    record holding prop..

    Hey guys.. OK I'm going to attempt a record run here in October. My boat already holds the record at 79.5 one way pass. I need just a bit fast for my name to be the record holder.. any suggestions on how to do so? I want 80mph..

    So assuming your boat is an advanced saw boat that is running on the edge right now, do you care if that faster prop smokes your esc ? And most serious fast guys do run high end batts for a reason you have the best right ? I'm sure somone can make the props you have faster

      Assuming this is a club record? There are no records for one way passes.
      There are several of us that would have more of them on the "I love me wall" (lol) if that was the case.
      Tell us about your boat.

        Thomas, are you coming to the Flint, MI record trials event in October? What type of boat are you running?

            If you are only trying to find .5 mph use the same prop you have now and tweak a little more cup into it, or ask one of the experienced guys at the records trial nicely, or sent it to Dasbota for him to do the same. You can get that easily.

              Thank you.. I just bought another prop to have worked. The current prop is cupped but it doesn't look that great. Yes in running top batteries and she run on the edge.. boat has the two way past at 78.4@$... I'm going to PA in October for time trials.

                            Thomas, Bobs a great guy. He runs an IMPBA record trial. So is Flynt. Most of the guys here seem to pay attention to NAMBA records.

                            Guys Thomas is new to our club and is really excited to try this. I have seen the boat run and it is very stable. Thomas listen to these guys they know what they are talking about.
