Kent thanks for the compliment lol we definitely killed the topic of CNC alum props. I am definitely looking to get some stainless CNC props if anybody can tell me where to get em because I need some pretty props for pictures as well Kent lol.

I'd be up for them as well.
CNC props?I have something to add... Just kidding.

Hope everyone has a sense of humour.

Stainless CNC Dunno

I went out today and ran her good.She's getting to be the favorite now.Corners awesome and the speeds are steady.So get this,I figured my ET out(had a few things shut down) and with the 5017's on 6s I got 70mph and 83 amps per motor.Everything was nice and cool.Breifly tried the ET with the 5018's and had 137 amps.Not sure of the GPS on that run as I was just making sure the ET worked.Could the 3 blade 1.8's pull that much more juice than the 1.7 2 blades?

I think more testing is needed.Now that I know the GPS works I'm going to try the 1.8's on 5s again.I'll see if I got any vid.

Shawn when I et my 450/3 it was more than my 455/2 and real close to my 457/2

[srislash]

I may have to order some more 2 blades then.I'll test the speed tomorrow and see if the amp draw is worth it.

[Chrisg81983]

I usually get my highest speeds with 2 bladed props

Someone had told me this a while back,probably Scott(tiqueman).I got the 4518's based on this and when it was doing wheelies with the 5018/3's I decided on the 5017/2's.Mmm,next is 1.8's or 1.9's I guess.I'll have to look around.83 amps X 25 volts is only 2075 watts so I can push the motors a little more.

And here is a little entertainment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkx-cB2f8YA&feature=plcp

Nice run there Shawn, you may get better speed, slightly less draw with the 4818's I think you'll find that 3 blade pull about 30% more than the equal 2 blade. But 137amp to me is a bit on the high side. With my new esc's I have a limit of 150a but on 8s it's a bit of power. Should be good for a safe 4000w don't know how well the motors like that! But, You should be able to push that hull 80 mph easy. Maybe a bit of unnecessary drag some ware?

[srislash]

I'll figure it out.Slow and steady progress is how I'm going about it.Trying to learn along the way.That way my big build will be better.Whenever that comes.Kinda got a stockpile of builds going on at the moment.After the 48mm ones I'll try cutting some big ones down.

Well the results are in and my 5018/3 blades are slower.I recorded 65mph and 128 amps.But that is close considering I was running 5s on the 1.8/3's and 6s on the 1.7/2's.So I guess the next step is to try the 5018/3's on 6s.They (5018's)do make the batteries warmer.I guess that is the 3 blades working things harder.

I guess to be fair I should try the 5017's on 5s and see what they pull off.That would be a safer next step.
