Blackjack 29 v3 props

any suggestions for the best prop for the new blackjack 29 v3? Looking to run on 6s. From what I've read an Octura x442 S&B seems to be the best bet?? Any others to get top speed?

If its the 2000kv motor i think 6s is overboard................if you want to run that though a 442 is too much prop, x438 or possibly x440.

As a friendly reminder to a new member, in the future its best to start your own thread with a question about your own boat which is completely different from the OP's twin larger Cat.

Ok thanks! Yes it is the 2000 kv motor. I tried 4s out of the box and it wasn't very fast thus went 6s which was much more fun. My motor and ESC are barely warm to the touch after running for 7-9 minutes. Was just looking for an easy upgrade to gain even more speee in a super flat pond I use. Sounds like I should try the x438 or x440. Any preferences? Thanks Again and sorry for not starting a new thread I'm new to the site :)

You can start with a Graupner K series in the 38-40mm range for testing, 6 bucks each, then move to a permanent prop like the Octura

Do you think I will notice an increase in top speed with the upgraded prop as compared to the stock prop? If it's 2-3 mph im guessing it's not really worth it. If 5-10mph I'll probably spend the money. Thanks!

Here's an excellent thread for the new BJ29v3's... http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...C5-plugs/page2 - might wanna follow make-a-wake's advice & post your questions there. That'll give you the opportunity to share the results of your tests for the benefit of all, just as others have.
