redesigned, ready-to-run Pro Boat Blackjack 24” comes with a Spektrum SLT2 2-channel 2.4GHz transmitter and boat stand for maintenance or display. Just add your own 4S battery setup (2x 2S 5000mAh) and compatible charger to race through the water with brushless-powered catamaran stability and speed.
