Tenshock Eco

Flat out the best boat right out of the box I have ever bought. Runs great on 2S and fantastic on 3S. Great for my 2 sons. We have the carbon fiber version.

What prop are you using?

Prop

The one that came with it.....got a better idea?

What prop are you using?

[tlandauer]

No, that's why I asked you!
I was told that that prop has a tendency to lift and therefore the boat dives under water sometimes especially when you turn right, these ECO are left turning boats. Anyway, 27mm being the limit of the prop, few choices. MHZUSA used to sell eco props but they are not in business, just the web is still on.

well.....

Since your reply we went out and ran again on 3S and stuck it in the mud on the bottom, our fault. We brought it in and it had water in it, I guess it went under the tape. It's drying out, not sure if we fried something or not. With some throttle management, the prop can work. Also, we were using short 1350 (3S) and the CG may have been the problem. It's still an amazing boat in my opinion.

Not sure on the turning left, it turns both ways. I had to tune out the servo travel, it can turn too tight!

sure...I'd just make sure you don't get too hot anytime you make a prop change. We ran ours flat out and the motor was barley warm as is.

Thanks for the heads up, i hope i did not present myself as not liking the Eco, I love it, and in no way as being negative about it though.
I was adviced by someone who meant well and was generous with his time. The exchange of ideas took place over a phone conversation regarding the prop. I was just curious as to what prop you used.
Very glad that the boat is working out to your liking.
Cheers!

Everything good this morning, all dried out and running!

Well, we ran 2 packs today without any flips or dips! My 10 year old drives this and we ran the aquacraft mini-thunders.

Is this really a Tenshock Eco you are talking about here, or a Tenshock Mini Eco? 27mm seems very small for an Eco prop, I would expect 29-32mm.
