    Help with sizing a prop on a stealthwake 23"

    So I bought a SW 23" about a week ago, and of course I blew the stock motor. Being new, I did not know about the break in procedure. Needless to say I went a tad balls out on the new motor. I got a Valineon 3500kv and VXL3s. Yes I know it's a car motor/esc but it's waterproof and my cooling cool will fit it. Any ways, I'm trying to find a proper size/pitch prop for this setup on 2S. I do not intend to use 3S in this boat because it's already going to be crazy enough. Also, if at all possible help with a flex shaft. I was following one guy from here with his 1800KV motor but he cracked his hull putting the tube in. So, I'd like to avoid that as well. Any other info you need to accurately size a prop?

      I think an x438 would be a good start.

          It doesn't have the right shaft size.

              Ose sells adapters. Little sleeves to bush the hole. I take it you have a 1/8" shaft? If so:

              If not, see this page to find the right one

                      Cool I'll look into getting those two items. Also, the size is wishing the range that one of the guys from the website email suggested. Should I keep the same pitch as stock?

                              Is the x438 already "sharpened" or do I need to do it? I saw that there was a sharpened and balanced version, so I'm not sure.

                                  They come raw unless you buy one that specifies that it is s/b.

                                      Something tells me this is going to be a tad crazy for my little stealthwake...
