    Aquacraft GP-1 hydro prop suggestions?

    I have an aquacraft qp-1ulta hydro with unknown 3000kv motor aquacraft 35a ESC and all stock running gear, battery is a venom 11.4v 1300mah. I was wanting to get a few props to play with but didn't know where to start. As of now the boat starts to chine walk at abt half throttle. Any help is appreciated
    Thanks

    Prop can help.. BUT.. lets get that chine walk taken care off first.

    WARNING.. you are about to void your warrantee..

    To start.. remove the rudder brackets and sand off just a tick of the plastic bump that separates the two parts between the rudder post.
    Next, cut off and remove the two oring hooks from the sides of the brackets.
    reinstall on the boat and slide the rudder back in place.
    Install a 3mm X6mm screw and nut through the openings.
    Snug up the parts but do not over tighten.

    What we are doing here is removing ALL the slop in the rudder..

    Charge, Rock, Repeat...

        That fixed a good bit of it!! I forgot to mention that I have the esc in front of the motor and the Rx is on the starboard side of the battery. The chine walk is still there but now I'm able to get abt 3/4 throttle before starts but now it's more severe then before. I could get pics of the way it's setup if that would help.

        Thanks

          you want the "weight" on the left side of the boat.. Order an Octura red (X431).. you can get them here at OSE. I also sand taper the water intake to a sliver of what it is now. Remove the meat around the intake... (Thin the wall)
