    Prop Help

    I just installed a Leopard 4082 1600 in a Pursuit. I have X 442, X445,X645 and a M445 props. I'm trying to learn props which of these would be the best starting prop and the main differences in these. Thanks any information is greatly appreciated.

    Hard to say without knowing what voltage you intend to run. 4s? 5s? 6s?
    Also, what make & size ESC would be helpful.
    See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

        Easy, start with the 442, run, time your runs, check temps etc, go up one size at a time. You will only find the best prop for your setup by testing. It also depends whether you will be racing, sport running or zoom zoom. A 150A esc is not real big if you are after speed.

          As Pete says. Start with the 442.
          When you have it all trimmed out & running well on that, the 445 will be the next to try. It will be a shorter run time though.
          Another great prop on that boat with those revs if you are running oval laps it the X440/3 blade.

              For sure you can try them all.
              Just watch the temps & run times. Check every minute. while dialing in the boat.
