Sprint 36 race motor

Need help pease,
What motor do you guys like to use for heat racing and props with it ?

[Fluid]

When I oval raced mine I used a Neu 1527/1Y on 6S spinning a pitched-up x455 or ABC 2116/17* for speeds in the low/mid 60s. That was plenty fast to win heats in rough race water.

Wow x457 prop big wheel glad to here that’s.

Any others appreciate it.

The motor is of relatively low Kv, and the prop was run high with the centerline about 1/2” above the bottom of the sponsons. It’s possible to use a higher Kv motor and smaller prop, but most of us found this setup preferable for heat racing.
