Congratulations Giorgio :bowdown:

Your the fastest stock Revolt that I know about. Now I have to buy a Octura M545 Prop. Thanks for sharing your Data that is one of the things I really love about OSE Forum. Steve I be ordering a prop and some other parts tomorrow that is the least I can do and thanks for a great place to share Information. :tiphat:

Nice find on the m545.................folks may have never figured out it was the "one" for the stock setup.

I run an x548 on my 39" mono, not many folks seem to mess with the 5 series, but they are a "diamond in the rough" for the right situation.

Thank you guys :tiphat:
I have to apologise me for a not correct data, because the 44.6 with x645 was hit in the afternoon not in the morning how i wrote, rewiewing the pic... "the circle wasn't closed"... too much prop swapping!:doh: nothing to worry just for precision.
while all speed/prop comparision are right.
About 1.5 prop ratio:thumbup1: it surprise me for the great accelleration too,that i think penalized vs topspeed.
I have not motor/ESC temperature data because with all prop, them was been all time barrely warm also if water temp was 23-24°Celsius.
Run time?.... You can discovery it directly by the video that i'm going to upload:lol:

Giorgio, Congrats, your Revolt 30 is running great.

Guys reading.. here is what I like about this. Giorgio has taken it upon himself to make the most of what the boat offers. No silly mods or nutty voltage.

He has it TUNED FANTASTIC and does not expect more from the water then the boat is capable of. His turns are well thought out and only uses what power is needed when the pass looks good.

Giorgio.. you have my attention and my respect! VERY WELL DONE MY FRIEND!

Gio,

I appreciate the trasom pics you posted. How much negative trim did you give the tabs? I have got mine at -2 degrees.

Thx

I've been reading this forum trying to get my Revolt into the high 40s & today it clocked 46.6 & 47.8 mph. I had to take pictures of the gps for proof. Of course Murphy says only the 46.6 picture is readable but I think you can make out the 47.8 if you try.

The M545 prop is the one.

I saw it in person and it was running awesome. Got my m545 on the boat but a storm has seem to roll in so it may wait until tomorrow. Good to meet you guys today Chip, ill get my boat out there sometime soon with you guys.

Mamba, As far as set up, I adjusted the strut to neutral. Checked with a straight edge on the bottom of the hull. This puts the bottom of the strut almost 1/4" above the bottom of the hull. I have upgraded the flex shaft and collet with the OSE units. I have not touched the trim tabs or turn fins. The battery I used is a Hyperion 4s 4200, all the way back in the tray. Scuffed the bottom with 1000 grit. That's it....
Great boat

Chip

Oh, and the M545 prop balanced & sharpened by me.

Nice Job today Chip. Cool little GPS you had. Glad I didnt ask for you to put it in my sport hydro. LOL

I know you were going for top speed today but is your strut adjustable up and down? If so, dropping it a touch will get her settled in the water a little better.

Hi guys:thumbup:
@girotron: I spent lot of time to totally eliminate Chime walk; the Key is both right trim tabs leveled at transom less 1mm or 2 depending by battery weight
Both left trim tabs same leveled 1mm less than right tabs.
Add 40g at the more external left side into the hull on the cog, the same of wheel cars,at this time my revolt auto shut off the chime walk if it engaged.

Hi Chipgibbs & Littledvl Nice to meet you on high 40's, yes m545 push very strong, if i can give you a suggest take a look at both ESC/motor temperature

I ran at least 5 times today for 4 or 5 laps, or about 4 minutes. the only place I felt any heat was the battery connectors, and they really weren't that hot. Motor & ESC were barely warm.

Another great run Gio!

That boat is running like a charm. Beautiful waters man sparkling blue/green. Who would have thought you had those kind of waters over there. I have some Italian blood in me from the Maggiolo's side of the family but I have never been to Italy. I also have family in Cortina D'ampezzo. But me non posso parlare italiano... I am going to prepare a m545 propeller for my Revolt. I am curently running on a X642 and I really like this propeller but now I want to try the m545.

Buona Fortuna!
