Bigger motor

I've got one of those too and the pitch gauge, I need to get that special hammer next. Jay that prop is looking good. I was thinking maybe you should try a 645 possibly, if your esc isnt getting hot, that added capbank you did should help handle it on a saw run....looking forward to seeing how far you get with this...

That prop I'm working on is an m645 ; )

Have you used that cupping jig yet?

[olwarbirds]

Yes I have. It's nice but I do see the need for a special hammer, I used a small ballpen with some leather attached so I would not damage the prop. The prop I cupped did increase the speed on my Genesis. I destroyed the GPS unit that was in my genesis on that run, got a new Garmin 201 but havnt run it yet to tell you how much faster it was. 78mph was the original speed test and the boat wasnt even tuned correctly yet nor did I get it wide open before it did a serious tumble that crushed the other GPS unit between a lipo and the Hull. Lesson learned, secure GPS unit better ! Same prop your working a 645 S/B/T back cut and cupped slightly. I got alot to learn on working props yet. DJ

Nice! I see that Voodoo has a special hammer you can buy, this is the one I have that I was going to use. It looked to be similar. image.jpg

How do you secure your GPS? I just use double sided Velcro. I've crashed a couple good times and it's stayed in place.

[olwarbirds]

That hammer looks right. I did previously use double sided hook and loop. After that acrobatic tumble, I've decided to strap it down more securely from now on. Plus I'm going to put some foam rubber under and around it to lessen the shock some I hope !

Good idea!
