Power Cut Issues 8s SonicWake v2 Spektrum Firma 160a Upgraded Esc 

I love the Sonicwake look as it runs through the water! With the last years help you have given with your boat mine has become dependable and fast! Thank you.

Dang B! Keep at it bro. Thanks for all your info you put out there for us. This is exactly the kinda stuff us newbies need. I’ve been trying to figure out the deal with power cuts on my stock SWV2. Just installed a Flopack cap pac, but haven’t had a chance to run it yet. Looking forward to see what you get figured out with this one. BGFL 👊

What’s up b Rob again lol but did you ever figure out the best prop for the set up? I’m running the CNC 4214 Magnalium 7075 propeller on mine and seems to run great! I water logged my gps the other day flipping the bj24 and cracking the lip :( but got it in some rice to see if I can get it to work again! Boat gang love the videos!

Big B, I thanks for all the time you spend on our behalf. Lots of great information shared. That being said I’m wondering if you ever addressed rudder length? A lot of the rudders come extra long due to the various boats they might end up being installed on. So how do we figure out how long is long enough? If you already did this please reference the episode it’s in; thanks. Keep up the great work.

I was hoping for a good speed run video with this setup, But some days are good and some are bad unfortunately in this hobby. At least you get to keep boating though! Our lakes are frozen here.

Thanks so much for the awesome video! I think you just helped me solve my cutting out issue on my Sonicwake.

Get rid of the battery connector adapters! Running nice qs8's and choking the current supply with crappy ic5's

Put a brand new 160 in the boat. Only get about 3/4 throttle out of it for about 2 seconds and then cuts power to motor.Full batteries switched out controllers and receivers same thing tried three different motors same problem

That is a hot prop but , I think its the timming . You could see it wanted to take it. You could see it after the first cut out and then you would nail it and it would take it better . the second time almost resulting in a blow over.

I have a Traxxas Spartan that has a power cut it just started doing it and I haven't changed anything not even the prop from stock dont know how to fix it. My 4s race boat blows the doors off it and im running the Spartan on six s

Hello I have the BlackJack 42 with the Spektrum Smart ESC that came with it. I can not figure out why the ESC keeps cutting out when Accelerating. It happens at all Throttle positions. I accelerate at a 1/4 , 1/2, or full.. no matter where the trigger is at, the ESC still it cuts out then go and then cuts out and on. Using Zeee 4S Lipo Battery 6200mAh 14.8V 120C with XT90 Connector. Please Help me this is so frustrating. As always .. thank you

What are the White Rings you have on the water lines. Where the connectors are.

Boat gang! Sup big b got a question do you think the 1350kv spectrum motor would do better on the props that you got power cuts on?

Thanks for your fantastic channel! I also run this spektrum 160A as stock esc in an Impulse32. In the beginning I had no issues at all and reached 72mph on 8S at ease with a TFL 4214 3-blade. Lately I also got lots of power cuts with the same setup, even on 6S. Nothing gets even warm. Maybe the stock motor a 3674 2000Kv or the ESC itself got an issue. How would you track down any of these? Thanks for all your great work, highly appreciated!

Great video..very informative

BIG B!… I’m just in the comments to see all the wrong answers! If you wanna figure this issue get with GEN 1 and I’ll show you where all those issues coming from! 👍🏼👍🏼

I think 6s is all I'm going to use in my v2. What would be your picks for upgrades to keep wires coolest? Ps still have some need for speed🤣

G'day big B Byron here the power cut issues are probably causing by the sonicwake motor v2 motor not suitable for 8s try the proboat impulse 32 v2 motor spektrum firma SPMXMM1100 2000KV my sonicwake has the impulse 32 v2 set up in it and it awesome on 8s and I also have the proboat impulse 32 v2 you should get one thanks

Can you show how you have the battery’s? I barley fit 2 4s and running into issues

What did you end up finding out on what prop worked without the power cut?

Stupid question, but how does the size of a 1619 compare to a Oxidean 4519? Is it 1.6 inches vs. 45mm?

Retired my SWV2 for the winter here in the UK, I hope Santa will send me a ZTW 200A Esc to try in the spring, meanwhile I have fitted the stock 120 Firma esc into my SR80 Pro along with a 1580Kv in runner, on 6s it's pretty dawn fast and still self rights, it's now my winter basher boat.🚤👍

big b got a quiestion for u what is that adaptor you use for two battrires to one batttery

What is a good paint for a abs hull for my pro boat recoil

Boat gang baby!! Damn iron I had my kraton 8s exb castle xlx2 have a power wire come off the board and poof. Ever have anything like that happen with the hydra?

Qustion, are these power cuts due to too much current draw or low voltage spike????

Nice calm water.EH

The battery operated chainsaw boat didn't work.

What KV motor was this?
