I have modded a UL-1 with a Leopard 4082 2200kv with wire drive and a Castle 120 on 4s. I trued the sponsons, added an air dam, mounted batteries side ways, sharpened turn fin and rudder, strut is 1 1/8 with negative trim and the boat runs is pretty stable with this setup. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on what props I should try? I have run been running two blades x640 and x642 on it and both ran well temps are barely warm on the esc and motor is cold. Now I know I am pushing this little hull to its limits but I was curious if anyone had any ideas on props for this setup.

Thanks Aaron

I run a minimum of 445 prop on the 4082 1600kv but 200a esc they seem to turn 447 nicely as well

oh man, this sounds nuts!
if you have it, try stepping up one prop size
you temps sound really good so it should be no issues for the motor and esc
