    From 3s to 6s is a wide margin, your motors would have to be fast enough for 3s and don't get burned with 6s. What kv?
    Such a margin it is hard to give a specific size of props.
    Too many boats, not enough time...

        I think a pair of CR CNC 442's or 642's would be a good pic for you. I assume you will just be working out the bugs on 3s. It's gonna be slow. Will you be running 4-5s? If so a pair of 45mm props would be good in that range.

        BTW, CNC are not optimum but with that range they are my safest suggestion for the amp draw on 6s.

              I wouldnt go above 5s, 4s is plenty and will be quite fast. A pair of counter rotating x447's would get you moving out on 4s, 442's for 5s.

                  Just realize that every prop suggestion given was with the 3674 2200kv's...................you have 4074's of unknown kv in the picture now..........

                    What would you like to know? They are good, strong, handle 6s well with BEC disconnected and have an LVC issue which is an easy fix.

                        Yes he most certainly can!!

                        Chris,
                        Received mine today - GREAT JOB!!

                        Now that's how they're supposed to look

                        I knew those bozo's in California screwed me over (thank God for PayPal), you just proved it.

                        That's was my first order, but it most certainly will not be my last.

                        Keep up the good work!
