Pro Boat Sonicwake V2 36" Self-Righting Brushless RC Boat Deep-V RTR Batteries and Charger Not Inccuded Black PRB08032V2T1

Made an impulsive buy watching content creators. I know, my fault and not too unsatisfied. There’s always something they omit to help sales and content creation benefits. Awesome speed and fantastic self righting, as presented. It’s always a hit or miss when selecting power. Bought this with the highest battery recommendation from both creator and vendor stating it to be acceptable. Only comment I have, as with all electronic items like this, is use the lesser power. You want faster then buy real equipment I guess, hah. This unit, for me, runs for about 2-2.5 mins with two 3S 5000 mAh 100C batteries. At the end of the run the battery packs are so hot it’s hard to touch. Motor seems ok though. It’s still fun.

I watched plenty of youtube reviews before purchase And they all give great tips on pre-run and post run maintenance The self right feature is the main reason why I love this boat! Its fast over 50mphI got plenty of batteries because you only get about 5 minutes of run time but its worth it!Love this boat so much that I purchased both colors!I suggest that you get a Pro Boat Horizon Harbor for emergency recovery its also a fun detailed boat with plenty of run times, lights and optional water cannons.Thank youOG Paperboy 77

Upgrading the prop to Oxidean Marine's 4519 CNC aluminum prop added 8 mph for me on GPS. It tickles 60mph just with a prop swap.Next season is going to be an Oxidean Marine 4082 motor and their 200A ESC. This thing on 8S will hopefully hit 75.It's fun and fast, throws a huge rooster tail. Turns on a dime if its on plane.I did need to upgrade the cooling system on it. It ran too hot for my liking on stock setup. I got bigger tubing with an inner diameter of 4mm, ordered a "Y" splitter to put in before the ESC, then had 2 tubes going into and out of the ESC directly. It dropped temps quite a bit - like 30 degrees if not at full throttle for the whole run.

i am so glad i bought this boat

This is my first Amazon review. I've been buying stuff on here for a couple years now Some good things and some bad. But never have I been more disappointed with anything more than this boat.I opened the box and read the entire instruction book first. Nowhere did it say I needed to lube up the driveshaft before I used it right out of the box. It did say I needed to lube it with the grease pretty much after every time I used it. But it did not say it came out of the box needing grease before I used it the first time.With that said, you should know where this is going. So the driveshaft overheated and melted the plastic sleeve inside the stuffing tube which heated up and melted the support that holds the stuffing tube which ended up causing the stuffing tube to turn with the motor and ended up honing out a large hole in the hull where the rubber gasket "Was" that holds the water out.Even after that I still wasn't angry at the manufacturer. I took the blame. But trying to fix that has been a 2 week nightmare filled with waiting for parts, spending all my free time after work repairing, going to the water to try it out and being embarrassed when it only goes 5mph and then starting all over again. Just in parts alone I have spend about $250 including a new ESC because the first one melted because of the terrible "water cooling " system. Also the boats "self righting system" sucks and only worked the first day. I had to replace the fried receiver because the antenna came off and their stupid idea to put a tube that goes from the outside where the water is directly into the inside of the "water resistant" box that protects the receiver from getting wet. In short... if you lose the antenna in the water then they made the hole into a funnel to directly divert water into the spot that needs to be dry. Pretty dumb.I have now spend close to $1000 and for that I had one 7 minute run the first day. Every day after that was not fun. Just frustrating and embarrassing.This boats designer should be fired.

Only one thing there’s a fat, scratch on the top of the hood on the yellow

I have a few boats. But this isn’t your average 3-4S pond boat. I ran it at 6S and I wasn’t prepared for the speed. If you’re into boats you know that yes you have to grease your shaft every time you’re running it but for 419.99? I’ll grease a prop shaft no problem. The self righting feature is flawless. Flips right over. I’m impressed. Highly recommend

My husband has a Traxxis boat about the same size as this. We got this boat for our son. This totally beats my husbands enough that he might need an upgrade too. Ha ha! Works amazing, does good even with waves, flips back over without a people. Highly recommend!
