Replacement ESC for the UL-1??

[Capt. Crash]

My 40X57/3 will not get the boat on plane unless I goose it to get out of the hole then let way off and let it hook up. This will take a few yards. I have my prop depth at 14-15/16" or about where the boat came setup originally. If I lower the prop down some, to 1" it hooks up faster and easier.

Have you sharpened the prop?

My prop depth is 1 1/8"

This is strange...my L40 x 57 gets on plane very quickly. Sounds like you may have sharpened prop incorrectly. Double check and make sure everything is tight and not slipping (collet on cable, collet on motor shaft, drive dog on propeller shaft).

I've been balancing and sharpening my props for 5 years now so I know it's sharp enough and balanced correctly. Im going to drop the strut down an 1 1/4" and start from there. I'll try that tonight.. the stock carbon prop is the same prop as the copper 40X57 so I didn't think I would have to drop the strut that much but that's what I'll do tonight. thanks for thelp guys!!
