Ty man for the excellent Instruction video. Im new to Rc Powerboating and your vids are just brilliant!

Thank you for sharing this great video! 👍👍
Just got my first sonic wake 2 🎉 love watching your videos about it 😊
this channel is amazing been running rc nitro and electrics truggy sense age 14 and now 24 and finally getting into boats just picked up a blackjack and the sonic wake and love your channel man this is a great video and looking fwd to upgrading my blackjack motor soon keep up the vids love the content man
Don’t wanna tell ya how to do the grease but if you read the manual it says to avoid greasing the first couple Millimeter’s of shaft where the collar tightens on to so you don’t lose the entire flex cable.
Roger that thanks for the tip. That's basically why I use a card to prevent grease from getting into the collet. Good luck not getting grease on the first couple mm of the shaft. Grease in the collet is fine I've been running boats for years and run my boats every other day. Trust me it will be ok👍
DAM thought I was going to see that beast run... got ya sub'd and waiting for her speed run :)
How ofetn shoud you grease the flex cable...🥴🥴🤔🤔
WHy do you need to leave a gap on the drive dog and the stinger? And how do i do that?
Cable shrinkage, if there's a lot of pressure put on the flex cable, it'll break if there's not a gap. Set the gap at the coupler before tightening
One thing I do is just before pushingthe flex cable into the coupling I wipe the grease off that end so no grease at all gets in where the collet grips the cable
How often should I grease my Shaft I run my boat like 6 times a day, my boat is brand new and I don’t want to mess it up
@@PapaBear64-l7x manual has all the answers. Every 20 minutes of runtime its says I believe.
@@jcallesano yes I just bought the impulse 32 and I tell you what, this boat is super fast the other day it got air born and it cracked on the right side all the way down the back of the boat thank goodness for the warranty it’s going in tomorrow to get fixed or replaced and I grease that one every night
@@PapaBear64-l7x really? I'd be BS. That would ruin my whole first experience. Good luck with that one.
@@jcallesano I just sent it off this morning from fedex hopefully they just replace it it only 9 days that I had it
Hockey tape is far better than any other hatch tape .
I've herd that from several people
I don't think your drive dog was loose, that's just a little gap between the square teeth on the dog and the square groove in the prop. This is normal.
It was loose
And this is how you maintain your rc boat any rc boat some people grease every run the more you maintain it the longer itll last treat it better than your car :)
Yep I grease every boat before it hits the water. Pre run ritual
Hi Man, I don't know your name. My name is Michele, I'm writing to you from Italy, I love all your videos and I've been a fan of RC Boats for more than 20 years. I have a Sonicwake V 2 that I've been using for several months. sea water with all the precautions you can imagine... I have never had any problems until now. Having had the problem that the transmission hose slipped inside the coupler, after having noticed that despite tightening to the end the coupler nuts, the whip kept slipping. (there is no grease in the coupler....) So I changed the whip, the coupler and the Teflon tube but I still have the same slippage even with the new coupler obviously original proboat for the sonicwake v2! What I notice is that the new coupler also reaches the end of its stroke by tightening completely against the nut that attaches to the motor axis, while, if I remember correctly, it can also be seen in the your video, the coupler shouldn't tighten completely... I can't understand where the problem is. It all started because at sea, as you can understand, there are waves and therefore the boat bounces with the propeller coming out often out of the water....I know this ruins the transmission, but I still put in new parts... that is, new coupler, hose and Teflon tube! Do you have any advice for me? Is there a better coupler than that one? original? If so, where could I buy it from? Thanks Man!!Thank you so much for your answer!
Have you replaced the flex cable yet? Look at your flex cable, make sure it's not compressed, if the end is compressed where the couple grabs onto it you'll need a new cable
You have some beautiful boat bro. Awesome video.
Thanks brother 👊
Hi , the Mercury 2-4-C marine grease can use in rc boat ? Good?
, Because my nation no sell the dynamite marine grease
Yes sir that should be good 👍
What is the best transmitter to upgrade to, that let's you see all the telemetry data?
Thanks!
Dx5 rugged, dx5 pro will show Telemetry www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=953aec29-878e-4306-b620-2df85883455e&website_id=70256520-69d3-496b-a06d-cfbf9af7a81d&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fproduct%2Fdx5-rugged-5-channel-dsmr-transmitter-with-sr515%2FSPM5200.html
Will this bind to the factory recievers or do you need to change them also?
After all your testing what’s ur best prop for top end on stock set up??
Abc 1716 17/45
@@IRONCLADRC thanks so much man!! I’ll see if I can find one :) with that prop can it be used for regular bashing around too or is it best for just speed runs?
Does the Flex Cable come lubricated out of the box? Or should I do it myself before my maid an voyage
It should be slightly lubricated, I'd grease it just to be safe. I grease my boats before each run. it's like a ritual... I also remove the flex cable after each run so the cable doesn't rust
@@IRONCLADRC and how tight should the flex cable nuts be?
Tight but not gorilla tight, if you over tighten the nut it'll compress the cable and prematurely wear out the cable
What is your go-to grease for your shaft? I'm not sure I like that dynamite grease.
I've been using dynimite because it's environmentally safe, I actually have good success with red & Tacky wheel bearing grease mixed with the dynimite grease. Grim Racer speed grease used to be my go to for all my boats but they quit producing it!
hey man quick question did your v2 come with that bushing on your flex cable or did you put it on?
They make a mini grease gun that tube attaches to it threads right into it. I have to say that it works awesome! The grease goes exactly where you want it to in small amounts. Plus it squirts it right up the shaft! Peace "Boat Gang"
Do you have a link for that?

I have the same boat that I just purchased. Are you still running the liner in the stuffing tube? I plan on keeping mine greased after every run so I don't think I'll remove it.
Yes sir I use the Teflon liner on my sonicwake..
@@IRONCLADRC awesome brother thank you.
@@IRONCLADRC hey buddy, so I'm friends with Bill Oxidine and I just bought the 4818 prop for my blackjack 42. How do you like that prop? Is it a lot better than the stock prop?
Have you ever heard about the Mhz powerboats hulls ? Would you build one ? They look pretty cool for a more "personalised" build. Got one recently, you videos have been very informative and helpful for the build process :)
I'd love to build one. But the old lady might not like that too much
Yhea B ... You got every proboat now. Hope you wil go back to the soul of ironclad rc and do Scratch build video again. Love your Chanel and i have follow your Chanel frome that time you had 12 subscribers and i waited for the second df 35 tutorial video . And i think its to mutch proboat rtr now. Pleace Big B. Just saying you need to go back to your roots of rc boating ❤️ love from Norway 🇳🇴
I am a lojal subscriber , pleace lisen to us. ❤️
I can't find any delta force hulls any where OFFSHORE ELECTRICS HAS NO HULLS AVAILABLE. NONE, I've been checking regularly. Been wanting to build a vortex since last year. And I don't know where else to find deltaforce hulls. Mhz is to expensive for me.
Is that marine grease as thick and sticky as the one you het with boat ?
stiff? It isn't. I wish it were. The little container of GREASE that came with the boat was awesome stuff wish I could find more of it
@@IRONCLADRC pro boat sells some wonder if thats it ?
I've just ordered my 1st rc boat yesterday, and i went big with the SW 36" V2. From driving 1/10-1/7 scale rc, i had to go big. Oh I've been binge watching your videos, all the other channels I've watched thus far, Aren't informative and give a detailed breakdown of the boat like you do. Thank you, and you've rightfully earned a subscriber.
Thanks for the sub and welcome aboard, BOAT GANG FOR LIFE
Did you ever use maxima marine grease?
No sir I haven't is it good stuff?
@@IRONCLADRC dont know i was looking for something as good as the one that comes with pro boat but bigger jar for savings! Thats the stickyest stuff i seen yet
She's still stock bro... can't believe it's been a week and no tinkering!! 🤫
I'm waiting... 😂
I haven't had the time, I've been so busy as of late. It's coming
b i have a old impulse and it seems loader then before
Possibly the motor bearings, you can clean them out or replace them
@@IRONCLADRC oh ok
I will check that out
Or you have some cable whip? Is it always loud or is it loud when you Rev it up full throttle?
when u go full throttle
Nice helpful video. Thanks Big B!!
Will this work the same with the sonic wake 48?
Yes exactly the same, the 48 has a screw on the strut barrel you can remove to grease with a grease gun, or do exactly like i did in this video
Appreciate ya! Enjoy your videos.@@IRONCLADRC
IRONCLADED OUT!!! Oh Ya BIG B!!!
Just got my v2. went through all the hardware, collet, connections, checked shaft for wobble on a flat surface, regreased and assembled. shaft is 98% of the way on being centered on mottor collet. any advice for a super harsh vibration when running on the bench? With the prop off or on its still there so im leaning toward shaft. when i disconnect the shaft the motor turns butter smooth and quiet.
Could be the prop out of balance. Take the prop off and bench test I'd there's no vibration with the prop off the prop is the culprit
@@IRONCLADRC prop off still vibrates. Obviously the flex shaft flexes but maybe the liner was installed wrong... Some forums said running dry will cause that but ive seen your videos. Run on the bench smooth!
Excellent ! I appreciate the info You've provided . I'm going to get this boat .
Id go for it brother it's definitely worth every penny Use the links in the description it helps the channel out. Thanks
Nice video
Same grease I use
