​@@marcandreasson87 Running Oxidean Marine Pair CNC High rake propeller 45.7mm (1817) 3/16 bore. The props keep breaking when you run over 100 mph. The boat has too much power for aluminum props with the twin 1650kv setup. The ears also break on the props too over 100 mph. Both ESCs stay super cool 90° and motor temp 80° running 10 to 15 minutes non stop. Twin 8s running (4) SMC 5200mah 150c battery temp 75° these props are great running 100mph and down that's why you see in most videos were not pushing the boat hard only 70%-80% full throttle. (4) sets of (1817) props broke but at $90 a pair its hard to say no more. The dog drive prop holder broke off the connecting part of the blue propeller smooth off on both props. We will be going ABC props soon through Bonzi sports then going dasboata soon the goal is 150mph the boat definitely can do it just a matter of prop selection. The ESC's are the stock ones in the boat when you choose the ARTR twin 1650kv animal cat 2. Not sure the specs on the ESC but it's capable of running twin 8s if you choose the 1650kv setup. My only complaint is the rudder blade breaks alot. We've ordered 25 rudders and broke 7 so far. My advice is to order the shorter rudders from ali baba express. They break less and have a deal for $12 each for just the blade instead of paying $69 each for the whole assembly is through TFL north america or bill oxidine site. Look up the TFL zonda on ali baba website. The rudder and rudder assembly is the same because the boat zonda and twin animal cat 2 are the same both built by TFL China. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

@@portcitygrady Heya, thanks for the detailed reply. Yeah I was reading on forums the CNC props don’t hold up too well around the 100 mph mark. ABC or stainless steel I believe is what’s needed. Oxidean Marine has A46’s which from memory are 1817 equivalent. They’re stainless steel too. With your rudders do you hit objects in the water where you run a lot and the rudder breaks? Or are they just breaking ? Does the TFL rudder have a ‘ break away ‘ feature where when you an object the rudder kicks back up and prevents the hardware from breaking away from the transom ? I envoy you having access to SMC batteries. Here in Australia they are next to impossible to get. Have you tried pushing your batteries right the way forward or at least 1/2 inch at a time until you see she’s holding steady and doesn’t want to blow over ?this way you I think you can get on the throttle more.

​@marcandreasson87 when going 90+ mph with the 1817 high rake 1.9 pitch props from bill oxidine, the props produce a ton of lift due to the design. As long As you're going 85mph and down there should be no issue. As you know catamaran boats flip a lot due to the design even in the professional sport then combine that with a heavy lifting prop and you have a boat that will pop a water wheelie any time you hit the power no matter the tune and the wind under the boat will cause it to fly in the air and do back flips is ultimately damaging the is rudder on impact. Water has no give so it's like hitting the ground. That's why we are going to a prop with more speed and less lift to keep the boat down at high speeds. When the boat flips at high speeds the rudder will bend into a U shape easy. I've tried to strengthen them out with my hand at the pond and while this works the rudder still dosnt look fully straight but will run fine up to 90mph you hands will get cut bad and bleed so where some gloves. The boat is really heavy and sits right above the water almost looking like a submarine when sitting still with 4 batteries inside. 9 times out of 10 if the boat flips in the air the rudder will be bent when it comes back to earth lol. Sometimes I can't bend the rudder back. Seeing the youtube video of the boat running does not do it justice. This boat is truly amazing. It's very easy to tune and ride like it's on rails. The batteries are all the way at the front of the boat. I cut the foam in a way that you could slide the batteries all the way to the front and the boat will still lift out the water if you squeeze the trigger at any speed. You have to ease into the accelerator anytime you're running this boat or it will ride a wheelie or do a back flip even with factory props. Rcboatbitz is in australia and me and my friend's order a lot of products from him and email him about upcoming products. I'm hoping. That he will produce turn fins and trim tabs for my new boat the super sonic wake 48 i plan on running 12s-14s with the new hobby wing V4 300a esc i ordered last week. CNHL china hobby make great batteries comparable to SMC and also gen ace too. Let me know if you have any more questions :-)

@ thank you. Yes I’m heavily invested in CNHL at the moment. RCboatbitz is a cool company to deal with. Bought a few items from them. They’re in my home state. Pretty local too. Interesting to hear how you’ve pushed the batteries right up front and it’s still lifting. I have the 1650 /200 animal, not yet run my maiden. More CNHL arrived today 😀. I need to organise a rescue boat before I take her out. I think I’m going to buy an inflatable kayak. following your Animal runs with interest. Keep on it 🤟👍

@@marcandreasson87 inflatable kayak is the easier way. We have a tug boat from horizon hobby to grab the boats that flip over. My friends animal cat has twin 300a ESCs let me know how your boat runs post some videos. I can't wait to see it run.

@@RDM-RC i can't wait to see your set up run. Do you know why the brass tube keeps sliding back towards the plastic washer in the back of the boat in front of the propeller. I have about a centimeter gap between the dog drive prop holder and the brass tube in front of it. When I accelerate the brass cylinder slides backwards and cause water to get in the boat. Little bubbles come form the rear. I talked about it in the other video I posted yesterday. Any advice??? Is the prop holder supposed to be closer to the boat or is it a defect. Please check my other video and let me know.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you agree. it's a great looking boat!

@@eduardonessim4499 the sonic wakes both have upgraded props by is oxidine marine. He has one specifically for the sonic wake and the rudder which allows the boat to turn sharper because it's longer amd they are from RC Boat Bitz but thats it. Do not use the aluminum arm that is connects to the transum from rc boat bitz the stock arm is stronger. everything else is stock besides larger cooling hoses.

@@eduardonessim4499 the only issues i've ever ran across with the sonic wake is that it needs a longer rudder and a better prop. Everything else works amazing.

@@eduardonessim4499 oh I forgot the white boat has an upgraded steering servo for more torque in faster speed turning. eco power wp120T that thing is a beast 💪 it will muscle the water like a shark fin

@@eduardonessim4499 pro boat super sonic wake 48 coming to the channel soon. Ill have it in a few weeks and im going 12s hobby wing 300A marine esc 4s-14s esc TFL 1000 kv 6 pole motor 50 millimeter water jacket 100+ mph. Esc is not out yet coming out in a few weeks oxidine marine has one on his website. 🚤

@@portcitygrady thanks a lot. !! Do yoo guys have the links for the longer rudder and the new prop ? Which 6S batery where you using ? No heating issues with the 120 amp esc ?

@@IRONCLADRC Thanks Big B. If my friend would not have turned the steering at the last second that kevlar animal cat 2 would be in a million pieces.

@@IRONCLADRC Thank you for being a great teacher. I'm learning from you how to work on RC boats and make them faster and more efficient 👨‍🏫👨‍🎓

@@nitrous36 thanks bro 😁 im going to do a night run since the baja has head lights roof lights and brake lights. Coming soon.

@@portcitygrady Can't wait to see it.

@@jdpaslRC lol Thanks bro. I definitely had some close calls 😂. I've had a few gas powered vehicles run away on me so it's just a reaction in case the power ever cuts out. I know my batteries are charged but My aftermarket kill Switch broke on this buggy.

@@portcitygrady brap!

@@ericsacco7406 No I have not tried 4s on this boat , but I know it can handle 4s on the stock motor. Let me know if you try it in what you find out :-)

Hello, friend no I have not tried 4S have you? let me tell you this boat is truly amazing. I'm not sure what they did when they built this boat but for a beginner's boat this the best boat ever.

@@ozancengizaydin Hello my friend. i'm using a seaking 120 esc It's the one that's flat Transparent and looks like a computer chip. It can Handle up to 6s but im using 3s 4500 mah in the video. I Replaced the prop with the fifty two millimeter from amazon 3 millimeter diameter and the stock esc over Heated and Expanded. I replaced the esc and I haven't had any problems with the bigger prop because it can take the load Plus the prop is polymer so its light. The stock motor can definitely handle 4s But I wouldn't push it to 6s lol. By the way if you change the battery out make sure it's something that can fit in the tray Because if you put a heavier battery in the front It will change the Center gravity like mines and The boat won't steer is good but will go fast in a straight line. Don't forget to greasure you shaft every other run Happy boating.

I typically run this boat two hours at a time so it's about six batteries i charge and they last roughly twenty minutes each on 3s. I wanted something I could play with for hours so I am okay with the bad cg lol.

Thanks bro

My friends hit alligators all the time bro on accident 😂 the boats get broke up and i rebuild them and do it all over again.

@@portcitygrady oh sh!t

Thanks My friend 😁

Thanks to your vids our boats run awesome!

I seriously need to find me an Impulse!

@Wanted1069 It halls ass. My batteries were low, and I was trying to conserve it.

@nitrous36 BIG B with Ironclad RC has a few of my boats in a couple of his videos. (Zelos 48G and 36in.) If you're not following his channel, he's a wealth of boater information and has excellent content, too! Well worth checking out!

I liked it a lot but still want more power lol I need to switch to taylor rc or detroit performance rc

Switches

Heck yeah bro it's one of my friends rides thanks!!!

Yes

Proboat sonic wake v2 is the best boat for the money hands down bro. Boat bitz in Australia has a great fully upgrade kit and as long as you grease your prop every 2 runs its amazing!!!

No I haven't but if you change your ESC to a 4s one. The stock motor can handle it. Hobby wing makes a great 4s esc. Get some 4s 50 or 60c batteries and you will go faster my friend

@@portcitygrady our group has a 3s rules so I should be good, now when I build my drag boat that's a different story

@@toddshobbyzone659 I understand that's pretty cool!

No it will burn the stock esc up

Sorry I don't have a part number but I found it on Amazon I just googled 4mm prop and it popped up. I would not recommend putting a larger prop on unless you have changed your ESC. My stock ESC died immediately lol 😅💥💨

Thanks for the advice

I used the Turnigy 40c 3600 mah and placed it in the middle of the boat. The hobby wing esc helped keep things cool the battery gets a little warm but not to much esc and motor stays cool I need up my c rating. Motor can handle up to 4s it's strong. The esc I'm using can go up to 6s it's a great boat for the $$$ turns on a dime. It's not easy to put big porp on you need to slide shaft out a little and grind another slot for the set screw In from of prop.

I got it from Amazon. Makes the boat go faster with the stock motor.

Amazon

Absolutely fantastic !!! Thank you for sharing !! Have you tried 4s on that set up?
