???what

I would think a x427,x430,x432,x435 and 2s my friend tenshocks are good motors. There is 1427 also which is a 1.4 pitch like the x4 series but it has more lift incorporated in the blade style.The sweet one will likely be the 430!

What flex do you have the threaded or ?

For an Eco you need a submerged prop type, a bit different from the surface ones. Most eco props are around 26-32mm. For the size of yours, I would go with the 26-28. The only problem is finding these props: Graupner only makes 29 and 30. Hydro&Marine makes a 25 and a 28, but they do not come cheap:

why do you NEED a submerged prop? Also if want the octura to be submerged just submerge it lol. Like i said octuras go down to 27 mm. I dont see much difference between a grapuner k and octura x series but anyway....

It doesn't matter anyways cause a 27mm is going to be too big on that motor even more so with the prop being totally submerged.

A submerged prop for the eco class has a different cupping and is a bit more rounded...

Because the boat has a submerged prop! It runs totally under water so it is under constant load...unlike a surface prop which is what most of us usually run. A submerged prop has to be much smaller.

27mm diameter, 34mm pitch for 3200KV on 3S or 4200KV on 2S. These are for 4mm threaded shaft. Original TENSHOCK props.

If my camera wasn't dead I'd send you a pic of a prop IN THE PACKAGE.

Sailr is right, Tenshock only makes two diameters prop for the eco :27 for the mini (two options of pitch) and 29 for the eco expert (again different pitches).

The Graupner and Octura props have big wide blades on them. The Tenshock submerged props have a much narrower blade...more like a real racing prop on a full scale racing boat.
