Looking to upgrade props on zelos twin

[Chris VB]

I want a pair of sharpened and balanced props to boost my acceleration on my pro boat 36" zelos twin. The stock is 42 mm 1.4 pitch. The boat is quick but sluggish out of the hole. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi I have a set of octuras I can do for you and can have by the week end cost you $84 for the props and the shipping LMK thanks chris

Alright, what props do you have in mind? (Specs)
Stock props = stainless steel 2 blade , 42 mm 1.4 pitch (1 reverse rotating)

[dasboata]

yes 442 with my mods will solve your problems and give you a better top end !!!

[Darin Jordan]

If you properly prep the stock props (sharpen, balance, etc.), they will give you 60+ with everything else being stock.

They are essentially X442s...

I think Rafael got 63mph with a set I prepped for him.

Perhaps... or faster. That 63 was on just straight-up prepping... no bending or tweaking of any kind.

It's all good Darin thanks for the complement ,,, Chris can certainly send me the factory props !!! But I bet you Octuras will have more pitch & be faster,, too bad I am out of the ABC for him !!!! If he ever comes back LOL

Lol sorry, I did carefully and lightly dremel the props for a sharper edge and I polished them to a mirror like finished and honestly did notice a small improvement. It's still lacking in the punch off the line I'm looking for. Watching that video Rafael has with the ABC 3 blades on really makes me want 3 blades lol. I know he did a motor upgrade in combination with the props too though. Im on the fence right now about this prop selection.. i appreciate the help guys, I like this forum

I'd like to add that my props aren't near as shiney as your pics Darin lol

So I'm going to try a pair of 3 blade CNC props to experiment, I was just wondering what size I should try in comparison to the stock size so I don't overload the motors too much. Any suggestions?
