    Get a X648 detounge, thin and balance it, and see how that works. Did you detounge the Prather?

        I'm sorry guys, I got ahead of myself. I forgot to show what it did on 6s, still pretty fast. I just got so excited about the 80.6 on 7s I forgot how good it did on 6s.....Prather prop. May have went a touch faster with the m645

          If you totally detounge the Prather it will take a lot of the prop walk out, and if you get the X648 do the same with it.

                Nicely done Travis. Kind of strange the m645 dont propwalk but the prather 230 does not much difference in them other than a slight pitch 2.8/3.0...I guess at those rpm's that little bit could make the diff....one of the reasons I go smaller props higher kv motors, no propwalk...looking forward to seeing what the detounging does...DJ

                  Thanks. I'm pretty stoked but I know she's got more in her. I'm really wanting to try a neu 1521 tho. I think it'll be a little fast on 6s. Here some pics of the two props. You can clearly tell the m645 is thicker too....

                        Thanks! I'll check into that prop. Cant hurt to try it.

                        Edit: I see the 1816 is 1.6 pitch....same as I have now. ...is it just a much better prop? Or maybe go with the 1.8 pitch version?

                          You could try both, but don't put too much thought into comparing the numbers. ABC props will typically perform (and load) to a higher degree than other brands with similar pitch and diameter numbers.

                            That little bit of back cut should help a little too, you might want to put a little more in it. I'm trying to remember what style of back cut they call that...
