Damn i love Your sonic wake Videos! My ran only 45mph yesterday. I will Give it one more try today After seeing Your tips Here 😊
Good luck, get it up out the water, ride the ragged edge of stable and not stable.. BG4L
Great video - Thank you. Just purchased my first boat and getting ready for my maiden run.
Great video. I been waiting for a update video on this boat. Thanks
Hey Big B, great vid on the s wake, and glad your happy to have it back. I have the Firma 160a in my V2, 6.5 castles on the motor leads, 7mm cooling lines and temps have all been really good, even with the dasboata prop. The CNC1716, and CNC4519 run really well, however noticed the 1716 was faster. Look forward to seeing more and thanks for the tips on the V2.
I finally picked up my sonic wave to what I had in Vancouver Nevada. I’m hoping to get in the water this weekend for the first time. I will post comments on my FaceTime. I love this channel that’s a lot of their help. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support BG4L
The deep vee hull is most definitely meant to be ran on the rugged edge. And with the self righting it allows you to do just that. I love my SonicWake and really appreciate alo the tips you have provided for getting the most out of this rc. Thx big B
Great to see one back in your fleet. One of my favorite boats
SWV2 one of my top five favorites
This boat is amazing!!! I have one and I love it. Rc boat bitz makes some sweet trim tabs and turn fins Plus his rudder Is a half inch longer then factory and that makes a Huge difference with steering. Me and 3 of my friends with the same boat stock seemed to only turn at high speeds and not low/medium well until we got the upgraded rudder.
Good to know thank you for the rudder recommendation
I like the white version better than the black.
Me too, I can see it much better especially when we go to the speed run spot. Wish I could find the green v1 graphics for it.
I was torn between both colors too and I went white as well. Tough choice but I like the white
Nice! Still one of my favorite boats.
Top 5 on my list. Thanks for Watching
For anyone new heres a good tip for drilling plastic. Get a step drill bit and handle for it to drill holes by hand. A power drill is not needed for boat hole drilling!
Says he’s keeping it stock, then immediately proceeds to tell us all the upgrades. 😂
I just blacked out mine It looks real stealth 👍
My version 1 has been so much fun to run. Like I have told you in the past that I have upgraded mine just by watching your videos. The prior owner sold me the boat for $100 after he sunk the boat. I installed a Flycolor 150amp esc along with a 4074 motor. This boat was smashed at the nose and the side split. I don’t have a gps (yet) so not sure the speeds I’m hitting but it sure is pretty flying across the water. My temps are right around 100 but my water temp are colder in Wisconsin. New coolant lines coming and I’m using spring clamps for a more secure connection. Great video!
FOR EVERY COOLANT LINE CONNECTION CUT A 1/4 INCH PICE OF LINE AND PUT IT OVER THE END OF THE COOLING LINE. IT HOLDS TIGHT AND LOOKS REAL CLEEN.
Sounds like it's IRONCLADED OUT. BG4L
@@IRONCLADRC With your help it is for sure. It is such a great experience to open the lid and not see a drop of water inside! Not so with my Recoil, the waterline came off again. Can’t wait for the postoffice for the new lines and Y connections.
One last thing. I may be wrong but since I installed the adjusters on my stabilizers my boat handles better. What if water pressure is affecting the ones without the adjusters? The faster you go bends the metal just so slightly, then you go slower and you get a different result.
Nice and clean. She needs the iron clad treatment
With the smart esc and the Bluetooth module on the dx3 and the dashbord app you don't need the spektrum battery to recived the telemetry on your app
New to subscribe to your videos, and have gotten a lot of helpful info on the Sonic Wake V2, which I’m planning on purchasing soon. You mentioned the cooling upgrade in numerous videos. What size drill bit are you using on the ESC water barbs. Thanks
B. ALL STOCK, YOU, I DONT THINK SO!!😮
Love my swv2 also.
Turn fin set from pro boat is what I did because I've broke the bracket and lost the fin,not once but twice so I'll order another set to have some spares on hand.
I broke the stock turn fin bracket on my original V2
i wonder how the 2050kv 4074 spektrum motor out of the 6s arrmas would run in this boat?
Hey Big B glad you have another v2,i had some problems with mine and i had to send it back for inspection and to the contrary the first time they told the culprit were the batteries but after new inspection they told me they had to make a calibration of the throtle trigguer in the transmiter i did not knew that was necessary or even possible because in the manyal i fid not find any information about it. Can you confirm this information. Always good to see your videos with good tips. Thanks man.
Sounds about right, I do throttle calibrations all the time with my dx5 rugged especially before a serious speed pass. Glad they found the culprit
Hey man love the channel. I’m really into RC only have one boat though, the recoil 2. If you had only 2 upgrades you could do to shreddy which 2 would it be ($ doesn’t matter). Thanks man I know that you’d be the one to ask!
I would install upgraded turn fins and trim tabs.
if your running the stock motor I found the flycolor/ose 90a esc is a good pair, actually the only esc I've found that works with the stock motor...
It’s funny you mentioned you got a white one because I just sold my black one I had modified and got a new stock white one a few months back.
All great minds think alike! I like the white because it doesn't show scratches quite as bad as the black version
@@IRONCLADRC out of all my fast boats it’s still my favorite boat for some reason. I guess it’s just the fact I guess that it’s still kinda fast but if it don’t flip I don’t have to panic to hurry up and get it or worry about it sinking if the hatch tape don’t hold.
Big B
I ordered the SMC 150c batteries for my V2 and it cut off on my high speed runs with the stock prop. Put my Spektrum 5000mah 100c in it and it runs fine 54 mph.
Any suggestions?
Im planning on going to the 200amp esc but would like to figure out how you got this to work before stepping up?
Big B! What longer rudder do you suggest that goes on without modification? Maybe my next mod on my sonic wake. It was my first boat last year, then i started watching your videos now I have a pile of OG proboat 29 glass boats. However I take the SW boat out and bash it and its always fun
I wanna say this ose rudder blade will work, but the holes on the rudder bracket and rudder hinge don't exactly line up there about 5-7mm difference. I don't really recommend this rudder but it's a possibility. IDK

Sa donne envie.
Love the video, planning on getting one as my first boat been doing a lot of research and this seems like the one. Been big into the cars but never a boat. One question about it. I see it says reccomemend is 2x 3s 100C+ packs could i run 2x 3s 80c packs? What would be the downside of running 80c compard to 100 in a boat, would it damage the boat/batteries?. 80c is the highest I got and as you know batteriees are expensive so if I have to buy more for this that would just mean longer until i can use it :( Thanks in advance!
80c will be good, only down fall is discharge/top speed shouldn't mess up your batteries. You'll enjoy boats its a whole new world. BG
Hey big B what battery set up you recommend with this boat for a beginner. I overthink stuff but I want a bad ass ride thanks for your help and I’ll purchase everything with your links
Some where in the 5000-6000mah 100c 11.1v x2
Hey B! Nice video…good info.
I sent my new V2 back to horizon so they could check the reception range. According to google maps my boat was barely going 300’ before losing reception. They emailed me back yesterday and said after inspection everything is normal…if I wanted better reception I’d need to purchase an upgraded transmitter. I did not think 300’ is normal. How long is that to the other side of your pond?
My pond is at least 300 foot long give or take
How hot is too hot on this stock esc? I upgraded the cooling lines like you did in your other video, but my temps are still 140-155 degrees F on the the esc with stock prop. I’m getting flow thru tubes. It doesn’t have much flow out of side tubes at slower cruise/bashing speeds. I checked rudder inlet holes…doesn’t seem to be blocked. I tuned like you showed with the water bottle…idk.
It's the prop that causes the hotter temps, especially bashing, try a 4519 size prop
Im a little bummed they qent to red and yellow on the black boat. Its hard to see.
That neon green looked great and was extremely visible!
I cant bring myself to buy a MacDonald's boat and I'm not a super huge fan of the white.
I just bought the same boat. Dumb question, when clicking on the link for the 3S battery, what connector type do i need to select? Appreciate the vids!
Ec5 or ic5
@@IRONCLADRC awesome, thanks men. 🙏
Sick boat! Where did you get the GPS?

I notice when I ran my boat for the first time this past Sunday when I took it out the water and opened the top it was a little smoke but everything still works and it was stopping in the water on its own any idea I'm new to the boat side of the rc world
Motor wires more than likely got hot, the smoke could be the wire or the heat shrink from the hot wire, stop and go was probably temp (thermal) cut out on the esc letting you know things were getting hot.
Something strange happend today. The boat flipped over but did not self correct. Have you experienced this. It was just floating around. And did not fill up. Is this due to wrong placing of the battery???
Did you upgrade the speed control or add weight to the tight side of the boat if so that will cause the boat to not self right
@@IRONCLADRC Nahh. I did use a 6cell 5500mah instead of my 3 cells. Put i in center of the boat. Perhaps i should move it more to the side. The boat is stock. Nothing added.
Yeah the battery is to light
@@IRONCLADRC i found the issue by testing. I placed the single cell as close to the middle in the battery space. It should be against the wall. Have you tride 2x4cell. Will the esc and motor handle it?? I have some 4 cell hard case from my Arrma kraton.
@@IRONCLADRC Did you test out 8cell on stock esc??
Hey brother hope all is well! Question for you sir,what kind of gps are you using ?where did you pick it up, from and what did it cost you?

Been running the white V2 once a week since April using 3 pairs of Overlander 5300 65c 11.1v packs and it's all stock and been a great first boat, upgrading the water lines this weekend.
Gensace have some 6500 3s 11.4v packs,I was wondering if the stock esc would be able to take these packs?
I would like to ask you if you noticed any hesitation problem at low throtle with that 65c battery packs. Great boat... but somehow i have not so lucky with mine.
Not had any issues, I did also buy some 100c Spektrum 5000mah G2 packs and found the 65c Overlander packs to give just as much punch for almost half the price of the Spektrum packs.@@JoaoPaulo-pb9zv
I'm sure the stock esc will handle the gems ace packs.....
Thanks Big B.👍@@IRONCLADRC
I like the white version too but I wound up getting a black one they say black don’t crack
I've had both options, both break/crack
@@IRONCLADRC lol I know i’m probably definitely gonna crack it. does seem to be different material than the recoil. It’s not as rigid the recoil cracked too easy does the sonic have any weak spots? I could reinforce now ?
Yea the recoil is an abs material where as the SonicWake is polycarbonate. I don't think there's much you can reinforce on the v2.. just cross your fingers when you crash type deal.
I watch RC Saylors and they have one, but I didn't notice the TWO holes - thought there was one. What's are they both for, are they both for the bladder? I'm tempted to save up for the Thrasher, but this is about half the price. Is this river suitable? We got a clubhouse next to the Kaskaskia around Mascoutah IL.
Thrasher is the only self-righting jet boat, that in my opinion is a good choice for a fast river...
You hit any rocks/big sticks with this boat it will break it.
If you want to run rivers/creeks safely the Thrasher is the only worthy boat choice and it's well built.
They just aren't as fast and turning is unstable compared to something like the Sonicwake V2.
It's a whole different experience.
Hey Big B, The SMC precision voltage alarm that you recommended to us to get, unfortunately SMC only is available to be shipped within the states only, including if you want to register even as a guest. Would you happen to know of any company/hobby store that would ship this item to Canada, or would any of your subscribers be of assistance to purchase the alarm. With thanks.
There are other options that is very similar. Here is one from Amazon it works the same way
Apex RC Products 2 Pack Lipo Battery Voltage Checker Alarm LED 1-8 Cell 1655 a.co/d/bUC5B9Q
@@IRONCLADRC Thanks for the heads-up on the option for the voltage alarm. Much appreciated!
Isnt that smell they have when you first unwrap them and open them up the best.
Yepper
BIG-B. I have the black v-2
Also, I run one pair of 3S 5000 Mah “120c” Zee packs
And one set of 3s 5200mah “120c” Zee packs
Heavy “quotation markson the 120 C if you know what I mean.:)
Wires are hot as a pistol and batteries are VERY HOT…. No puff, but VERY HOT..
Sometimes I get power cuts with these batteries. Also, running dasbota sonic-1 prop..with the tabs all the was up!
The thing, rips, when it is not battery cutting. The esc and motor run nice and cool.
Just the wires and batteries get hot as hell.
Any suggestions
Please and thanks
It's not the batteries causing the power cut and hot wires it's the prop you're running. It rips because it's a high-performance propeller. That prop pulls a lot of current, causing a power cut. I thought it was batteries too, so I installed a cap pack on the speed control, but it didn't help one bit. Definitely the prop. Try slow liner trigger pulls it doesn't cut as much.
Hey Big B. I just got an Impulse 32 which also has bad cavitation out of the hole with the stock prop. What prop would you recommend with that boat to get out on plane a little quicker and still keep most of my speed?
Never run that boat but I'd imagine an Octura 4514 would do the trick or 642 or 645 but watch those temps with the 45mm props and the high kv motor if you want to play it safe Octura 4214 or 642
@@IRONCLADRC Thanks! One more question if you have time. I just ran the boat with the stock prop and the horizon 5000mah 100C 3S packs and my wires/connectors were scorching hot when I was done. I measured 175 Celsius! It does not make sense to me why it’s getting so hot with all stock components.
If your wires are getting hot, I wouldn't run the 45mm props. I recommend going with the 42mm props
Wires get hot it's somewhat normal. If your boat is trimmed down running wet, it'll cause more resistance, increasing temps, you can try adjusting your trim tabs up and moving batteries forward. Not too much, just a little bit sometimes this helps sometimes not so much. Good luck 👍
@@IRONCLADRC Awesome. Thanks!
Move your trim tabs and adjust your strut up a little. Best prop I ran was a 1717 on the impulse 32.
I run a sonic wake v2 but now the boat wont go fast anymore in the wster like half speed.
I checkt my shaft greased it checkt if the shaft is goning aggainst my tube but that is ok.
Can it be the esc or is the shaft slipping in my motor coupler
Out of the water i dont see it slipping in the coupler
Could be the coupler slipping, or the drive dog slipping
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🤬
90. Kmh. D'ORIGINE.
Bash on BIGB 😂. Do you prefer this or the Shreedy? Of which, and why?
Personally I like the SonicWake
What are your thoughts on the new proboat jet boat? And do you plan on getting one?
I think it's awesome 👌 I have one on pre order
Awesome. I mean it when I say this, I don’t buy a boat unless I’ve seen you drive it.
But is the white version really faster than the Black version?
No there the same I was kidding around
Big Bib,
Are you joking about the white one being faster than the black one?
Yes I was just having fun
??? Please tell me, in your opinion, Pro_Boat_Sonicwake_V2 is better than Traxxas_Spartan???
SonicWake
I want the new Jetstream
Cool looking boat for sure.
Can the CNHL 6s 9500mah will fit on this boat
Yes
@@IRONCLADRC thank you
What is the stock prop on the v2
I think it's 43 1.6p stock SW PROP
Why are you running an alarm? Why don’t you set your esc to shut down at the voltage you want?
Some times we miss the lvc warnings, and over discharge our packs. Highest lvc option in the SWV2 manual is 3.4v per cell which in my opinion is to low, I'm aiming to help the absolute beginner, the ones who don't know what LVC power cut is.
@@IRONCLADRC ohhh I gotcha. You should do a run and just use lvc, you’ll see it isn’t actually 3.4 when it cuts, it’s much higher. I have to set mine to like 3.3 or so for it to cut of at 3.7v.
Roger that, I'll definitely do this.. thanks for the content idea
Like a dummy I puffed my bats, they were on their 3rd year so I got my use out of them ,pair of spectrum 5000 3s packs,sucks.
B. u da man, V2, take- 2 all Spektrum stock with 160a all the way! Let's see what it all can do together.!! #blowyournipples
Roger that, let's goooo 👍

Thanks for watching, and welcome to the boat gang. I can't remember what size bit I used, but when I do the upgrade, I'll make a video, including drill bit size.
