Prop Suggestions for Matrix Rigger?

[Meniscus]

I just picked up a Matrix and before I get too far with powerplant setup, I'd like to know what props everyone has had success with.

Thanks!

Thanks. I did a search and have been reading several of the threads here on OSE and RRR. I was hoping that others have had time to refine their setups and be able to share their experience.

I have a matrix rigger that uses a UL-1 motor on 4s. I use a octura x445 . I ran it at the local club meet . They said it was plenty fast . I hope this helps.

You are going about it all backwards. Choose the motor, ESC and packs first, position them in the boat to get the CG, then find the prop. A good prop for a 4S UL-1 setup will not be the same for an Neu 1515/1Y or for any N-2 setup. Tell us the power, then we can be of more help.

OK you caught me fishing for other's setups.

I'm thinking 4s1p, MarinePower EON33 4550 mah, with Nemesis 6XL. I do have some other options available. I've also been toying with 2s2p, same batts, with a Lehner Basic 5000 XL.

Thanks, I'm humble.

I'll take a punt here and will take the flames if needed as that is my vocation.

For a 6XL on 4S in a rigger a good kick off is a X637 if you have one handy.
My big rigger that has the same power setup uses a 637 for fun and then a 640 for real fun and a 642 for not so much fun but nuts out speed. !!

There ya go Ben !!
X6 props all round.....Get Andy or Chuck to tweak you a 642 and you will have smiles from here to Christmas.

Same props here, I had a 3s 2p Matrix with a Neu 1512 1.5D and started with a X637, then a X640 and the X642 was starting to show high temps on the lipos. All three props were de-tougued and back cut.

Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it!

Ben, I have a spare X637 that I'll probably never use. If you want it, it's yours.

[Meniscus]

Mike, I'm was going to try the Matrix tonight or tomorrow. It's funny. I thought I had an x637, but all I have is a V937/3 and an x437/3 that's more oriented for a mono. If you don't think you'll use it, then I'd love to have it.

I have an extra x632 if you're interested or have the need.

Thanks!!!

[Chilli]

PM me your address and I'll get it in the mail. You'll have it by the weekend. Don't need the 632 but thanks for the offer.

Mike

[Meniscus]

PM sent. Thanks Mike!

Is there anything else you need? I've got some other parts sitting around. Just let me know.

[Chilli]

No Problem Bro. It's in the mail. Should be there by mid week.

I'll be in your neck of the woods the last week in August. Going to take a week long vacation in VA Beach in conjunction with the District 12 race that OD hosts. Hope we can see the band playing if you have a gig scheduled!
