First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

[seehuusen]

yeah, that does sound a bit much... What diameter prop was it you were running again? 40mm from memory?

[masonis1]

I think it's like a 50x52

[srislash]

No way.A 50mm would flip that boat.

[masonis1]

It was what I was running on the MG

[seehuusen]

50mm sounds a bit crazy sized... LOL
If you find out, please post it up :)

[srislash]

It was what I was running on the MG

Shouldn't be running it there either,you surely must mean a 40/52 3blade as I can't find a 50.

[masonis1]

It is something 50. I forget

[seehuusen]

far out!! I need to get a bigger prop, flog this 37mm mini prop off then!! :D
I was thinking of moving up to a 42mm prop anyway... Someone else told me to get another 37mm prop in a 3 blade configuration... any thoughts?

[masonis1]

The prop is a 42x55

[srislash]

That sounds better.Boats not torqueing over too much with that?Those are small hulls,fairly wide though.

[masonis1]

Yep. I did notice, the boat is handling better with more weight in the hull. Less torque twist and tracks straight

[srislash]

You can weight the one side to compensate somewhat.I used to mount the motor over slightly to one side to make up for it too.Mmmm,maybe I should do that with the Bling rocket.Should have new ESC's for the cat by the weekend.

[masonis1]

Nice. It does sit a little to the left and it would torque to the right so it's good.

[seehuusen]

cool, yeah 42mm sounds closer to the mark :)
the prop you have would be 42mm @ 1.3pitch (e.g. 55mm travelled forward per revolution of prop)

my props sit in that 52mm to 58mm pitch as well... I gotta drill out this 35mm 1.7p prop I got, as that would be sitting at around the 58mm mark... Not sure if the pitch is too steep, time will tell I guess :)

Thanks for confirming the size of the prop Mason

[masonis1]

My prop also had some added pitch and was detongued
