targetingxmod Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 So i got now a ProBoat SonicWake 36" Rc boat... First thing i did was unboxing it, and solder some real connector's to the esc... Here are the first pic's and the very first video... -80kmh out of the box? To be proved...by experience i will get around 75/+78kmh on a average day! Can't wait to test it! -Photos of the Rc Boat family i have! -Do i see some EC5 series connectors? -Not anymore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coops Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Was talking to my lads the other night whilst out walking past a lake - what happens when your RC boat runs out of battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC GUY 386 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I've had my Sonic lake 36 for about 3 months I've taken it out approximately eight times the last time before this eighth time my steering servo locked up and was stuck and Left Bank thank the Lord I brought my recovery boat with me to get it back but I was going to take it out today and upon arrival at the lake I noticed one of the wires coming off the ESC the black one is melting it looks to me like it was a bad solder joint where the ESC female end is soldered.https://photos.app.goo.gl/KhJvMem4WLcCHnJY9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
targetingxmod Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 To much heat that desoldered the connector. The SW36" to be reliable needs to have 2 cooling lines. One for motor, and other for ESC... otherwise is a recipy for disaster. And as you know any RC has it's own problems... but all is fixable! Video of last week...

willb Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Nice videos! Out of interest, how long are you getting run time wise with your Sonicwake? I'm not seeing 10 minutes with 5000mAh LiPos which is surprising. It's a big boat I guess! I also had initial overheating issues, after some extensive research, how the connectors are soldered is paramount within the Sonicwake. I'm running XT90s, I had to strip almost too much wire, force each into the connector so it crinks slightly and solder that in place. Basically, cram as much wire in as you can and fill with plenty of solder. Took a while but it stopped all my overheating issues even after running 5 different pairs of LiPos one after the other. Just wish I got longer run times! I'm toying with the idea of swapping out the stock ESC for the Hobbywing Seaking 180A in the coming days.
