The weather is warming up and that means it's time to look into RC boats like the new ProBoat SonicWake V2 6S RTR found here: snp.link/dfacdcc6 Yes, you saw that correctly, this is version two of the popular self-righting fast electric boat. Proboat has made a number of revisions to the boat to improve its performance over V1 which we absolutely loved. In this video Greg will show you what’s new on the V2 boat and even pulls out V1 of the boat to show you the changes. Then of course takes it out for its first few runs to show you the hull in action. If you’re ready to jump into the world of RC boats or need a new speed boat for 2022, 2023, 2024, and so on, this is a boat you need to see!

@MrMad2424 2 года назад

Nice run down. It does 50mph+ fairly easily and handles great. Mine was a little wet out of the box too. This boat was supposed to come with the DX3 but the global chip shortage caused them to make a last min business decision to swap it out, for the SLT 3 so it could be released for Spring 2022. . Always good stuff from your channel.

@SebastianLong 2 года назад

Im getting worn out from all the V2 models being released from Horizon Hobbies, but this boat isnt a bother. Has some features the V1 needed. I have been planning on getting the black and green V1 for a long time, about 2 years now, but ive been knocking out some other RC wants first. I definitely like the dual pickup and inner rib reinforcement. Im not a fan of the decal art but it isnt enough to deture me from getting it. I also like the price didnt jump up like everything else. Everything was increasing like 120$ or more like the DBXL for instance. The V1 DBXL K&N was on my list for as long as i wanted the Sonicwake, but has been on backorder for the same amount of time. I will DEFINITELY need to put the K&N body on the V2 DBXL as well as taking the silly wing off when i get it. Im very happy to see the price for the Sonicwake jump up only $20. That is a huge positive as a lot of the time that $120 increase has stopped me from buying other models without seeing the value in the increase. The Sonicwake easily shows the $20 value increase in the dual pickup rudder alone, then there is the reinforcement, trim tab changes, etc tjat makes it a bargain for sure.

@ET-ve3wb 2 года назад

Sonicwake is the most fun rc boat to play with on the water!

@QuebecoisSti Год назад

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.

So, maybe a silly question but I'll ask it anyway: any thoughts on the SonicWake v2 vs the current Traxxas Spartan? I like the self righting feature of the sonic wake - not planning to invest in a canoe to save the boat - but I also have a fair number of traxxas batteries/chargers for the RC cars/trucks… 🤔

@aaybes 2 года назад

I could also get the SonicWake and use traxxas batteries… but they're 25C instead of the 50/100C that seem to be recommended for the SonicWake's electronics.
