Thanks again Reddy.
That Y537/3 is a magic prop.
Seems like my plan to get 50mph from 18 of my cells with only 50 amps draw was a bit optimistic.
I will still use a 12XL but might have to settle for 40 - 45 mph top speed.
We race around the full circuit with 100 metre straights so by the time you have completed 1 coursing lap to the clock start, 4 racing laps, and then a slow down lap, you have used up pretty close to 3 minutes on the water.
I don't want to drain the NiMH cells down too far so my calculations are based on at least 5 minutes running.
Just have to start saving for those lipos and a Neu.
