Talking About The New Proboat Super SonicWake 48" RTR

[@fierceflyer5]

always the best honest reviews. Big B is the man.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thank you.

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Man just love the size of this boat! Hope they come out with a blackjack 52 that’s the same width as the 42 but longer. My only gripe with the bj42. Little too wide for the length and tends to catch air at speed. Also a big ul19 would be awesome as well! Looking forward to seeing your journey with this guy!

[@peterdegrouw8036]

Mine is on the way and damn I can’t wait salute from the Netherlands.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Good luck with the maiden! BG4L

T-shirts and stickers that say "Let's Go". "Ironclad RC" make you some money Big B. You have taught me so much about something I absolutely loved. Make you some money with your product. Your subscribers will help you 🤘😝

[@waynesbutler7834]

The only way you are getting a 48 inch deep V performance boat RTR is with polycarbonate and same thing for the monster called the 42 and at a price most can afford. Proboat is a company like most others that has to cater to a large market and the cost of mass producing fiberglass hulls is expensive and price of raw products to manufacture are increasing. Polycarbonate hulls pop out of moulds like a Pez machine and cover the seam with a sticker. If you want a carbon boat or fiberglass with the sky as the limit you build your own or go to OSE, or Oxidean marine and be prepared to dig deep but its worth it.

[@scottdearmond5532]

Well said especially if you’re not a Horizon Hobby salesperson, just imagine how much fun it would be to fiberglass the “self righting” cavity in the hull 🤪

[@waynesbutler7834]

@@scottdearmond5532 I didnt want to come across as attacking Polycarbonate hulls or the companies that make them, i am just stating how the process works , it's not a bad thing its just business. Companies like Proboat and Traxxas have given so many more people a chance to get into this hobby then ever before and that is a good thing, and thanks.

[@Hogan-m3w]

@@waynesbutler7834 the reality is this boat probably costs a chinese factory less than $20 to produce. People would be shocked if they knew the markup american companies are putting on these slave labor products.

“WE ALWAYS WANT MORE” The Boat Gangs Mantra it’s why we always come back to IRONCLAD RC 👍👍👍 ok “one more time” 🤣

[@minochercowasjee]

Big B , enjoyed the talk. You have a lot more info to share, looking forward to your posts 👏

[@scaleworksRC]

Well said! It's a great boat for the money and that LED on the back is a nice custom touch. That hull reinforcement is the major plus 🦾

[@grumpy1311]

I cut the front battery tray tab off from the 18" Recoil 2 to slide the battery forward and packed foam in the bow to hold things in place. Running props for more speed the boat was hopping and jumping but with the battery forward it settled down and screams !

[@IRONCLADRC]

Sweet, it worked 💪

[@wilkynsgonzalezmarties4276]

Súper bro

[@paintendaveextremecollisio8057]

Awesome Big B I pre ordered one, looking forward to more Videos on this, and thanks as the battery mod will be my first mod👍

[@IRONCLADRC]

Awesome, I think you'll like it. 👍 BG4L

[@carloscabreracampos2136]

Hola necesito saber que elice ponerle y ke diámetro tiene de transmisión ,4’75mm?

[@ANDREGraaff]

Hey was just looking at an older clip of your dominator. You were running batteries forward rather than on the side mount frame. Did you make or purchase battery tray for up there? Does it still self right and handle ok?

[@IRONCLADRC]

I think it handles better with the battery in the keel, opposed to the flood chamber. Stock tray, and no it doesn't self right with battery in the keel tray

[@ANDREGraaff]

@IRONCLADRC thanks. Where might i buy a tray for up there? Mine didnt come with one and you just cant fit any decent sized 4s packs on the side

[@IRONCLADRC]

@@ANDREGraaff Oxidean Marine has the lipo tray available

[@ANDREGraaff]

Tray on the way. Got a new prop from dr props for 8s speed runs. Any idea how to get more from my 6s setup prop wise? Or is it just a symptom of the 1650 kv setup?

[@ANDREGraaff]

And by the way very much appreciate your knowledge and videos. Great to see other people with passion for this hobby. Was beginning to think i was the only one with this addition ha ha

[@RDM3DLAB]

Hey B I have a question about the V1 BJ24, I am looking for a rudder bracket so I can run bigger props. Do you have a recommendation?

[@IRONCLADRC]

I used this 70mm rudder, it's shorter than the stock 90mm rudder. You can buy either size 70 or 90mm www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ose-80052&PARTNER=ironclad

[@IRONCLADRC]

You'll need to make a custom extension block for this rudder or fill 2 holes In the transom

[@RDM3DLAB]

@IRONCLADRC thanks bud I appreciate it. I had a bad day with the 24. I bent the stuffing tube but I caught it in time so I didn't damage anything else. So now I have another project. It's all part of the hobby!

[@Robcadams1974]

I got an extra Oxidean motor and esc from a domintor, would that swap out easy in this boat?

[@IRONCLADRC]

Oxidean 4082? This boat has a 4685. " big block" the dominator motor/esc is to small

[@stevejackson3564]

What's the difference in weight on this mono compared to the 42 cat. Ready to go.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I'd have to weigh both boats, but I wanna say my upgraded 42 is about 1-2 lbs lighter than the 48

[@JuanSQuiP]

Honestly, I'm interested in the boat, but I won't buy it until proboat gets the boat running smooth without those jumps right out of the box. For 700 you want an RTR boat, not a project boat...

[@IRONCLADRC]

Couple turns down on the trim tabs and the boat runs fine, especially with the stock prop, I'm running upgraded Props so I had to move the cog forward.. she runs just fine out the box

[@RDM3DLAB]

I forgot to ask Luis @ offshore electronics when I was there.

[@Willis05]

What is the best batteries for the black jack 42 that are cheap?

[@IRONCLADRC]

Here's a good deal www.ebay.com/itm/156349046250?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=CJetNJgDSJu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=yQkZS9FcQay&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@bigboyrc25]

I wanna see you run that big beast on 12s and see what speeds you get

[@IRONCLADRC]

Most definitely, I'm considering removing the flier 400 out the BJ42 for a couple weeks to see what comes of it.

[@Hogan-m3w]

its pretty easy to know that without building it. SMC HCL-HP's have an IR of 1.5 milliohms and thus an output of 165A at storage voltage. 165A x 42v = 7,000w for continuous lapping which will be in the low-mid 70's range on a hull this large. speed running can will about 14,000w which will be high 80's - low 90's. electric boats dont have mystery to them they are very simple energy in-energy out. once you understand that (by analyzing data logs) electric becomes boring and predictable.

[@IRONCLADRC]

That's the fun part, pushing any given setup to its brink without letting the smoke out.. not every thing on paper works out the way it theoretically should you should know that! I'd much rather run boring electric boats than pull cords all day long on a gasser.

[@bigboyrc25]

@@IRONCLADRCyup I agree with you there!

[@Hogan-m3w]

@@IRONCLADRC its no different than putting a 1000hp engine in a drag car. pretty much every experienced racer will know about what ET it will run. It would be like putting a prop on the boat to see how fast it will run. after a while you will know beforehand about what speed you will get from 4014 on 4s.

[@RickyD1968]

Hey IRONCLAD RC could you make a fiber glass or carbon fiber boat with a flood chamber for self righting ???

[@IRONCLADRC]

Oh yea, it's definitely possible, the mini dom & mini scord is CF FG with a flood chamber. It's definitely possible
