Good prices, even for the US on both sites, Kiwis slightly better.

I spoke to Jim for about an hour the other day. He's really on board on making new props for electric. But has no input on our needs.

Lots of his smaller props will be electric compatible. What props and sizes are you guys interested in that he currently sells?

Well, the scale 1/10 hydro guize all turn counter clockwise so they need reverse rotation props. The most common size is Octura X447R and the Graupner K55 (reverse rotation). Typically the Octura is detongued, balanced and polished.

There are no usable three-blades in reverse rotation in this size.

If this becomes a NAMBA class, a wider selection of props is even more important.

i know over here, most of US electron burners have in out standrd KIT , h5, h6, h7, 1440, 1442, 1445, x642, x645, x646, x440 -x445 almost all of us over here "try" to have this kinda range, but the ABC range is getting harder and harder to get over here and what we can get is $80-$95 per B&S prop, even a standard 642, and then there is adding cup, back cutting, detounging all that fancy stuff adds up too ( ontop of the $80+ )
all your prices on B&S prop are very resonable even with a bad Exchange rate.

Just thought it might be worth a shot,

in a perfect world i would like to see the H series and 14 series ABC props on here with the option of balancing and sharpening. you seem to all the rest covered.

Steve, the H series are good props. I have a H5(modified slightly) on a Supervee and it absolutely flies. Then the same prop on a whiplash was wicked as well.

What mod have you done to your H5 to make your supervee absolutely flies how fast is it now?

Wouldn't you like to know Adrian?:zip-up: na i'm not entirely sure on the mods, i didn't prep the prop.
As for speeds, Dads supervee is outrunning Jeff's one which is doing about 60-65K so its pretty good.
You might have to try it on your Lizard some time eh?:tongue_smilie:

That is a true statement...

If it smells like a fish, and it looks like a fish, it must be a fish...

If you ask me, it comes down to deductive reasoning. There are only 2 major high performance prop makers in the US; Octura and ABC. They are numbered just like ABC props, the blade profile looks like many ABC props, the finish out of the casting looks the same, and they are defiantly NOT Octrua props.

So you are basing your "true statement" in an assumption?

I agree that they have similar features but that does not necessarily mean they are the same though... can anyone confirm or deny the Grim props are made by ABC? I am sure that this is not a top secret information... it must be out there somewhere.
Maybe even on the box that the prop comes in, perhaps check to see if the address that it's printed on the box is the same as ABC's address... that should get us closer to the truth.

What are you running this prop on ? your rigger

04-23-2009, 04:54 PM
yep will run this just B&S for sport running and run a heavilly modded H6 for racing and a H7 when i get some new 30c 3s packs, the amp draw will be a bit too high with the H6 and H7 for my current batts.

The H7 is a fast prop if you can get it to work. It will push a .21 sized rigger to upper 60's and even into the 70's with the right setup

i am already at 63mph on 6s with a 445 so should be a little quicker with trhe h6 or h7 if amps arnt too much of a problem. i have been told 70mph oval setup is competitive is Aus , i have no idea of that yet, as i have no exp. is racing yet!, the nat champ avg is 76ish mph over 5 laps, also not sure about this as it is only hearsay. maybe 63 will get me a win if i finish that is(or dont smoke anything)....... you know what they say, to finish first ..... first you mush finish ( who said that anyway)
