Hello.

I have a stock miss geico on 2x2s and i want a bigger propell in metal.

How big could i mount before the stock electronic and cables not overheat?

My local hobby store got theas http://www.elefun.no/p/kat.aspx?k=590
Would anybody on this site fit my geico 29 v2?

Thanks for help.

Hello. you can use a M445, X442, X642. I would use the M445 as a good all- around- prop.

Unfortunate at this moment it seems these props are out-of-stock. You do realize for a metal prop to work properly, it has to be balanced/sharpened/polished, the first two steps are critically important, polishing to a mirror finish is not necessary. When the prop is done correctly, it will also be thinned out some what. Chris, ( dasboata) does a wonderful job, his service is first class, if I were you, I will PM him and ask just about any question you might have.
Cheers!
I have the MG V1, I use an off-set rudder, I don't remember if the stock rudder bracket would have enough clearance for a 45mm prop when you adjust the strut all the way up, I remember one time I had to file a groove ( before I had the off-set rudder) above the prop for clearance. Now if the V2 is off-set rudder, you won't have this issue. I am not clear if you have the BlackJack or MG V2 ( In-Line Rudder) .

Thank you for good answers.
Yes it sold out, do you have link to a place that i could order a metal prop? Also in aluminum..
I have look around and i dont know what would fit or not, and what is the max size before something could overheat on a stock miss geico 29 v2 on 4s?

I maby want to change esc so i could run 5s, but im unsure how its going go be with the weight with 2s on the one side and 3s on the other side, in impulse it works fine but maby not in the geico because it have battery on each side?

I ran 4s2p with 4082/2200kv, M445 and X642, Seaking 180A ESC. Currently I have a 4074/2000 motor, still running with m445.
I don't run beyond 4s because of the kv rating of my motor, You need to make sure the discharge rate and capacity match. I would think you will put the 3s on portside. My MG lists to starboard side under full acceleration, it settles down once the speed is stabilized.
I have always bought my props here at OSE, it took me a few months to get what I want but I keep a close eye on the stock. http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/categories.php?cat=16 You can see some of the CNC aluminum props as well.
The M445 is the most popular prop for this hull, it seems anyway. As I said, it's been a long time, I don't remember what is the largest diameter of prop that can go under the bracket, but that depends on the adjustment of the height of the strut.

Chris does a greart job with props, I suggested him on my previus post, here is a review by fellow members.http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/showthread.php?43887-dasboata-props
