? what prop for Mean Machine?

[Lakefrontlivin]

Ran the cat this afternoon at lunch break...47.6 mph with the 646 prop.
Motor was a little hot after 2 minutes run time. ESC and Batteries were fine.. I'm going to try to make the water exit on the hull a little smaller diameter and try to slow the water down going through it..
Will charge the bats tonight and see how much they take..
Will try the 440/3 prop ASAP to see if there is a difference..
Thanx,
Tom H .

Just finished charging the batteries and they took 1550mAh each. Is that good for a little over 2 minutes runtime ?
Going to try the 440/3 prop next and GPS it... Hoping to get about the same speeds and a little cooler motor..
Later, Tom H.

To calculate your AVERAGE amps

Battery mah used (times) 0.06 (divided by) run time = average motor load in amps

1550Mah rating (times) 0.06 (divided by) 2.0 minutes = 46.5 amps

Multiply (times) 2 for batteries in parallel = 93 average amps , not peak.

Mah usage was about what should be expected from that runtime and setup.

Thank-you fro the response :)
Just wanted to get an idea if everything was OK.
I'm a little concerned with the ESC temp. as My temp gauge wasn't working..(batteries went dead )

I would definately reduce prop size.
