    Prop help for stock AQ Rio EP

    Need suggestions for a prop (maybe Octura?) for a all stock Rio EP - 550 motor, 25A esc, 6 cell 3000mah NiMH. Stock is a 42mm frp. Just looking for a good comp or better yet still keeping temps reasonable.

    Hi,
    I did a lot of modding to my Rio when it was stock,
    And then made it a modded brushless Rio.
    I run it on 2s and 3s and the prop I like the best is a x440/3 S & B,
    You will need to make a sleeve for the shaft from the 1/8 to 3/16.
    But no big deal to do that,
    With that prop it has very little torque roll if any and Gps at 32mph and a lot of fun.
    This is the first time I ran it on 3s,
    I needed to move the port side trim tab down a hair.
    To stop the little bit of hopping in the video.
    Smooth a glass now.

      Thanks Lenny for your input. x440 - I'll have to consider that one.
