Speed estimate

[Basstronics]

I know its just a guess, but how fast do you think the rigger is going?

I had fun realing in that hopped up SV27.



I need a GPS

[Alexgar]

hard to say 45 maybe alittle faster

Do you know and this is simply a guess for fun? I think it's 52-55 mph.

[Alexgar]

i was gonna say 50 but i was being conservative

[Basstronics]

I was told with the setup and prop to expect 60-65.

Motor: Leopard LBP3650 3900Kv
ESC: Hobbywing 120A
Batteries: SkyLipo 4000ma 40C 3S
Prop: X632 by m4a1usr

Honestly I dont know, yet. Next Wednesday Im ordering that mini GPS from Hobbyking though and having it shipped EMS. So I will know for sure.

Ive GPS'ed my other boat at 43 before and this is faster than that for sure.

You win a cookie sir!

Today on less than perfect conditions it did a 55.9 mph.

I would assume on conditions as in the above video it would be closer to 60.

I tried an X432B back cut (X632 currently) and the speed went wayyyy down 46.6 mph.

Yep the way i calc on an x632 i get 56.6mph.

[Basstronics]

Sweet. One day I need to learn these calculations!

I would like to see if there is a sweeter prop out there... Hmmm

The 1.6 pitch vs the 1.4 was evident... As soon as it went in the water I got a bit out I could tell it was way slower.

[TheShaughnessy]

you just use the speed calculator on OSE. Unless you want to know the actual formula the calculator uses.

[martin]

You should be able to use a larger prop on the 3650 - 3900kv for more speed. I use that size prop x632 on a 15" mono with a little 3800kv 450 size outrunner ( 28mm can size ) on 3s 60c. Just check temps.

[Basstronics]

What would you guys suggest prop wise?

[Make-a-Wake]

You win a cookie sir!
