    Prop up my Titan 29?

    This is my present setup and I feel it perfect to run the boat in the open sea when the water is very calm and there are only few chops.
    Motor: Leopard 4082 1600Kv
    ESC: Hobbywing Seaking 180A-R
    Timing: 15°
    Battery: Zippy 5000mAh 40C 5S2P
    COG@ 30%

    Prop: X440/3
    Run time: 5 min
    ESC Caps: 49°C 120F
    ESC Temp: 42°C 107F
    Motor Temp: 38°C 100F
    Zippy: 52°C 125F
    Vmax= 71,1Km/h 44mph

    Prop:M445
    Run time: 5 min
    ESC Caps: 55°C 131F
    Etti Caps: 44°C 111F
    ESC Temp: 49°C 120F
    Motor Temp: 42°C 107F
    Zippy: 48°C 118F
    Vmax= 72,7 Km/h 44,8 mph

    I prefer M445 because it provides faster aceleration.
    I was told M props are like the X but with out the tung and this makes a little more slip at low speeds and then higher speeds at top speed.

    What prop should I try to reach 50mph at the pond with mirror water?
    Same diameter and bigger pitch (X645)?
    Or same pitch and bigger diameter (M447)?

      Thank you for your advice.
      So, no more than 45mm prop on this boat?

        You'll get into some torque roll issues if you go much bigger diameter

          Wake is right. Bigger prop= torque roll. X642 for your motor. I run 3674 1700kv on 5s with x444 and get consistent 49mph

            This morning at the pond on mirror water I had the fastest and hottest run ever with this Leopard 4082 1600Kv
            I was able to run full throttle always ... while turning too and the Zippys went at LVC in 3,5 minutes and these were the temps still with M445 Prop:

            ESC Caps: 56°C = 133F
            Etti Caps: 44°C = 111F
            ESC Temp: 51°C = 124F
            Motor Temp: 51°C = 124F
            Zippy: 60°C = 140F

            Top speed was 78Km/h = 48,5mph

            I read that 140F is the hottest temp for ESC and motor.
            Am I cooking the batteries?
            What are your suggestions? Can I prop up without ??
