39" Mono, Castle 1717 build.

[Make-a-Wake]

Todays vid.................quite pleased, temps still insanely low...............guess a 645 is next, should get me to 60! EDIT: this run is with an x447 up from a 445 in the previous vid. 53.5 mph gps'd

sounds good

[DISAR]

do you have any offset on the shaft to the right or it is centre?

it runs very well, seems like it can handle more speed

[Alfa Spirit]

Very nice boat, what about torque effect? I' building a 39" MHZ with the same motor. I will try 2 rudders and Speedmaster stinger. Too much torque for a 39" mono? Thanks

[Rumdog]

no way Alpha. I ran that hull with a Neu 2215 on 9s and a x457 with no torque roll issues. She's a biggin!

No offset.................

What do you alll think of trying an x645...........went well with the 445 and 447............seems like a 645 would be next in line.......

I'm concerned about the T180 ESC. Thoughts?

[blackcat26]

If your motor and speed control are low temp'd I would step up and try the 645. Do a few passes and bring her in and check everything. A 447 actually has less total pitch than a 642 does. If it was me I would try the 645. If that looks good I would prolly skip the 646 and try a 648.

[Make-a-Wake]

I have a 642 and was thinking that would actually be a slighter step up from the 447.........but the dia. is pretty small..................so 645 i guess............

[blackcat26]

I always refer to the prop section on this site and look at the numbers to make my prop decisions. Now put the 645 on there and kick it!

Awsome ! $90 Speed controll running max volts in a 39" mono. I am 110% sold on the 180's !

[Make-a-Wake]

Thanks rearwheelin'................. I own several T180's and they are darn near bulletproof. It has been mentioned that they have tested at more like 200 amps constant. The BEC's have always worked..............

I threw my 645 on but the prop hub is smaller than the 447 hub so it looks goofy with the big drivedog...........no smooth transition.......and the hub is shorter too. Gonna order an x450 and probably use it as my final choice as it 'may' hit 60mph, i'm more than pleased with the solid, cool running setup and im not "racing" anyways.

I have modified aeromarine drive dogs with a dremel to fit smaller prop hubs, there drive dogs are 3/8 o.d. and strong.

Ok.........finally threw the x645 on. Still got a bit of tweaking to do...........there's a bit left in it i think.

Vid edited down to save time, think i got the top gps pass here.

[Brushless55]

is this the biggest prop yet for this setup?

[Make-a-Wake]

Yep. so far..................i think a may try an x450-452 for more diameter though.
