What would you recommend for a stock setup on 4s to upgrade to a little better prop ? Thanks !

How are you temps at the moment? I think those props are ss just need s/b! then go from there.

[jim82]

You will be surprised at how much an S/B prop will do.

If you do not have the talent what so ever talk to Dasboata!

I have sharpened and balanced the stock also have the following x442, x445, x645 and a M445 I guess I'll start with the x442

I like the X440/3 but mine is on 6S. Strut depth is a key factor too.

I run a prather s220 on my V2 miss geico which is stock with a 60 amp esc, and a 1500 kv motor. I'm running 4s as well. Stock stainless proboat stiletto prop is basically a prather s215 but slightly better cast/cleaned up a bit. It certainly goes quick with the 220 wickedly sharpened, polished, and balanced...

What did you end up with?

I too am curious about my v3, anyone got details on prop recommendations. 4s or 6s , diameter, pitch, brand, temps!

I run 4S with a S&B Octura x642 and just hit 41mph today. Previous best was 38.5mph. I dropped the strut another 2mm this weekend. Motor wire connectors are still pretty hot, 180-190*F, but everything else was 130*F or cooler after a 5min full throttle run.

Have been trying to find the prop that you recommended it was a X440/3 B/S what is the brand name and what is it made out of.
Thanks,not sure this is the right place for this request

I've ran the b220 & x446. The 220 seems to be a great replacement. X446 is a bit to aggressive for stock electronics.

The prop is made by Octura. The model is an x440/3, which means x series, 1.4 total pitch, 40mm diameter, 3 blade. B/S was an abbreviation for balanced and sharpened. It's sold in a raw, unfinished version as well. It's made from copper beryllium. You can buy it from OSE prepped and ready to race here: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...B-oct-x440%2F3
