Do you know and this is simply a guess for fun? I think it's 52-55 mph.

I was told with the setup and prop to expect 60-65.

Motor: Leopard LBP3650 3900Kv
ESC: Hobbywing 120A
Batteries: SkyLipo 4000ma 40C 3S
Prop: X632 by m4a1usr

Honestly I dont know, yet. Next Wednesday Im ordering that mini GPS from Hobbyking though and having it shipped EMS. So I will know for sure.

Ive GPS'ed my other boat at 43 before and this is faster than that for sure.

You win a cookie sir!

Today on less than perfect conditions it did a 55.9 mph.

I would assume on conditions as in the above video it would be closer to 60.

I tried an X432B back cut (X632 currently) and the speed went wayyyy down 46.6 mph.

Sweet. One day I need to learn these calculations!

I would like to see if there is a sweeter prop out there... Hmmm

The 1.6 pitch vs the 1.4 was evident... As soon as it went in the water I got a bit out I could tell it was way slower.

you just use the speed calculator on OSE. Unless you want to know the actual formula the calculator uses.

You should be able to use a larger prop on the 3650 - 3900kv for more speed. I use that size prop x632 on a 15" mono with a little 3800kv 450 size outrunner ( 28mm can size ) on 3s 60c. Just check temps.
