The NEW Proboat Sonicwake V2 Owners Review

[davidsapir]

Mine arrived last week, and WOW is all I can say. The unboxing alone was such a treat. The boat looks incredible in person, .Sent her out for the first time with some friends and it was the best out of the box r/c experience I've ever had. Man is this thing a legit thrill to run, it's so damn fast and handles great. Awesome review of an awesome boat, and your maintenance and upgrade videos for the SonicWake V2 have been invaluable help, thank you!

[robbomber]

Flipped mine once way out it the bay out in lake erie so glad it self righted and I was good, if your gonna buy a first boat this would be my first choice.

[giovanniguarino]

I like to go pick one up tomorrow. I already have the blackjack 42 and an M 41 I just love votes. I also have a blaster so I think it’s a good boat but I think I’m gonna give it a go. Thank you Giovanni.

[petergoodwin]

We should have waited for the V2 but at least we got it cheap and rc boat bitz makes an upgrade kit. That boat is running perfect. Great video again.

[stevepellissier]

very, very nice, i like the way you went over the boat

I was riding my waverunner on an early ride one morning befor anyone was on the water. Was going like 45/50 on glass water. Looked to my left and a boat just like this was cruising next to me and then took off and left me in the dust. So funny, def need to get an r/c boat like this. Just wish battery life was longer

[Bteuton]

It ran fine the first two times although the electrics seemed very warm. Third run, I drove a little faster after lubing the shaft. Electrical system and batteries were really HOT. More importantly the rubber grommet that hold the brass driveshaft tube into the stringer completely melted and disintegrated. The shaft is not aligned to the motor. The boat is now inoperable after just three runs.

B, what's the fix if the inside skeleton cage is loose in this boat. It's maming the self right take over a minute at times. Ita loose and lifts off the boats where the batters go.

[mason.chasin]

I just ran mine for the first time and all of the sudden it stopped, so I went and retrieved it, opened the canopy and it was smoking, and one of the ic5 connectors had popped out and the battery connector melted into it, don’t know why this happened, I was running full throttle a bit but not for long, may have to return it

[stevenbarnes]

Set button function? What are the parameters and function of pressing it multiple times?

[TRKISH]

So, I was looking at this for a buddy who wants a fassst boat. Some drag racing. Some course racing. Would love some input, since my RC knowledge is in land based rigs.

I just got an used SonicWakeV2 and was running with an Impulse 32 before. The Impulse seems to be wayy faster, yes the ESC is 160A instead of 120A but weird thing everything's getting alot hotter on the Sonic Wake. The motor, ESC and battery cables are much hotter. Moreover, on the Impulse I am unable to get to full speed yet, still too much waves on the lake I've ride. The Sonic rides alot smoother and takes waves way more easier than the Impulse.

I am thinking about putting the 160A and motor (2000kV instead of 1900 if I remember correctly). I would see how it goes.

BTW i am riding both boats with newer 2x 3S 100C 5000mAh spektrum packs.

Hello. Thank you for your videos on this beautiful boat. did you get the sonicwake V1? If so, do you have any tips for upgrading? Maybe the propeller? Thanks in advance.

[jaysonsingleton]

Big B. I just brought this boat and I have a arrow 5 as my first boat. I've noticed the prop and rudders are lined up different. Would this be y the sonic doesn't turn left very well. What do u think.

[dennisharte]

Got the last of the V1s thanks to Big Bs heads up on the sale. Must be a distributer near by as I got it in two days. 52 mph first day out of the box. Third time in water got 55 mph. Love the boat. Can you tell me the specs on the stock prop? I know its 42mm.
Thanks Keep the great vids coming

[riverpirate]

So the boat is 45ish out of the box, doesn't need a stinger, kinda needs a prop.
Then upgrade is 160amp esc and 4s on another prop.

[Roodah]

Hey man - I'm new to the boat game and have a question. I have some 6s 100c packs I use in my land bashers. Do we really need to run two packs in these? I would like to test single 100c single packs but don't want to burn up any connectors. Thanks man.

[rcsky]

After seeing this video, I also bought Sonicwake V2.👍🤩
Is the Octura x642 prop the same size as the original prop on the Sonicwake V2? Better performance? And don't Turn Fins need to be upgraded? I would appreciate it if you could recommend Turn Fins.

[Oneoniner-]

Hey big b, can you recall if the included marine grease is the same as the one proboat sells? Dude I LOVE that grease man. It's super tacky thick and gooey and after using it my stuffing tubes do t even get warm like they used to with the auto parts marine grease (quick silver).

[jamesbedell]

Love the videos! I replaced my Sonicwake V1 120a esc with a Seaking 180a and am not sure what to set the timing at. All the other electronics and motor are stock. The original esc called for 7.5 and the new esc called for 15, what do you think?
