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.

Yep I grease every boat before it hits the water. Pre run ritual

Nice video

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👍

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

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"

I've herd that from several people

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.
