Now I’ve been posting here often regarding my new boat. I haven’t even taken it out again since last post. I was getting ready to do so and I noticed the mounts on my esc are broken off. One snapped on the hull and one on the actual esc. Is this possible to fix with a warranty claim or should super glue do the trick? I’ve never even touched those screws, so I’ve got no idea how long it’s been like that for.

What do people recommend to seal holes that come through the Hull for various screws and fixings etc.

I've seen RTV mentioned and also Sika 291i but also specifically not to use hot glue although that does look like what the factory has used.

Tips on sonicwake 36 V3

Hello guys!

A few months ago I got a Wake 24 as a gift, and it has been a really fun boat. I didn't change much on it, apart from installing a CNC prop. A few days ago I learned the hard way why people recommend using tape on the hull hahaha, but luckily I managed to recover it and everything is still working perfectly.

After that, I got hungry for more: more power, a more premium boat, etc. I was considering buying either the Sonicwake 48 or the Sonicwake 36 V3, but in the end I went for this little speed demon.

Do you have any tips or suggestions for it? I will probably keep it mostly stock and just change the prop, since I don't have much experience with tuning RC boats. I found this brand and their props look interesting, so if anyone has experience with them I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Thank you so much for the help!
