Think i need more prop

[MAMBA2200]

So i went out to try the new combo yesterday leopard 3674 1900kv and m445 prop and its a very safe combo with decent speed the first run 42.5mph i finally broke 40 whooo hooo temps were esc 98 motor 97 ambient of 86 with a water temp of 76 this is a very cool running set up to say the least on the second run which was made back to back of the first run i got 43.2mph both runs were around 4 min before lvc and the temps were nearly identical with esc 97 and motor 99 so im gonna order a m545 to go on it any other suggestions here is a couple vids i made and i was running 4400mah 40c packs

Put a straight edge on the bottom of the vee and see if your strut is parallel and about 3/16" to 1/4" above. Batteries should be not more than 3/4" from the back of the tray.
With his set up and the M545, I get 45 to 48 mph with stock motor and ESC. Also, I'm using a 4200 mah pack not 5000.

Weight matters.

Found that my expo settings were not at 100% and now it sounds like the motor is twisting also i had added a bec before my last run checked my eagle tree and it has dropped the amp draw by 20 amps b4 bec 121a after bec 101a i like that:D

i ordered me a 5s 5000mah 40c pack for my revolt last night that should be ok with the motor esc set-up i use right????

I was gonna suggest 5s instead of bigger props. I wouldn't use the m445 to start I would go with x440 x442 or grim 42/55. Any of those props on 5s will get you into the 50's without blowing anything to start

thanks dana good info

[MAMBA2200]

well i bought a m545 prop today from OSE gonna try this prop on 4s and just a good excuse to add another prop to my collection lol

[dana]

How did 5s work for you?

[MAMBA2200]

well i havent had time to run the 5s yet but im gonna run it in the next night or 2 i will let you know i was just ordering some stuff for my mystic i just bought and figured i would just go ahead and get one

[MAMBA2200]

well tried on 5s and the esc took a crap on me so i bought a 180a esc for it hope it will work on 5s at least i will have more amp draw room to play with

[dana]

Sorry to hear you fried the esc. Which one was it? What prop were you using?

[MAMBA2200]

it was a seaking 120 it moved about 50 ft and just stopped and that 50 ft was under 1/4 throttle
