    prop upgrade question

    Let me start by saying im a newb so feel free to enjoy my lack of knowledge while it lasts I own the Genesis from HK with a
    36-74Size 2075kv Watercooled Brushless Inrunner (stock from HK)
    200A skywing ESC/BEC
    2x 4S 20C 5000mAh (parallel)
    Octura x440 prop (3 blade)
    dont know the exact temps but its barely over warm after a full 8-10 minute run.

    here is my question.
    Im seeing videos of boaters running the same setup but with the x642 (2 blade) is that too big of a prop for my setup? seems like A LOT of sizes in the middle and i'd hate to buy it unless I can use it.
    Any feedback would be great!!

    Thanks,
    Ricky

    That's usually a great prop and one of my favorite. As an ex genesis owner one thing I can tell you is that the stock motor is very suspect. Mine fried very early on which is no big deal unless it takes out your good esc.
    Put a good motor in it and the thing will rip with that prop. A m445 works great as well.

      I have a buddy willing to let go of a Leopard 4074 2200k think thats enough to get her scooting with using all the same parts other then the motot switch?

        That would be good for a reliable 50+mph setup. The only other thing I would do is upgrade to the one piece cable.
