Finally something that is the size of the old recoil 1 but it doesn't Submarine itself. I'm excited about the new proboat models in 2024, I wish I knew when they're releasing them
Woah you know we are getting new models ? I have a Veles V2 and Miss Geico V2. Would like a Sonicwake and an Impulse. It would really be nice if a new version of the UL-19 was released. I missed out on that one.
Great review Big B! Exciting to see Pro Boat come out with these mini versions. The full-size Recoil 2 is one of my absolute favorites. It looks like they nailed it with these little rippers! Looking forward to grabbing one of each livery and getting out on the lake this summer!
hell yeah, i'm all about the boats making a comeback! i got a BJ42 with a dasboata prop and a recovery tug boat last summer so i've been itching for another boat, but with self righting
I just did a stop-motion. It looks like the manufacturers finally got the idea that you have to round the corners off the rudder bracket to make it "Kick-up".......
Considering that this model comes with Tx and battery for under $200, I'd say ProBoat has officially entered the realm of "Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control....." 😉
I would add one to the fleet, BUT........ I am operating under the "One In => One Out" rule at the moment, and that plastic hull thing I picked up the other day is really similar in size and performance. So while Dr. Jet may not PERSONALLY add one to his fleet, it doesn't mean he won't be recommending them to anyone that wants to join the Santee Lakes Old Boaters Society. It's the perfect size and speed for Santee and has many great features as you noted. I'm curious to see what other offerings ProBoat will have this year. I'd like to see a 1:16 scale hydro (turbine?) that would be in the 22"~24" range.@@IRONCLADRC
I recommend the 1:16 scale round nose and pickle fork hydros to the top developer at proboat last year. If they did a 1:16 hydro, it would be at least another year minimum for design and production
Got my recoil 2 18 yesterday and I love it but within 3 packs some of that tiny bit of water that made it in fried the receiver so please corrosion x or balloon your receiver big b I got lucky and my hobby shop pulled the receiver from there last mini recoil 2 for me
Hey Mr Ironclad I just got this boat and would like to run A 4S BATTERY With these stock electronics What do you battery would you recomend and possible share the link please Thanks And LOYAL TO THE CLAD MASTER OF RC BOATS . . . Real Talk
Is it better than the 26" version? It was a great boat but fragile as hell, and electronics were trash. It made it through one summer and did irreparable damage to the paper thin top and just trashed it.
@IRONCLADRC Hey Ironclad. Can you please do a video on how to setup a rc boat with an edgetx radiomaster tx16s mkII ? All the youtubers are only interested in drones, planes, or helis. I have older FrySky ACCST V1 receivers. Not one youtuber has shown how to setup an RC Boat with this type of transmitter. :( I'm lost on how to setting up channels, dual rates, the 50/70 switch like the one on the proboat TX. i need help. :(
Man been subbed and watching the shenanigans had to have me one so much fun and so fast drives so smooth would definitely be cool to have a few of them and some buddy’s to run laps would be a blast🔥🔥🔥😎👍
I only have experience with rc crawlers but I like this boat. Do you know if I could put a reviever compatible with my flysky nb4 in this and retain the self righting feature?
Yea, all you really gotta do is forward/reverse fwd/rev until it self rights. You may be able to program the self-righting feature into a 3rd channel, but I'm not 100% sure.
You can yes, but I'd run it a few times in fresh water first make sure there's no leaks or water in the hull if there is you may need to trace down the leak b4 going salt water
Hey man do you know where I can get an esc for a recoil 1 I had it given to me by a family member before he passed away and he hoped I could fix it and is going to take it to the water and play with it but sadly he’s watching from above now Any info or help is dearly appreciated!
HAVE A RACE WITH 10 STOCK BOATS WITH 10 DRIVERS AND YOU WOULD DIE LAUGHING. GREAT BOAT BIG B.

B I heard just yesterday PB was coming out with some new boats for 2024, and it's about time!
I like it!!😅
How did you hear ? Source ? I'm in the UK.
@@MaxPower-zp7wy a person that ownes a hobby shop leaked it out.
I might get back into this hobby . Used to run gas boats . Lots of money . This is sick for 2 bills !

That's good to know.....@@IRONCLADRC
About time. And the quality of that hull looks appealing to me.
Nice looking little boat.
I like your spirit man! You'd be fun to have a beer with. Great review nice speed and turns. I can't wait for stock to arrive now

I'll mention this when I do the maintenance video
I’d like to see you compare this to the mini dom. I think this boat looks to run better
Roger that. Will do

Yes sir gonna have to get one
Its a fun boat for sure

I just bought one thanks B
Love your videos 👍 In your expert opinion, how often should the flex shaft be greased/lubricated? Thanks…Dan
Personally I grease mine before each outing, on my smaller 17" and under boats ever other outing
@@IRONCLADRC thanks👍
That thing rips man
have you ever covered the reverse function of the Sonicwake V2 Proboat
I only have experience with rc crawlers but I like this boat. Do you know if I could put a reviever compatible with my flysky nb4 in this and retain the self righting feature?
Yea, all you really gotta do is forward/reverse fwd/rev until it self rights. You may be able to program the self-righting feature into a 3rd channel, but I'm not 100% sure.
Can the stickers be removed so its just a plain black hull? I wanna make my own decaks for it to match my fcx18 k10 and pull it on a trailer
Nice ❤
would this be good to run in the beach with the salt water and all?
You can yes, but I'd run it a few times in fresh water first make sure there's no leaks or water in the hull if there is you may need to trace down the leak b4 going salt water

@@IRONCLADRC you rock man!!!!!
Thank you so very much for taking the time to help me!
Hey big b do you ever run any traxxas boats ?
Unfortunately, I don't own any traxxas boats. Haven't found one to my liking
@@IRONCLADRC I like proboat better too But it would be cool if you got your mitts on a spartan SR and compared it to the Sonic wake v2 ?
Have you come across a higher capacity battery that will fit? Thanks..Dan
I run the hcl-hp flight pack 1800mah 80s 3s. There longer than the battery tray but work extremely well in the boat
@@IRONCLADRC outstanding - thanks 👍
Is it worth the extra 200 to get the 26 in version?
I think so yes
boycutting traxxas boat
