Antenna Tube Installation
Install the receiver antenna in the tube as shown. Keep the end of the antenna above the boat’s waterline to get the best transmitter reception. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102), if desired. NOTICE: Do not cut or kink the receiver antenna or damage may result.

Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. The transmitter and ESC/receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the screws holding the receiver box together.
2. Connect 2 fully charged batteries into the IC5 connectors.
3. Press the bind button on the receiver, then press the power button. The receiver light goes out, then glows solid when binding is complete.
4. On the DX3, press and hold the bind button, then press the power button.
5. Reinstall the receiver box top, ensuring the wires exit the box over the wire ports and are not pinched.
You must rebind when binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and receiver if there are other compatible transmitters in bind mode within 400 feet. Doing so may result in unexpected binding.
IMPORTANT: When using a Smart ESC and Smart battery, the transmitter Smart Battery Level indicator displays the vehicle battery level within 10 seconds of powering on and binding.

Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost during use, the receiver will drive the servo and ESC to their pre-programmed failsafe positions (normally no throttle and straight steering).

If the receiver is powered on before powering on the transmitter, the receiver will enter this failsafe mode. When the transmitter is powered on, normal control is resumed.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
The factory default setting for the LVC in the ESC included with your boat is set at 3.2V per cell. Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may damage your battery. The included ESC protects the boat battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor.
The boat drastically slows or stops completely once LVC is activated. Releasing the throttle and reapplying it will provide a limited amount of power to safely return the boat to shore. Repeated use after LVC is activated will damage the batteries.
Once LVC has been activated, the ESC status light will flash red continuously indicating that the ESC is in LVC mode.
NOTICE: Repeated operation to LVC will damage the battery.
LVC can activate prematurely if you use (1) a low C-rated battery or (2) an old, worn, and/or weak battery.

The average run time using the recommended batteries (SPMXB4S100) is approximately 57 minutes, depending on throttle usage. Limited run time may indicate worn or weak batteries.
TIP: If you’ve installed a freshly charged battery and LVC activates within the first minute of operation, replace your worn or weak batteries with the recommended batteries.
TIP: Monitor your boat battery’s voltage before and after boating by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately). Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to half capacity before storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from overdischarge during storage.

Boating Tips
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat.
NOTICE: Remove the rudder cover before boating or damage will occur.
During the first run, we recommend calm wind and water conditions to ensure that the boat is properly set up. Top speed is determined by the battery’s ability to efficiently deliver power to the motor via the ESC.
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline. Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the boat is moving forward, ensure water flows out of the coolant outlet.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the shore at higher speeds.
4. Bring the boat back to shore when the motor starts to pulse.
CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed boat by swimming. If you need to retrieve your boat from the water, use fishing equipment or another boat.

NOTICE: Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches (30.5 cm) of water.
NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy water, the propeller may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and very quickly, subjecting the propeller and drive shaft to some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller and drive shaft.
In rough water and windy conditions, consider mounting the batteries further forward for added stability
Avoid boating near: · watercraft · people (swimming areas, fishing areas) · stationary objects · waves and wakes · rapidly moving water · wildlife · floating debris · overhanging trees · vegetation

SUPER SONICWAKE 48 SELF RIGHTING DEEP V BRUSHLESS RTR

EN
Self-Righting
The self-righting feature uses a water ballast system. The ballast works as a controlled breach in the hull. As the ballast fills with water, the weight of the water forces the boat to sink, while the air trapped inside the hull causes enough buoyancy to right the boat. The boat will self-right automatically, using water ballast. Once the boat is upright, it will lean to one side. Apply full throttle. The trapped water will be forced out of the ballast tanks by the boat’s forward momentum. IMPORTANT: Applying throttle during the self-righting process may prevent the boat from turning over.

When You Are Finished
NOTICE: When you are finished boating, never leave the boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the boat.
1. Power OFF the receiver by pressing the ESC power button. 2. Power OFF the transmitter. 3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat. 4. Drain any water from the inside of the hull by removing the hatch
and rotating the boat upside down. 5. Remove the drain plug to remove any water left over. Remove any
remaining water with a dry towel. 6. Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat. Carefully dry all
battery, motor and receiver connectors by removing one at a time and reinstalling. 7. Remove the hatch before storing your boat. TIP: Removing the hatch before storage will prevent mold and mildew from growing in the boat. 8. Repair any damage or wear to the boat. 9. Remove the flex shaft and use a paper towel dry it. 10. Lubricate the flex shaft using Dynamite Marine Grease (DYNE4200). 11. Replace the rudder cover on the rudder to protect the sharp edge.

Maintenance
Motor Care · Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions. Undue
motor wear results from frequent turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, boating in rough water or vegetation and boating continuously at high speed.
· Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor from pushing against heavy resistance.

· Lubrication is important to prevent motor damage. If your motor gets wet, lubricate the busings supporting the motor shaft with light duty machine oil. Failure to do so can cause the motor shaft to seize against the motor bushings.
CAUTION: Do not touch the motor until it has had time to cool. It can become extremely hot when in use.

EN
Maintenance, Continued
Dual Water-Cooling Pickup If water does not stream out of the water outlets while the boat is moving forward, immediately stop the boat and clean the obstruction from the water cooling system.

1. Disassemble and clean the water cooling system to remove blockage and prevent overheating.
2. Replace damaged parts.

Rudder Service The Super Sonicwake features a break away rudder designed to swing out if it strikes a solid object. 1. Push the rudder back into place. 2. Use a 2mm hex driver and 5.5mm wrench (Dynamite Pro Boat
Tool Set, DYNT0502) to tighten the screws.
Turn Fin Adjustment 1. Loosen the turn fin bolt. 2. Slide the fin up/down or in/out to the desired angle and height. 3. Re-tighten the turn fin bolt, and repeat on the other side.

Trim Tab Adjustment The trim tabs come installed from the factory to stabilize the boat as it rides across the water. They are set for consistent performance and stability in most water conditions. However, you can tune out chime walk or porpoise effect by adjusting the trim tabs so they are at least 11.5 mm below the ride surface of the boat.
Adjusting the tabs up or down allows the boat to come into more or less contact with the water, resulting in either a smooth, planted ride or a fast, loose ride.
1. Position a ruler parallel to the keel on the right side of the right trim tab, allowing the ruler to extend past the trim tab.
2. To adjust the angle of the trim tab, loosen the locking nut on the adjustment screw, and then tighten the screw.
3. Use a ruler to measure and record the tab adjustment. Measure the length of the bolt head to the base of aluminum trim tab arm.
4. Record the position of the trim tab against the ruler’s straight edge after adjusting the trim tab.

5. Tighten the adjustment lock nut to prevent further movement of the adjustment screw.
6. Repeat this process on the left trim tab, ensuring the trim tab panels are either perpendicular to or parallel to the bottom of the boat.
NOTICE: The trim tabs should be the same distance above or below the boat’s ride surface. Adjusting one trim tab more than the other can cause the boat to behave erratically.
NOTICE: If the boat rolls or flips at full speed, the trim tabs or turn fins may have moved or flexed. Immediately return the boat to shore for inspection.
NOTICE: It may be necessary to bend the trim tabs to remove any down force applied to the trim tabs. This should only be done if there is a gap between the adjustment screw and trim tab plate.

Propeller Service 1. Use an 8mm nut driver (DYN2805) to loosen the nut from the
driveshaft.
2. Remove the nut and propeller from the driveshaft.
3. Assemble in reverse order. Correctly align the propeller with the drive dog on the driveshaft.

11

EN
Propeller Angle Adjustment Raising the drive strut increases speed, but also decreases steering response and increases cavitation. Lowering the drive strut increases steering response, but also increases steering sensitivity and decreases speed. 1. Loosen the nut and bolt from the drive strut on the rear of the
boat. 2. Slide the strut up or down to change the angle of the propeller in
relation to the hull. 3. Adjust as desired and tighten the nut and bolt.

Drivetrain Lubrication Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may result. Lubricating the flex shaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through the stuffing tube. Lubricate the flex shaft and all moving parts after every 30 minutes of operation. 1. Remove the grease catch screw from the rear of the propeller
strut. 2. Use a Dynamite grease gun (DYNE4200) to inject a few pumps of
marine grease into the stuffing tube grease catch. 3. Replace the plug screw.
Full Flex Shaft Lubrication Remove, clean, and lubricate the flex shaft after every boating session. It is good practice to completely remove the flex shaft after a day of running to clean the old grease out and dry any water from the stuffing tube. 1. Loosen the flex shaft collet using two 12mm wrenches. 2. Remove the flex shaft by sliding it toward the back of the boat. 3. Use a paper towel to remove old grease and water from the flex
shaft and the bushing. 4. Dry any water in the stuffing tube. 5. Use a Dynamite grease gun (DYNE4200) to generously lubricate
the bushing and the flex shaft. 6. Reassemble the flex shaft in reverse order. TIP: Do not add grease to the last 2 inches of the flex shaft. This allows for a better grip inside the collet and prevents the flex shaft from loosening while boating.
NOTICE: Running the boat in saltwater could cause some parts to corrode. If you run the boat in saltwater, rinse it thoroughly in freshwater after each use and lubricate the drive system. Running RC boats in saltwater is at the discretion of the modeler.
