    Help me choose a prop

    I have an 1850kv motor that came out of a TT Desperado Jr boat that I want to install in my brushed Shockwave 26. The latest brushless Shockwave has a 2000kv motor in it, so I figure I won't be far off of the performance with this setup. Where I'm stuck though is choosing a prop. I could go with the stock prop from the current Shockwave easily enough, but if I can get a bit more out of the setup with something else I will. The batteries I already have include 2 cell 5000mah and 3 cell 2200mah lipos. If there is a prop reference somewhere that will show me what to use I'll gladly educate myself. And, of course, I'd love to hear from some Shockwave owners on what's working well for them. And if there are any difficulties or pitfalls in making the conversion, I'm all ears.

    Worked well on my v2 brushless. Truest me, these are big but they work well with no prop walk.
