That's a huge difference with the rc boat bitz prop. We have a V1 so best we order one and get 1 for the TFL princess as well. They had a 50mm on and it would overheat even with a 4074 2000 kv. Tried a few other props and runs cold now. Those rc boat bitz props are amazing.
I also had big trouble with the Geiko 36 melting it's liner , was red hot. Used a rc boat bitz liner and no problems now just warm. They seem too tight on the flex cables from factory. Motors were aligned perfect so had to be the liners .
did ours go straight in the place of the stock liner? i actually think this one has freed up now but ill spray wd40 down there as well as regrease next time i take it out. more looking forward to trying the impulse 32 out when the weather is better though, this thing is just a plastic toy in comparison
@@RCBoatBitz yes mate ,was a perfect fit. The factory one is way too small in the od for the flex shaft. The thing melted the epoxy , was red hot. Used your liner and it's perfect. The 4mm you have are a little bit big to get in the tube but I sand them with 240 and they are perfect. Would rather a bit big than too small. Used it in the old thunder tiger atlantic I run on 6s and just warm. Need a few of your props for sure , what a beast they make the boat become. Nice work mate.
Agree, the stock prop cavitates like crap and takes ages to get out of the hole. I ran 2 x 3s 50c 5000mah packs and an X447.. got up to 95kmph. Going to try a 6s 100 c pack with a 1716. Should crack a ton plus im hoping!
Sounds brutal. Mine doesn't South like that at all. BUT I managed to get water into the receiver box and my boat after 2.5 battery packs is out of commission now. Aggravated. I can't wait to get it back out.
My sonic wake v2 sounded like yours out of the box. I took it easy on the maiden, realized what was going on and stopped before any damage was done. Really surprised the handbook doesn't say pull the shaft out and properly grease it, or have a warning label on the boat stating the shaft needs greasing properly. The layer it comes with is so minimal. I initially set my battery forward as per recommended in the manual, I quickly realized they need to be rearward to get the boat running nicely. I have not adjusted my trim tabs at this point as I run in the ocean which is rough water by comparison. The trim tab position seems about right. My biggest issue is the way it chews through a battery pack. I am looking to better match a prop to the boat that gives me a better battery life. I am happy to trade a few km/h to achieve this as the boat is plenty fast in the choppy water. Could you recommend a prop to do this? Thanks Allen
Have you tried the Oxidean 4519 blue prop on your sonicwake?? I’ve heard that’s a good prop as well. Just looking to compare which prop is better for speeds and stability. Not sure which one to buy haha
Pff wtf i open my sonicwake afther 1 run , white smoke and a hot clutch. Nou i see you movie en jou problem whit the liner how did you fix it so it doesn't get hot anymore ??
Tried this prop on my Veles 29, its like a rocket with that prop. , wish i had a gps . It's really moving and everything is cold . Great work mate.

The shaft wasnt lined up to the collet properly so it was rubbing on the stuffing tube.
when you use a loop for single pack run does it matter which connector the loop goes into ? the red / red one or red / black one ?
Loop the red and black on 1 plug

Shoot me an email at work and ill send you a link to something more suitable rcboatbitz@bigpond.com
Where can I purchase this prop?
Www.rcboatbitz.com its in the sonicwake category. The stage 1 prop in there is even better than the discontined one in this video
@@RCBoatBitz Thank you sir!
Thank you very much.
Pleasure
Have you tried the Oxidean 4519 blue prop on your sonicwake?? I’ve heard that’s a good prop as well. Just looking to compare which prop is better for speeds and stability. Not sure which one to buy haha
Yes we sell that size too and i did a direct comparison video of the 2 props over a year ago, the 4519 was 2 kph slower and is very slow off the line
@@RCBoatBitz thanks. I’m definitely going to look at the blitz prop. How are the temps compared to the 4519?? The same?? Better??
the 1.9p is always going to run hotter than a 1.4, buy them both and compare for yourself, theyre on special right now
Pff wtf i open my sonicwake afther 1 run , white smoke and a hot clutch.
Nou i see you movie en jou problem whit the liner
how did you fix it so it doesn't get hot anymore ??
Maybe you didnt watch it properly? Just do what i did
My switch took a crap customer service took care of it new esc on the way.
O really, at least im not the only one it happened to
