50" Hydro Build

[Brushless01]

Thats the prop used as an upgrade on the Rio 51 not sure if it will work on a hydro but always worth a try.

You are looking for a 6518/3 or 6717/3 or 6719/3 go to JRCBD you can get them off there or ask dasbouta on here to make you up some these 3 props are the most common props for the large gas hydros, yes there are lots out there but these ones you will see in every gas guys prop box just my 2 cents

What about this prop..........it may work well

Nope its a mono prop,notice the rounded tips,get yourself a 6717/3 with normal tips ie not removedlol.Removing the tips removes the lift in most props.Try Dasboata he usually has them in stock,get one thats been balanced and sharpened.

ps thats two of us who have suggested the 6717/3 and 6719/3 give Chris a shout he will sort you out.He sells stock propshop props but also ones hes worked which is what id advise unless you dont mind working them yourself.

so maybe the 6518/3 on 10s?

I looked into the 6717 and 6518..............may get one, kinda steep on the price though. In the meantime i will try my 1460 on 10s, its a lifter made for hydros.

Why do the Octura lifter props for Hydros have rounded tips then?

Buy a raw prop from Dasboata for less. if you get one all done up when you see it you will see the $$$$$$$$$$ they are nice and you will go alot faster not a little if you can hook it up on 10S that thing should be high 60s they are getting high 60 low 70 with 6.5hp gas motors so if that thing can spinner up she is going to fly

Yes i agree,i used to do my own props and thought i did a pretty good job untill i got one from Dasboata.His props are awesome,and boy do they perform, in fact come to think of it why not ask him which prop to use,let him know your power what type of hull and im sure he will suggest the right prop.

Awh man!
great idea

OK...............all ready for a mid morning run!

10s2p in place.......looks like a spaghetti jungle. Battery setup: 3s + 3s + 2s + 2s = 10s x 2. All 40c 5000mah and same brand, should work great.

1460 has been mounted on the 1/4" to 3/16" flex.

I'm not really expecting much more speed if any, but this may get the rear end up a bit. I bet the 6717/3 will be one, gonna have to order it when i confer with Dasboata.

Are you taking video? Make sure the wires on those batteries are as short as you can get them. Thats a lot of batteries in series. I've done it before and it worked well, I just kept the wires as short as possible.

[Make-a-Wake]

Yeah........i'm taking vid.....its obligatory isnt it..

The batt wires are standard length, never thought about the total length, but when the voltage passes thru, it will have gone thru about 35" of wire.....yikes

Its all heavy guage, and this is just for testing. If i wind up going 10s2p I will get four 5s batts.

You need four 5S batts to get 10S 2P? Oh damn lol. I need to find more room in my boat I guess. I'm gonna run that also

[martno1fan]

Good luck with it,cant wait to see it with a 6717/3 or 6719/3 its gonna bloody fly .
