    Thats odd. Mine ran great with the x445 all stock. If the m545 doesnt run good I have a detongued 642 sitting here

      Never tried X-445 I have to S&B one I have here, M-545 ran fast but tail wag bad at top end. Yours should like the detongued X-642. Was at Hobart, IN yesterday great race only once a year need some Fast Electrics to show up.

        The x445 is the best running prop I have for my stock revolt. Im going to test the leopard revolt with the m545 today and see where Im at. I plan on raising the strut a few mm to get some hull in the water.

          Have fun today. I did all my prop testing at .400" hull bottom to center line of tube and Zero angle no +/-.

            Thats about where mine is, however when I first ran the red revolt with the leopard with the m445 it was way too aired out and blew over when I got close to 3/4 throttle.

                Lol yeah man she was running very good until it snapped the prop shaft. I think the .187 cable is gonna take care of that though

                  Ran it again today.. didnt end well. The leopard is just way too powerful for this hull. With a neutral strut setting and 0* thrust angle, the bow is raising way too much and causing a blow over. It's about as fast as my stock revolt at 1/2 throttle, and if I try to pull full throttle the hull jumps out of the water and it goes crazy. Im going to raise the strut and drop the trim tabs a little bit and try again, also going to prop down. The m545 had way too much bite and threw the hull around like a rag doll.

                              Some slight nose damage, it should be repairable.
