Run Time Tested Proboat Sonicwake V2 Lipo Battery Options 

You gotta be the hardest working man in The Boat Gang (and your wife must be a saint too). Running boats EVERY day; sometimes 2 videos in a day, I don't know how you find the time..... I really appreciate how you explain things in detail to the newcomers and the inexperienced alike to educate and inform them (my friend Wayne could learn a lot from you - he won't listen to me). I tend to gloss over the "How to" and the "Why" factors in my discussions and focus on throwing ideas out for those who have been in the game for a while and know most of the rules already. Keep up the good work. 👍👍

You answered a lot of my questions in this video, thanks

Excellent!! I now run a spektrum 6s 100c in my sw v2. Raider 150 going in next week, I'll miss the telemetry, but 200 for the smart firma! The UL 19 runs great on the raider, octura prop, but only run it on 4s. SW v2, 6s all the time. With all your mods added in. Great video as usual, extremely well done and beneficial to all of your followers.

Hello ! Big thank you from Croatia 😃👍

Look at Home Skillets laps and times! Imagine how much better he would be if he were not talking to us. What a pro!

I brought this boat last December it was backed ordered. Finally showed up in February,but i haven't unboxed it yet. Hopefully next month when life slows down.

Interesting boat, saving up to be ready to pull the trigger for a bigger boat. i Just bought the UDIRC Arrow! Ty for nice video

It would be interesting to add more and more battery and see at what point the range decreases (at a certain speed).

Perfect video

Excellent video as always Can it run 120C battery?

I love all you're videos but as of late I'm learning about the v2 and this video was helpful as always. Just wondering if different turn Finn like ad 1" to the stock size type of deal but obviously upgrading it. I wonder if it would help the v2 steer or hurt it? Honestly you're v2 is a beast wth seriously!! I haven't had a ton of luck cause of shit batteries that I returned. Seriously you're Honesty is part of why I love the channel. I'm about to purchase new batteries for my v2 and I'm still unclear but definitely not going cheap lol.

I'm looking for feedback here... but I think the stock V2 prop is just a touch too small. Needs more push power. I find that it struggles to come up on plane or stay on top of the water in tight turns. If you are "spinning your wheels" so to speak, but not going anywhere, doesn't that translate to wasted energy? Bigger prop with more surface area to pop out of the hole faster is more short term strain on the electronics , but at least the boat isn't "wallowing" struggling to come up on the water? I'm more asking than telling here. 🤔 As you mention in this video your run time is better with the 4519 prop over the stock prop. Always awesome videos B.

You said over discharged battery even though it technically it wasn't. Some people may think it was. Terminology can confuse a lot of new people.

Stop your gonna make me buy one lol thumbs up my utube friend

What are your thoughts on the GEN ace bashing Lipo series for the v2 sonicwake stock?? I was looking at the 6800mah 3s at 120c. Or they have 8000mah 3s at 100c. Thoughts?? Thanks and awesome videos. Love them and I’ve learned so much.

Learning a lot from you....is there an advantage (run time etc.) using one 6S 10000 mAh 100C over two 3S 5000 mAh 100C in the Sonicwake boat..I will be purchasing soon..thanks

Do you know wich batteries are the best ? My traxxas lipos are junk they all broke in 6 months and 1 in 2 weeks

I'm about to run two 3s 7200 mah. 100c lipo batteries on a stock setup will it be fine Sir ? I haven't got a lot of people to ask.

What’s the best prop for a V2 sonic wake

B, at about 10:50 into this you mentioned after calling a few passes on Full Throttle to bring it back to quarter throttle to cool everything down. I thought the water pump doesn't work at low speeds?

A 4519 with stock electronics and 5000 100c batteries is a good combo? No heat problems? Thanks man

This was a gret video. I'm a newbie, just getting ready to buy my first boat. FYI, the link to SPEKTRUM BATTERIES is broken. Can you fix that please? Thanks!

Will the stock flex cable in the V2 be able to handle the 9500 mah battery? My electronics are all stock, and I’m running the same oxidean marine prop that you ran in the video. 🤙🏻

So your saying that yes you can run a 50c in it correct? I'm. Buying one tomorrow and have a crap ton of 5000mah 50C batteries but no 100C.

Big b what is your favorite battery at this point in time? 💪🏼 boat gang

Great video, learning a lot, forgive basic question please - are the batteries for this boat lipo ‘shorty’ or normal length? I’d like to get my son this boat and need to get the right batteries…

Did you mod the boat to fit a single 6s in?

Im new to the powerboat element of the hobby. can you advise me on what gPS to buy? thanks, Big B youre helping a very steep learning curve.

Awesome comparison but you should include max amps batteries

Nice video Big B i need more help understanding watts and amps for the lipo batteries how to figure out how many amps I am drawing would be nice if there was more information but on a side note I ordered me a Rico racing class one skater yesterday going do build it as a twin electric so excited 😁

I really like and learn from Your vids . Thanks for what You do . ? Is 120C ok in the 5 to 6 000 packs ok stock boat .

COFFIE TIME B

Sorry Noob question:do boat brands matter with battery brands or can you put any boat battery in any boat?,on a budget but i just got the Stealthwake an wanna go faster then what stock is.

Hey B. I'm having issues with my RC Veles with 120C batteries 9000MAH. I know the Dynamite ESC has 720A burst current and these 9000MAH 120,C go way over that and my ESC cuts out. Anything 5200MAH 80 or 100C is ok as long as batteries discharge or burst is less than 720A on these Proboat 120A ESC. I learned the hard way and had already bought the batteries before I found this out. You can only use high C rated batteries if you using a 180A ESC with 1080A burst current but preferably people need to upgrade to ZTW if using big C rated and high AH batteries. Now I'm trying to find a 9000 or 10000mah which are less than 80C that would fit into my Veles and not go over the burst limitations of the ESC and I want these bigger batteries for longer run times. 2S x 2S. Is it possible to get some 10000MAH for 70C rating. 70C X 10A = 700A burst or discharge current. Also Proboat recommend 50C batteries for the Veles. I need to find long but slimmer 2S high MAH batteries.

I have 2 6800 gensace bashing series v2 120c and just ordered 2 x 8000mah 100c gensace bashing batteries do you think the latter will give me considerable longer runtime , im thinking weight. Etc but i have not run either sets as of yet.

Does a bashing 11,000Mah 4S battery too much for this? I have two of them

You need a t shirt that says your chant😊

What’s that red padding your using to hold your batteries? Cause on my first run the battery came completely loose from the Velcro and disconnected

Seems like you'd only want to run huge batteries. I can't stand changing batteries lol. I can't decide on this boat and the bj42.... I'm new to boats and just got the udi arrow 5 a couple weeks ago and love it but already want more speed!!! Lol I'd rather have the sonic since it's self righting. I have a kayak but don't want to have to carry it to me cousins 600' long pond or the lake. My issue is I have 6 4s 120c 9500mah Batts for my traxxas xrt so that makes the bj42 tempting. I have 3 3s 2200 120c for the arrow 5. I hate to have to buy a bunch of 3s batteries now if I get the sonic..... I despise short run times!!! Help me. Which do you like between the sonic and bj42 in my situation? I have plant of fairly smooth lakes I can go to also. Another thing. My batteries all have female xt60 terminals. What adapters do I need for the pro boat end of the plugs? Edit after finishing the video. I like the idea of using that 1 big 6s battery!!! I'm gonna go look at the price of those. I'm gonna want at least 3 runs worth of batteries. Any advantage of 2 3s instead of 1 6s????

Shout out Big B, after owning z donicwake only for two weeks and having problems the retailer sent me a new receiver and the erratic running a low speed continued, so i eas asked to return the boat for testing. Today they made me a call because even with the video i sent to then they did not see what was the problem, but they asked what batteries i was using and after saying that were gens ace 3s 5000 mha 60c they said that was the culprit of the situation. They are new batteries and they have no problem. The problem is at low throtle i would much appreciated if you could give me your oppinion.

Hey Ironclad. I asked you a Q about my new Veles boat. This time I have a Q for my Atomic boat. What batteries do you recommend me for long running times for a Volantex Atomic SR85 Catamaran. It's running a 1750KV and the ESC is upgraded from stock 80A to a 120A one. I've been running a 4S 4200mah 30C and the battery is only lasting like 3-4mins. I'm not even running it half or full throttle. Please help. And are 80C batteries good enough what ever the mah ?

Wich boat do you rekomend for just playing around?

My supersonic V2 is stock out of the box just wanna change the stock prop

I got a question about charging I have some 2s batteries that seem not to be charging they r 5% I have a prophet sport mini charger it won't go to any other color besides red and green I have xt90 connectors how do u clean them

Is there any alert or alarm for when the battery gets low?

What batteries will get the most run time

Does your EC5 loop connector spark when you plug it in ?

How does the ESC run vs the Stock one?

okay ?

Would 2x 3s 9000mah 100c be to much weight in this boat???

how much a 6s china hobby weigh

So I can run a 5000 50c?

my 6s 6600 cnhl outruns my dads spectrum v2 5000 v2 easily and I run harder. Spectrum def not worth the money. The 6200 3s twins cnhl race packs last even longer.

Boat is on backorder can't buy one

5minutes is like nothing😐 That's not much fun for the Money to be honest.Does 2x3S 9000mah works in this boat?
