Proboat Sonicwake 4082 Motor/175a ESC upgrade

[@edwarduhen8032]

Thanks for giving ideas of mounting the new esc

[@RCBoatBitz]

Thanks for watching

[@chrispaulson748]

I duplicated the 175 a esc and added the leopard motor….what battery and receiver did you use? Can the original receiver that I got for the Sonicwake V2 still work with the 175 a esc? Help! Thanks

[@RCBoatBitz]

The stock radio will work with that esc after you program the throttle

I have a leopard 4082 1800kv I wanna chuck in my swv2 but I'm concerned about the rear support of the motor. Would it be fine without the two rear bolts?

[@RCBoatBitz]

I cant remember how i did this mod, its at least 20 boats ago, i would have supported the motor somehow though

[@SONICBOOM-117]

@@RCBoatBitz for sure. Thanks man. 👊

[@mytotsarehot]

Blackjack 42 or Sonicwake V2? Which would you pick?

[@RCBoatBitz]

Both excellent boats but totally different, you should also consider traxxas boats before you make a decision

[@maximus7714]

Was thinking of getting longer rudder. Would it help with steering? Turning radius!

[@RCBoatBitz]

Most likely but it will change the boat in other ways

[@joeylitzinger6011]

@RCBoatBitz I recently got your upgrades for my sonic wake and finally got to take it out and it was over heating what you think it is ?

[@RCBoatBitz]

Probably a blockage or kink in the hose

[@ronchang9791]

@RCBoatBitz How did it run with the 4082 2000kv on 6s? It'd be interesting to see how it runs 😊

[@RCBoatBitz]

I dont think i ever took it out since i did that, just too many boats. I suggest you go with a lower kv anyhow

[@QuebecoisSti]

Did it lost the self-righting after the mods ?

[@RCBoatBitz]

I only ran it once with that motor and didnt flip it so cant really say

[@chrispaulson748]

What is the best battery you would use for racing?

[@RCBoatBitz]

Highest c rating is always better

[@LOVE2RC]

When putting a water jacket on the motor use lube on the rubber ring's pushing it on while dry can damage the ring 👍🏻

[@RCBoatBitz]

I use dishwashing liquid unless they go on easy

[@leonelmolinajr2]

What water jacket is that?

[@RCBoatBitz]

Just something i had in my spares, 40mm x 68mm i think

[@chrispaulson748]

How fast does it run?

[@RCBoatBitz]

Dont know, too high kv so i took it out after one run

[@paintendaveextremecollisio8057]

Awesome 👍

[@RCBoatBitz]

Thanks 🤗

[@robbomber984]

You wanna sell the 120 esc let me know. Also wondering about some of your sonic wake trim tabs for the impulse 32 I really love the way they look as well as perform on my wake I want the on the impulse. Any way peace p.s. let me know on the esc.

[@RCBoatBitz]

Whats it worth and where would i need to ship it to?
