    I've run, raced and won while using carbon props. I have no issues running carbon props on boats that run 40-50 mph with 7xl or 8xl motors. Most of my boats are setup to run in the 25k-30k area. More than that isnt needed for my personal setups. If a person needs more rpm than that, they should also have the ability to sharpen and balance a prop, so use metal.

        That's the information I was looking for!

        My fastest RPM setup is theory 32k (4s 2200kv) and plan on going with a metal prop for final config (M445). Other setups are all 3s-2700 or 4s-1800 and I'd like them to stay with the CF Props.
