MiniMono metal prop upgrade?

[vans552]

Does anyone know a good metal prop for the Aquacraft minimono? I saw that octura has a couple that are the right size but im not for sure , but any suggestions?

stock prop is 30mm two blade frp prop with a 1/8(3.2mm) prop shaft

I've got the y531 on mine. (purple plastic) After I get my issues worked out I may try a x432 just to see how it reacts.

Minimono prop upgrade

I just put an Octura x432 on mine with a bullet nut. It makes a huge difference in the acceleration. Im not sure about the top speed but Im guessing its faster. I cant even get close to opening this thing in my pool and havent been to the pond yet.

Just ordered the x432 also for this and i just switched out that junky esc. for a 35 amp watercooling. I have the esc. already installed and i can notice a huge difference.

What brand of ESC did you go with? I would be interested in changing mine out also. Thanks.

I am using an Octura 430 prop and the shorter Mini-Rio rudder. I also removed the turn fins as they are unneccessary.

Overall, once you replace the ESC and the drive shaft, it's a great boat!

Anyone run a prop bigger than 32mm?

Was that ESC easy to install? I have big hands and Im not very handy with these little boats?? I would also like to know what drive shaft was used by the other person who posted on here. Its not a good sign when they include an extra shaft with the boat!! Thanks guys!!

I dont see the wire that runs from the esc to the receiver in the picture of the 30 amp ESC from china. Thats what scared me. I need a direct replacement. If Im going to have to modify any parts I will be screwed!!

Change the drive shaft to an Octura .098 shaft. You will need to find a drive dog that will fit both the boat and the shaft as the one that comes with .098 will not fit the boat.

Thank you for the info. Im actuallly sending the boat back to Hobby Services tomorrow. I put the battery in yesterday and the ESC caught fire. I had to run outside and rip it out. Hopefully they will send me a new one asap.
