    Tenshock props as Aflfa posted. I had got some from MINICAT as the owner is a member of our club. pretty nice props. Mine went to the bottom testing one of Fightercats boats for him. He just sent me a few more. I will run them again. If youv seen my DF cat single drive maiden vid in the vids section, it was running the 42mm Tenshock.

      hey Alfa;
      These props you show,are they for your genesis,will they fit,also,is one left and the other right?So far I have installed the power trims on my genesis.The motor mounts are in and getting ready to install the motors.Installing them will be difficult as there is no room to get your fingers or allen wrenchs in there.I have also layed kavlar on the tunnel and now waiting for the battery tray from Fightercat racing.I used the former battery trays for the esc mounts.They will be laying behind the motors on top of the battery trays and in the sponsons. There are some photos on the build in my gallery.Any input would be helpful.

        Berylium copper age hardened http://www.matweb.com/search/datashe...b9e6792&ckck=1

        I've worked with 7075 aluminum. It machines easily and is very strong. Bending it is like bending any hard material; it's hard to bend and cracks easily. That means you can't modify the props by bending and then harden them like the as cast bronze props.

        I've been pleasantly surprised at the performance of the CNC 7075 heat treated props. I had some custom made and SAW raced them in severe RPM (10s/1600kv & 6s/2200kv) and exceeded 80mph in some cases. Nerr a prop issue. Except losing cables on deceleration with brass insert collets... (don't use the brass insert collets. The shaft will unwind on deceleration)

            I like the 443 that I got from you, I polished it up and balanced it, even though I don't think you have to?
