Very nice congrats it is cooking!!!!
I am at 52 mph stock motor and ESC, Grim 4s pack, new 5.5 connectors, Hughey cable, Aeromarine cable collet, strut straight and Octura M645 S/B prop with the blades thinned to .015-.018" (.381-457 mm).
BTW Within minutes I tried an Octura X642 S/B 49-50 mph. No thinning required slight balancing needed a real good handling and fast prop.
Then I also tried my third prop an Octura M545 48-49 mph I did not like it because of lots of torque steer hard to drive and poor handling.
But I have not thinned the blades on this M545 prop yet and they are FATTIES. That might be why.

Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in on this thread, don't want to start a new one.
I've read up a bit on the threads on this boat, but maybe not as closely as I should have :)
So I ran my Revolt today with a bunch of different props and could not hit 42 mph, 41.9 was it!
All my testing today was bone stock, trim tabs neutral, strut neutral, 4S pack as far back in the tray as it would go and the pad removed.
Tested using Thunder Power 1P4S 65C pack.
I have not scuffed the bottom of the hull yet, but I was running on some beautiful water today with just a slight ripple.
Tried the following props:
42x55
M445
X642
M545
M645
M647
All S/B/P and the last three were back cut.
After all runs the motor and ESC were nice and cool.
Why didn't I run faster ?!?!
Should I do what the club guys are doing, pull the strut and run a SV27 stinger centered?
Is there a magic trim adjustment I missed?
Thanks for your knowledagble input as always.
Here's a bit of footage from today with the M647...FUN DAY!!!!:
Tommorow I'm headed out to try to find my buddies DF26...somewhere at the bottom of Heart Lake :)This is NOT a toy?!?Comment

What i have noticed is that not all the stock motors are created equal there are some that have seen over 50 on a stocker with a m545 but i could not break 40 with mine. From what i have seen is the m445 or m545 is the best prop for this boat some have had luck with the x642 but my best results have been with the m series and my strut has no angle its dead even. I would try another motor perhaps a UL-1 motor if you wanna keep that stock feel to your boat me personally just never had luck with stock components others have just not me.Im Only Responsible For What I Say Not For What You UnderstandComment

Could it be as easy as resetting the Tx ?
I had the same trouble (stuck @ 38.7) and I found out that I was not setting the throttle trim knob to 2.00 o'clock. That's all it took was full throttle.
