Wonderful video. Wish there had been one like this 45 years ago when I first got into the hobby. Great job sir.
Thank you, hopefully the video helps new boaters get into the hobby there so many different boat hulls out there it's hard to make a choice. THANKS FOR WATCHING IRONCLAD RC 👊
Charlo south Africa, really appreciate this video/ i am completely new,must stil order my boat /very expensive in south Africa
New subscriber and skipper! Always been a fly guy but decided to give boats a try. Bought a $40 12" Ranfly on Amazon a couple weeks ago to get a taste for it cheap, figured if I wasn't feeling it I'd just give it to a friend who has a 9 year old son. Couldn't believe how much fun I had and how much I instantly enjoyed it! Been researching boats ever since and found your channel. Pulling the trigger next week on the Shreddy variant of the Recoil 2. That's the boat that called to me most within my budget, it's RTR, a good size, good speed, good components, looks shweet as all getout and it's self righting so it ticked all the boxes for a greenhorn like me. Plus I already have the 3S Spektrum Smart batteries it takes as well as the Spektrum S155 Smart Charger, picked both up when I scored an Arrma Vorteks. Absolutely cannot wait to get this ProBoat. Your channel is awesome and a wealth of great info and good times, thank you! You bring the suds and I'll bring the buds brother, cyumon!
Fantastic video. I'll recommend it to anyone whose thinking about RC boating. Cheers
Thanks brother 👊
You have sold me on building my first rc boat . I’ve been flying fixed wings , helicopters , and drones for roughly $5,000 and love flying , it’s that landing part that continues to cost more and more as time goes bye . I’m now get much more flying time for my money spent by landing successfully. Boats have a special place in my life considering I live right next to Buckeye lake. I will follow you and do more research and will keep you posted on my progress. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge
Your gonna love rc boats, there fun to run cheap to maintain and maintenance is a peace of cake. Usually you don't crash them quite as much as an airplane, unless your BIG B. LOL.
Wow! One hell of a challenge to overview our hobby in less than 20 minutes, but you nailed it Big B 👌 👍 👏
Thanks Steve. I appreciate it.
Very nice vid I'm actually going to be building the zelos 48 gas version just waiting for the hull from horizon hobby this vid is really helpful I really like the look of your out rigger
I painted the out rigger to look like an ironclad ship. Kinda like a flag ship for the channel. Good lilacs with your build brother
What a great video! I am thinking about making a boat from scratch for fun, and I want to carry it on my back on a bike ride to the sea near where I live (the sea area is relatively calm behind tetrapods). It looks like a mono-hull would be best to cope with waves. Also, I want to have a boat that gives me the most fun to operate. Before I constructed a trimaran sail boat but it was a bit of a disappointment.
Your videos are so good!!!!!
Glad you like them! BG4L
Wow... Im super amized for your different kind of rc boats.... For me the best is catamaran hull design... I have build that boat. But for now.. i have esc and motor for it .. i have no money yet to buy it... Im hoping one of this day i have it all....
*Wow! That's a really cool video! Cool! You're a boat video expert! Thumb! 😃🔥🔥🔥👍*
GG bother appreciate all the simple information definitely help
Glad to help
Thanks!
Very educational thank you
Thanks for the video Big B. Convince Pro Boat to bring back the UL-19. Thanks.
Still a car guy, but this video is helping me find the boat I want. ❤
Just getting back into the rc boats my first was the miss Geico wish I never got rid of it I 3d printed a cat haul currently waiting on electronics great video with alot of useful information
Glad I can help
I'm a product developer for Horizon Hobby but in the Air category. I really enjoy your content and have been playing with boats for a few weeks now.
Thanks brother i appreciate it, Oh boy your hooked now there's no going back. 😆 BUILD IT IRONCLAD
@@IRONCLADRC yeah buddy! I'm loving it! lol You're welcome. Keep that content coming!
Thanks for the info Big B. I just used windex to clean boat I was wondering if that was safe for the finish
Last hull I built was an ml boat works. I got out of boats a few years back, but I always prefer deep v hulls because it’s usually choppy here in New England
Personally I like a mono or low vee hull. That's just me, I don't run in big bodies of water plus I like the way they handle
its a fascinating Hobby
Good informative video!!!
I am running the Stealth wake and have turned it into a Brushless power house
Need to work on adding weight to keep it in the water
Don't add weight use battery distribution to change cg. Boats don't like to be heavy. Just a tip! Build it ironclad
Thank you I really appreciate it
hi big b love your vids i got my first boat last year a toy grade nqd tear into jet boat needless to say after watching a few UA-cam vids I tore into it fitted a brushless motor and 50amp esc and pared it up to flysky gt3c radio good fun in a pond but it really comes into its own going up small shallow streams no prop to damage on rocks jet boats are real bashers I'd love a thrasher like Dr jet mentioned but just can't afford one. so go on give a jet boat a try
Your right about a jet boat being a basher there fun to run. I've been meaning to get a jet boat I've had alot of request to get one on the channel.
I got the UL-19 as my first boat I hope this was a good choice. I have built and had many airplanes and helicopters however this will be completely new to me. Thanks for the videos and helping out us newbies!
Yea I know a couple guys that bought the ul 19 as a first boat. Your gonna love it. Run it on 4s until you get the 2nd cooling run. It's an awesome boat, watch Temps with stock esc. You've been in the hobby so you know the deal flying basically carrys over to boating
@@IRONCLADRC Yes sir I got 2 new packs for it both 2s 9000mAh 120c. Those should get it on a plane. I have a Mojo blade and dual pickup rudder actually coming in the mail today. It is highly rated with 4 drilled pickups in the rudder and a slightly larger rudder. The most power I will ever put through this boat is 5s.
Peace Big B "Boat Crew"
Oh yea that's perfect. Long run time and plenty of power
Wish they would bring the UL-19 back as standard 8s with optional 12s build by castle.
I feel the golden time has passed for fast electric rtr boats I remember 7/8 years ago you had the likes of the genesis/pursuit/ joysway super surge crusher..all discontinued never replaced proboat aside the rtr nowadays are rubbish,better off learning to build your own because even the proboat rtr have issues out the box usually poor cooling
Your probably right but whats the fun I'm having a rtr boat that is ready to roll 100% and there's nothing you can do to it at all. Like the v2 sonicwake that boat comes ready to go literally..... I looked at it on the shelf for weeks trying to figure out a modification I could do to it. Lol. Shoot I like a boat that needs se tlc gives us something to do
Yeah bro been in the hobby since 2017 on land so I'm going with that Sonic wake V2 for my first boat
can't go wrong there.
That's a great boat brother your gonna love it. Build it IRONCLAD
Just got a pro boat Veles 29 and this is my first real boat put a water pump in it to keep the motor cool because I’m running it on 6s. Wanted to ask about strut adjustment and props sizes. Thanks so much love you videos.
Oxidean 42 high rake with the strut set about 2-3mm higher than the ride surface
@@IRONCLADRC thanks so much
can you make a video on how to make the micro outriger
Great informative video Big B. But I have to warn everyone thinking about getting into the hobby. Its VERY addictive and fun. Have your wallet prepared. You'll quickly grow your boat collection and aftermarket parts.
Yes it is, eat, sleep, & run rc boats
@@IRONCLADRC Not a bad way to live 👍That would make a nice bumper sticker
Hey big b any suggestions on revolt 30 chine walking at 3/4 power around 40 , 45 mph bad chine walk !!!?????
Is there a radiator style water block for outrunner motors? Be a nice cooling system for inside the hotbox
Yes the sell a motor mount with a cooled motor mounting plate.
Darn wished I had ne a recovery boat this weekend twice I had to wade in to recover on time had to strip to my scivies and went in chest high to recover it in the cat tails.
Been there done that 😆 fishing pole will help with recovering flipped boats as well
like your show . where is a good place to get trim tabs for the 42 in black jack ?
Rc boat bitz I have a set on my 42 and I love them solid trim tab choice
I’m wanting to build my first boat, and I’m definitely the overachiever, like to experiment and usually get in over my head type of guy…my question is, is it possible to build a Hydro scale boat using an EDF or two for thrust? I’m pretty experienced with planes and trucks/cars, but never had a boat before. Advice is welcome
Yea I've seen EDF powered custom hydros,, one problem you'll run into is cg, keep the center of Gravity as low as possible so she corners well. You'll also want to keep the weight forward 2/3 the hull length.
Another good video . ? Blackjack 24 or veles 29 for a second long term fun boat . I value Your opinion . thanks big B
Out the box I'd go with the veles 29 she's basically ready to go i'v literally only upgraded the rudder & prop. Stock 67mph upgraded prop 81mph
If your looking for a cheap fun and upgradable boat the that won't break the bank the bj24 is perfect, out the box she's a 35-40mph boat upgrade the power system and you'll have a fast boat 66mph upgraded
Still totally torn between a Blackjack 24 and the new Recoil V2 as a first boat... due to it being a V hull and having self righting I'm thinking the Recoil V2 may be better in some ways.... but the Blackjack would likely use batteries I already have... and is a chunk cheaper...
Also briefly looked into the Arrow...
So hard to make a choice...choice paralysis is why I didn't get a boat last summer...
I don't think you can go wrong with either boat.
Sendt you an email the other day ;)
But where do you find drawings for building a boat hull from scratch ? Might want something to build during next winter (ohhh i got many months of building then) ;)
I found alot of plans online searching the boat type your interested in. Ml boat works has plans available
Hey mister Ironclad, if it all possible, can you please put a retail purchase price on each of your boats as you speak about them. Thank you so much.
I'll definitely try
@@IRONCLADRC Thank you 🙏
What do ya think a spartan maybe idk man i want something im also going to the beach i a week or so i need to build a bait hauler boat to carry my fishing bait out from the beach with cheap supples seems like a fun project going to need some power they make rc boat for this they have a huge prop under them probably for ocean check them out. Big money not many option could make some money there maybe idk
The Sonicwake is water tight I run mine in salt water all the time I don't know about traxxas?
I just got a ul 19. What brand and how big of battery would you recommend? And what charger would you recommend?
This 4s spektrum bundle should treat you right.www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=953aec29-878e-4306-b620-2df85883455e&website_id=70256520-69d3-496b-a06d-cfbf9af7a81d&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fproduct%2Fsmart-powerstage-bundle-4s%2FSPMXPS4.html
i love your channel., i imitated you tiny titan,. he sails great. 55 on the gps, 38mm prop, 2300kv motor,. can i send you a picture!

what did you use on the deep V hull boat to protect it from hitting stuff
I don't use anything on the outside of my hulls, I do carbonfiber inlays on the inside of the boat before I install electronics
Looking for a bad ass motor for a catamaran
Idk if you see this. I have 5th scale cars. Raced 10th scale. Was looking at the Sr 80 pro and the Sr 85 vectors. Any tips? I fly planes. But no water experience.
Sr 80 &85 are great starter boats. Plenty fast out the box and easy enough to upgrade
Hey Big B, just bought myself a Spartan, super keen for it to arrive. Where would you rank it in terms of skill level?
That’s a entry level boat so you’ll be good.
I agree that boat is good for any skill level
Your going to need a bigger shop soon BIG B
Yea your probably right about that. Thanks for watching
Everyday Big B, the relaxation after work videos, and gettin me some edumacation in the process. Is horizon going to expand on your knowledge of RC’s to give you trucks and cars to, just wondering, like them vids too
What's a good competitive fast begins boat
Really depends on what size boat your looking for and your definition of competitive. Small race boat: The mini dom from oxidean marine is a great starter boat it's race-ready & easy to setup..
I'd stick with a mono hull as a starter boat. The proboat sonicwake is a great larger scale boat for all-around fun running, not really a race ready boat but it does self right
Hydroplanes are so badass
I agree
would the recoil handle a 540 size motor?im old school so brushless motor size is confusing
I think a 3660 2300kvish motor would be better than a 540 size motor.. the stock motor would be a better choice ove a 540 size
I ask something sir.,,, Which motor kv for catamaran 45"??
Depends on esc WHat voltage your planning on running Weight etc
@@IRONCLADRC ah ok sir .. my esc planning is 120A flycolor and the motor is rocket 3670 5070kv 36S, its that mach?
Hello broo..how to fix esc so hot ..can you tell me bro?
Depends really. More water flow will help, what's ur set up
Hey say if I wanted to is it okay to run in saltwater if you flush it out soon as you get done and grease it up and shit
To be honest, I wouldn't..
@@IRONCLADRC There's a great salt water pond nearby that is specifically made for model boats. I once ran a boat there many years ago, and even though I completely disassembled, cleaned, re-lubricated, and re-assembled everything, I still saw corrosion. I can walk to the Pacific Ocean from my house, and that's the closest MY boats will ever get to salt water.
I run in saltwater all the time, when I get home I spray the hull with cheap household cleaner wipe down, and rinse with fresh water. then use a 100ml syringe to flush the cooling system with fresh water three times. use a paper towel to remove any water in the hull and spray all electrics with wd40, finally, I remove and re-grease the flex shafts. don't take long when you get used to doing it
Lego driver is a wind drag
Probably right
Why only 1 turn fin? Is it for turning only 1 direction
Yes basically, the fin holds the boat down so you can turn the boat at full speed with out flipping it basically hold the boat to the water
Hey my revolt setup is 2250kv , 4-6slipo , m645 prop slight down on strut angle 1-2degree balance at 8 inches from transom on flat water , 10 on ruff water ????? Violet chine walk around 40 , 45 mph ???? Any thoughts 💭
I agree moving the strut up will plant the stern into the water more, try a little down trim on the right trim tab, Or prop down.
@@IRONCLADRC thanks man will try it , instead of strut moved up what about more weight in the hull down low, no good huh , trying to advoid moving the strut , if possible, ? probably gonna have to I bet !
@@IRONCLADRC hey strut angle or move it up on transom , just replaced stuffing tube in factory location
@@Sixbillion1 trying to hit 70 ! Got 64 with a single 6s5000mah 60c lipo on left side and 645 prop no chine walk that was bad ! Two single 3s to make 6s violent chine walk at around 45 or so pulling my hair out , really don’t want to lift up strut , but if I have to I will , any
@@Sixbillion1 one last bit of info my motor is a 2250 kv 4072 size 6s limit think it’s to heavy swinging side to side , 3670 size any better??
Looking for something I can buy , little detailing to get a 100mph oval driver
Oxidean Marine animal twin cat will get you to 100mph
proboat veles 29 will get you close to 100 mph so will the sonicwake 36 with 8s esc upgrade and proper prop
@@IRONCLADRC i plan on buying 2 and racing with my boy, i prefer as ARTR/RTR as possbile
@@IRONCLADRC thank you!
@@IRONCLADRC that boat is well over my budget :(
What about ocean people? Do they have boats?
Yea, but saltwater isn't good for the electronics, a boat that gets run in salt water must be 100% water tight.
@@IRONCLADRC I will remember that because somewhere down the road I'm sure I will use one of my boats in the ocean. Probably loose it before I could ever wash it off tho🤷
@@IRONCLADRC Also I just wanted to say thanks for all your tips and knowledge. I started with a Miss Geico and a little pro boat jet boat. I watched your videos and did motor/esc transplants that got them to be in the air as much as water and got addicted to RC everything. I'm not going to even attempt to tell you the amount of money I have poured into my RC habit but it really drives my wife nuts and it's all your fault. 🤙
Hi thanks for the vid. I am just getting into rc boats and spent all weekend building a air boat-hovercraft with no experence. For some reason its not great. If you have a spare min would you check out my vid and tell me where i gone wrong. Many thanks
Sure what's the link?
@@IRONCLADRC ua-cam.com/users/shorts38jD6szCHxQ?feature=share
I think that boats are to expencive ...
hey ironclad im looking for a boat for $1,000.00 can offer
i am intermediate rc hobby players
What boat type do you like best? Mono hydro, cat? mono hulls are great all around boats & great for beginners. Catamarans are my go to for speed runs, hydroplanes are a little more complicated but amazing when tuned right
Bashing, speed runs, or turning ovals? Or all of the above. Lol.
I've got a couple boats in mind what's your flavor
Rc boats for Dummies - like me.
Love the vid!! And I sent you a email and I think you'll like it!
Thanks, l look forward to it..
Just checked email
I haven't seen email from (Wheeliesgriff)
👊 build it ironclad
That's weird it says it sent to Ironclad, idk
Wow... Im super amized for your different kind of rc boats.... For me the best is catamaran hull design... I have build that boat. But for now.. i have no esc and motor for it .. i have no money yet to buy it... Im hoping one of this day i have it all....
Anyway my catamaran baot is 45"
Yes sir I agree catamarans are the way to go if you want all Out speed. Thanks for watching
