Looking for some help on the setup of my 1/8th Bud T5. I've been trying some different props to reach 60mph. I have a setup that runs mid 50s really nice but would like to at least know I can hit 60. It's a mental thing!
Anyway I'm thinking that I currently have the strut to low. The center point of drive line is approximately 3/8" below the bottom of rear ride pads.
Should I raise the strut up to be inline with bottom of ride pads to get some more rpm and possibly the 3 more mph I'm looking for? Just throwing a bigger diameter prop is not working!
Current setup (about 20 lbs)
ESC is SF 300
10s (65C 5000 mah packs)
5698-835 kv
Octura x457 handles great and runs 57 on gps
Prather 255 is actually a few mph slower than X457. More amps and less RPM than
I have some 3 blades I could try also, X646, X450 and X452.
I have not changed the strut height as part of testing props.
Any thoughts on how I could possibly get this boat to run 60? Again, not looking to race, just challenging myself!
Thanks for any input!
