Congratulations on the purchase of your Pro Boat
™
ShockWave
™
55 Super
Sport Deep-V. You are just minutes from one of the most thrilling
experiences the radio control hobby has to offer.
The Pro Boat ShockWave 55 SS is a professionally built, ready-to-
run deep-V fiberglass model. Powered by the potent Zenoah
®
G26M
engine, you will be able to race across the water at scale speeds in
excess of 300 mph!
Read this owner’s manual thoroughly. You also need to read the
included Zenoah G26 engine manual, along with the JR
®
XR3i
radio system manual.
It is very important that you operate this boat responsibly. With proper
care and maintenance, you will be able to enjoy your ShockWave 55
SS for many years to come.
Carefully unpack your ShockWave 55 SS and examine the boat and its
contents. The box should contain the ShockWave 55 SS RTR with radio
installed, a boat stand, and the JR XR3i radio transmitter. If you are
missing any of these items or notice any damage, immediately contact
the place of purchase.

Although the ShockWave
™
55 SS comes fully assembled and ready for action, you will need a few additional items in order to run your boat. You
will need the following:
Zenoah
®
2-Cycle Oil (ZEN20001)
CA or epoxy glue
Flex Shaft lubrication (see local hobby store)
Fuel container
Fuel Pump (HAN155)
12 “AA” alkaline batteries (8 for the transmitter and 4 for the receiver)
Gasoline (+87 Octane) ethanol-free
In addition to the items needed to run the ShockWave 55 SS, we recommend that you carry the following in your field box:
Before operating your model, make sure your frequency is clear.
If someone else is operating on the same frequency, both models could
go out of control, possibly causing damage to the models, as well as
to others.
Be certain to check all of the hardware, exhaust system, and propeller,
making sure that all are secure before and after each run.
Always stay clear of the propeller when the engine is running!
When you first begin to run your ShockWave 55 SS, place in water
with engine running at approximately
1
⁄
8
throttle. Slowly increase
throttle until boat accelerates onto plane. Gradually increase throttle to
no more than
1
⁄
2
until you become more familiar with the boat.
When operating this model, stay clear of people, full-sized boats,
stationary objects, and wildlife. Also, watch out for fishing lines that
could get tangled in the propeller. It is preferable to operate the
Pro Boat ShockWave 55 SS in low wake, low wind conditions. If you
choose to run your ShockWave 55 SS in salt water, thoroughly rinse
the entire boat with fresh water and spray a silicone lubricant over the
metal components to eliminate corrosion. You should also lubricate the
flexshaft at this time (see Section 17 Maintenance for details). If at
any time while operating your ShockWave 55 SS you sense any
abnormal function, end your operation immediately. Do not operate
your ShockWave 55 SS again until you are certain the problem has
been corrected.
