Hey Guys, need some help from the pros!

I just acquired a UL-1, it has a 6xl in it, and I plan to run 4s lipo. Not looking for a speed demon, 50mph max.

Looking at props, the octura x438 looks to be about right, but I wounder if the Grimracer L38x55 would be a better choice. They appear to be very similar in spec.

I see that the grimracer is listed as a lifting prop, and I thought that was what you had to use on a hydro (this is my first hydro) but I also see that the UL-1 runs the same prop that the supervee does stock, so I am a bit confused...

Please steer me in the right direction, I just put around the local pond, so good temps and runtime beat speed for me!

Thanks!

Ok with the 6xl and 4cell lipo I would run X632 or X432.
I run both of these in some of my boats just make sure you have good cooling for everything.
I get right around 60mph some times a bit more if the water is smooth and no wind.
test these props out let me know how it works for you.

Mine hooks and fly's love it.

WOW...6xl 2779kv motor using 4s lipo has unloaded prop speed of around 39000 rpm +. You better use a small prop or you will burn up ESC.
