recommendations of the propeller (46 'v-hull, leopard 5692)

[kaistapaa]

Summer comes, and should begin to order and the propellers do not know what to order. under the title of the boat and the thought of the need to shave 8s and 9s.motor kv is 1090 and the drive units 3/16 "

I'm building a similar boat (5692 1320kv, 8s and 45" hull) and I'm gonna start with a 646/3, although I'm pretty sure these motors will turn a 52mm - 55mm without breaking a sweat. The thing that worries me in your setup is your 3/16" drivetrain. It might be a little weak for a 5692?

[kaistapaa]

i hope that drivetrain can handle this motor.all hardware is from ose and i think quality is good,neverknow.i`m going to try props you say,diameter 52-55mm but what pitch?

x452/3 blade for 8s

I think a 46 mm prop will have a hard time getting a 45 in hull on plane as a 447 has a hard time moving my 41 correctly just my opinion I would go with make a wake suggestion but maybe try a 452 two blade first and a 455 two blade will pull about the same load as a smaller 3 blade like a 450/3 or a 452/3

More recommendations are heard .... selected as a Castle Creations hydra hv200 esc so it would be possible to increase the amounts of cell ..... (at the expense of the engine).
I use 8s and 9s batteries and motor and esc's own cooling lines ..... I hope to work well for cooling.

[Chrisg81983]

Most of my setups have single water pickups on them and cooling is verr good I never have high temps

What propeller do you guys recommend for the same motor, but 1/4" shaft?

[Make-a-Wake]

The only thing i can think of is a cut down x467................cut down to about 50mm since the blade area will still be quite large. Either that or get a 1/4 to 3/16 reduction shaft.

I had a .80 OPS powered Cat with x452/3 prop. if you accellerated normaly all was fine, if you jumped on it suddenly the 3/16
" flexcable would snap.
any smaller prop was just fine as far as the flexcable was concerned..
It really is a matter of prop bite ability (torque applied to the cable) rather than the motor size.

What was the outcome of these thread? I am building a 46" mono with a 5692 on 12s (740kv) and have no idea where to start and had no replies to my separate thread! was thinking of a x457/3?

Going to use a 1/4 shaft stepped down to 3/16 for more prop selection
