Sorry I know this has sort of recently been covered..but expert advice would be appreciated...:sorry:
My SV currently has adjustable trim tabs, m445 prop (s&b), scuffed bottom, and 6000 Max amps lipos. I think I've got the boat set up quite well, and I can get a max speed of 38.2 mph (gps) on glass water, closer to 40 when the water is a little choppy. Anyway since putting the gps in the boat I've become obsessed with wringing as much speed out of the boat as possible but I think I've hit the limit with the stock motor/esc setup.
So....I decided to order an Ammo 2300 and Hydra 120 from Steven - question is what prop should I be running with with this setup? I was wondering if a X640 or X642 would be a good choice? X637 has been suggested with stock esc but I'm not so worried about keeping amps down with the Hydra. I like the "hole shot" that the 2 blade prop gives...so would rather avoid going 3 blade.
Given the speed I can get with the stock motor/esc setup any guesses as to what I could achieve with the Ammo/Hydra combination?
By the way, I don't race but just enjoy a visit to the lake for a "play"! :w00t:
Thanks!
