Prop(s) for a Shovelnose

[Karfrik]

its a fiberglass Maus/Bandit i just bought used here in OSE.It will be powered by a SV27 motor on a 90a Turnigy esc,2S-3S lipos running on a .150 flex.
What would be the ideal prop(s) for this setup?.......thanks,....Albert/karfrik

[Jeepers]

well that motor likes to run on 4s 2x 2s packs in series 42-45mm prop would be good!

[Karfrik]

bump!! any more suggestions?...someone told me i need a prop with higher pitch for the shovel hydro in order to stick the front up.If so which ones in specific?....thanks,...........Albert

I am reworking one also and am getting a prather 215 and an X442, X642 and a couple of other smaller ones to play with
I should add mine is goign to have a BJ26 motor

I have a Campbell classic hydro and use a Prather 215 but the motor is an ammo 2300 kv you might want to try a Prather 220 with your motor.

[Karfrik]

Well,the SV27 motor didn`t materialized but was offered,by the same seller,an Ammo 2300 too.So thats what i`m getting.
What Esc`s are you guys using? I`m thinking on getting either a Turnigy 90A or 120A.Which ones would you guys suggest? the Marine version(more expensive) or the waterproof one(cheaper)?
Lipos are going to be 2S 20C-25C 5000mah for now.

And Jim what kind Hydro(size) are you reworking?......

Egneg,the Campbell is around 22-24" right?......................thanks guys,Albert

[JimClark]

It is a maus shovel 24 inches
This is the hull I have

[Karfrik]

Jim,same hull as me....Thanks for the picture!!

egneg,whats the rotation on the Ammo?...

And what size lipos are you guys running? also let me know about your esc`s actually on them and what you think about the Turnigys i mentioned if any experience with them.Any suggestions on this?

Here are couple pics of mine.Already did a template for the tailfin that will be added, plus i`m planning on changing sponsors...... .....Albert

[JimClark]

I am going to use 2 2S 4500 to 5000 mah lipos in mine with a BJ26 motor
I modified the sponsons to change the dihedral to 3.5 degrees and will repaint it with a generic paint job.

Wow that thing is fast and beautiful!!! was that on only 1-2S lipo pack or 2 of them?...
On the Ammo motor,by rotating left you mean counter clockwise right?....Thanks much for the video,.........seems I`m ready to finish buying the stuff i need thanks to you guys,............Albert

[egneg]

It is 2 x 2S packs in series and yes it is standard rotation.

[Karfrik]

Hi again guys,need to know where to get my water pickup for the esc.The rudder is not such equipped,so should i go with a transom setup or can i use a bottom hull one?..thanks again,....Albert
